How will I be assessed

This is an internally assessed course. It is 100% portfolio based. You can achieve the ‘Award’ then progress onto the ‘Certificate’.

You will be graded as Entry Level 3, Level 1, or Level 2 – this is dependent on the effort and work you put into each unit.

What will I learn

Career planning (how to write a CV, cover letter and prepare for an interview)

Work experience (you will attend a 2-week work placement in year 10 and then review the placement)

You may study some units in PE lessons (participating in exercise, teamwork, practising leadership skills)

Skills and Knowledge

On this course, you will learn important life skills. You will learn how to communicate and work independently as well as in a team. You will learn how to be better organised, how to manage your time, decision-making and leadership skills just to name a few.
