The course is wide-ranging and the specification is designed to offer learners opportunities to study, propose and realise prototype solutions, closely linked to the real world of product design, in a range of materials. Recognising the routes that are pursued at GCSE, this specification provides candidates with opportunities to continue their studies either exclusively or as a combination of focus material areas, for example in resistant materials, graphics, electronics or, indeed, a mixture of these. Oral, written and drawing communication skills, problem-solving, cultural and social awareness, critical thinking and analytical, evaluative skills, ‘e-folio’, practical skills, CAD / CAM, will all be developed during the course.
