The assessment methods can be delivered in any order. The result of one assessment method does not need to be known before starting the next.
Performance in the Assessments determines the overall grade of:
• Fail
• Pass
• Distinction
Professional discussion with a portfolio of evidence
The discussion will draw questions and amplifications from the knowledge, skills and behaviours mapped to this assessment method in the assessment plan. Again this will relate to both the Core and chosen Option KSBs
