Description

Tutorial groups are arranged locally. Six of these are held at places and times to suit the students in each group, (normally about six). The course places a heavy emphasis on work based learning, (20 of the 60 credits per year are based on this). Work based learning is assessed by way of a weekly analytical log which must be kept by students, visits to the workplace by qualified assessors, and the writing of an end of year report.
