Special notes
1
Candidates are expected to produce a portfolio of freehand drawings of landscape
features and elements, such as to express their design ideas to a potential client.
Presentation of the artwork should be tidy and include legible labels and written notes
where appropriate.
2
Drawings produced should show suitable media selection and use, and demonstrate
the candidate’s ability to apply a range of drawing techniques, including colour
rendering.

Please note
Providers must be accredited by the Qualifications Authority, or an inter-institutional body
with delegated authority for quality assurance, before they can report credits from
assessment against unit standards or deliver courses of study leading to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be accredited by the Qualifications Authority before
they can register credits from assessment against unit standards.
Accredited providers and Industry Training Organisations assessing against unit standards
must engage with the moderation system that applies to those standards.
