The NCFE programme will use continuous assessment rather than examinations and you will be able to track your performance as you work towards your targets. You will be encouraged to manage your own assessments and identify where you have met the required standards. Methods of assessment may include web blogs, presentations, practical demonstrations, posters, reports, leaflets, interviews and discussions.
The programme is taught through theoretical and practical sessions. Each lesson will provide you with assessment opportunities as you work to achieve your goals and targets. You will need an active passion for the public services, and your tutors will encourage you to discuss your own achievements as well as the issues in society.
Our Study Programme includes opportunities for you to develop your English and Maths skills as required. You may be expected to complete GCSE qualifications as part of your course depending on your GCSE results.
