Assessor’s Signature:
The candidate may choose to approach the qualification holistically and combine elements
from multiple units together as part of a project. This is acceptable from a working
perspective but centres and candidates must ensure that each unit is evidenced in its own
right, which may require the candidate to present the evidence several times and will also
require them to clearly indicate for each unit where the assessment objectives and learning
outcomes are met. Centres must refer to the actual units to ensure that candidates
have fully met all the requirements.
