The qualification has been developed in consultation with employers, and HE representatives have also been involved to ensure the content is appropriate for those planning to progress to employment after further study. Students design graphics for a range of purposes, learning technical skills in areas such as layout and typography. These skills are applied in vocational projects, which develop and test students’ abilities. The qualification consists of three mandatory units, where students acquire professional skills for this area. Their knowledge and experience of presenting and developing a project for an external client is assessed through the Managing a Client Brief unit. The qualification is designed to enable students to refine their knowledge in the sector and increase their levels of independence, which is achieved through units in professional practice in art and design, and developing and realising creative intentions. Students then choose five from seven option specialist units in areas of graphic design such as illustration, branding, 3D and web design; this choice reflects the diversity and increasing digitalisation of skills for this occupation
