Assessment is by examination and coursework, although some components, such as the team project, are assessed by coursework alone.In your first year you must also complete an online risk and safety assessment to progress to stage two of the programme. The balance of assessment by examination, practical examination and assessment by coursework will to some extent depend on the optional modules you choose. The approximate percentage of the course assessment, based on 2019/20 entry is as follows: Year 1 Written examination: 41% Coursework: 59% Year 2 Written examination: 35% Coursework: 65% Year 3 Written examination: 50% Coursework: 50% Year 4 Written examination: 25% Practical: 6% Coursework: 69%
