Assessment
100% coursework
BTEC qualifications are designed to be vocationally relevant, therefore assessments are predominantly coursework based and often involving the creation of a final product. All assignments for the course are written by the course team and therefore are tailored to meet the individual needs of the students.
Assessments can range from research projects and typed reports to practical demonstrations of using software or hardware, as appropriate. Each unit is individually assessed, with the final marks coming from the combination of points to produce the final grade.
Where does it lead
The course will help give the student important skills for the future.It can also help those who want to progress into further study or employment inthe ICT industry or business sector.
