Internal Assessment 100%

The assessment of this module is holistic in nature and requires assessing on
the integration of skills and knowledge. To be successful in this module, the
learner must show evidence of achievement of the module aim. This approach
enables the assessment to be carried out by different means to achieve an
holistic outcome.

and skills are assessed more than once and in a variety of ways throughout the

abilities and avoids misrepresentation of failures caused by single cases of
poor performance.
