Each candidate is required to produce evidence which demonstrates their achievement of all of the learning outcomes and assessment criteria for the unit.
Evidence can include: – assignments/projects/reports
– portfolio of evidence
Learning outcomes set out what a candidate is expected to know, understand or be able to do.
Assessment criteria specify the standard a candidate must meet to show the learning outcome has been achieved.
Learning outcomes and assessment criteria for this qualification can be found from page 8 onwards.
