Assignments
In units assessed by assignments, your programme
team creates an assignment brief for students to carry
out set tasks and create evidence to work-related
scenarios. Assignments can include research, projects,
investigations, fieldwork, and experiments, and often link
theory with practical exercises.
All internal assessment is quality assured through a
combination of internal verication (carried out by you in
your centre) and external verication (sampling) which
we carry out annually to ensure all centres are assessing
consistently to the national standard.

Synoptic assessment
The content of some units (for example, Unit 4) helps learners
demonstrate that they can apply skills, knowledge and techniques from
across the qualification. Synoptic units can be assessed by assignment,
task, or exam and affect the overall qualification grade in the same way
as a regular unit.
