In order to achieve this qualification each learner will be required to attain four Mandatory Units, Level 2 PEO Units, the required number of optional units and the specified number of additional units, as detailed within the selected pathway. The overall grading type for this qualification is Pass/Fail. Units will be assessed and endorsed against the learners chosen discipline. Learners will be required to create a Portfolio of Evidence to prove their competence in the workplace. Learners should therefore select the unit that reflects the job they carry out in the workplace to be able to obtain the required workplace evidence.

Learners will be assessed in relation to their chosen discipline and endorsed accordingly. The endorsement will be printed on the certificate to show future employers which discipline was covered during their assessment.

This qualification is appropriate for age ranges 16-18 & 19+​.
