Many units will involve practical work, and assessment will be carried out on an individual and group basis, so students will be expected to fully participate.

Each unit typically has three assignments, which are supported with 'How To Do It Sheets', guiding the students through the assignment, giving tips on information to include. The whole course is supported by an excellent intranet site, containing all of the information students need, as well as additional support sessions during study periods. Throughout the course, course tutorial sessions will form a compulsory part of the timetable. Students will meet with their course tutor weekly, discussing their current progress, gaining feedback on their assignments and receiving support and guidance in their career aspirations. Student progress is also tracked through course tutorial, so students are aware of what grades they have achieved, and what they need to attain to achieve their desired grade. This all forms a vital part of the student success on the course.
