Modules
Each unit usually carries 15 credits. Units are designed around the amount of time it will take for a student to complete them and receive a qualification. This is known as the total qualification time (TQT). TQT includes guided learning activities, directed learning activities and assessment. Each 15-credit unit has a TQT of 150 hours – 60 guided learning hours (GLH) and 90 hours of independent learning hours (ILH). A typical week requires students to be in college on a day release for seven and a half hours when on campus but may be more when on a study tour or on an active site for learning both theoretically and practically.
Assessment method
Assessment on this course takes various forms: Centre-developed internal assignments that are set and assessed by centres, and Pearson-set assignments, which are set by centres in line with our guidelines and graded by centres. Pearson is the Awarding Body for this qualification. Pearson-set units are mandatory and target particular industry-specific skills. The number and value of these units is dependent on qualification size. For the HNC, we will assess one compulsory Pearson-set unit targeted at particular skills. This is a Level 4 core unit carrying 15 credits. All other units will be assessed through internal assignments set at the centre.
