Portfolios and journals will record and highlight the importance of professional development within the sector.

An innovative approach to assessment is evident with industry-led tasks which are current to the industry and vital to produce a more industry ready learner; this coincides with a large number of employee needs. A number of other methods such as essays, reports, presentations and reflections will be used to improve the academic skills of each student and prepare them for progression
