These qualifications are made up of units each representing a small step of learning. This allows the
qualifications to be completed at your own pace.
All of the units achieved can be ‘banked’. This means that if you want to take another qualification which
includes the same units you do not have to take them again.
Each Knowledge unit has:
• a level - shows how difficult it is
• a unit aim – explains what is covered in the unit
• learning outcomes – cover what you need to do (skills) or what you need to understand
(knowledge)
• assessment criteria – what you need to show (evidence)
