You will undertake work experience as part of the course to allow you to get hands on experience of the industry.
You are assessed via assignments which are set in each unit throughout the College year. Assignments vary between group and individual work, with many different assessment methods employed in order to reflect the real world of work and all classwork and assignment work is available on Google classroom to ensure you have access to your work on a 24/7 basis.
