How You Will Be Assessed

Assessment will be on a unit-by-unit basis, each having both theory and practical elements to achieve. You will be given feedback as you progress through the skills taught and then once you are competent, you will be prepared for assessment tasks. Theory is assessed through written assignments, tests and online exams and practical assessments.

You will be required to model for each other to gain practical competence in a variety of skills.
