  Portfolio tasks for units 2-6, a test set by the awarding body, a satisfactory report from personal tutor for unit 1 and a satisfactory Personal Action Plan for Unit 7.  Students must also achieve Key Skills at an appropriate level for this qualification.  A work placement, a mandatory part of the course, is usually arranged for the second and third term within the student's locality, but this can vary. Students are expected to gain a satisfactory report from the workplace supervisor.
  
  Placement for 1 day a week is optional in the third term,  therefore an Enhanced CRB check is essential . Any disclosures or previous convictions must be made to the tutors.
