Overview

This course has been developed to recognise a learner's skills, knowledge and understanding of art and design activities, environments and operations.

The learners carry out a range of tasks that have been designed to recognise their achievements in a modern, practical way that is relevant to the workplace.

It does not certificate competence on the job but is a work-related qualification which will support progression to an NVQ once a candidate is in the workplace.

Specification aims

This qualification specifically aims to:

  • Develop learner's knowledge and understanding of design.
  • Develop learner's skills, knowledge and understanding in contexts that are directly relevant to employment situations, thereby enhancing employability within the design sector.
  • Develop learner's ability to work effectively in different design environments.
  • Enable learners to develop knowledge and understanding of the design environment, design practice, and demonstrate practical skills, techniques and processes through working on design briefs.
  • Encourage progression by assisting in the development of skills, knowledge and understanding which learners will need to undertake further education opportunities or enter employment.
  • Promote interaction between employers, centres and learners by relating teaching and assessment to real organisations.
