Making Learning Work has developed an alternative method of delivery which will allow students to gain the full level 2 award. The outcomes for successful completion of the course are identical to those in the delivery method 1 and will give students the equivalent to a grade B GCSE or 46 points.
For delivery method 2, the course is broken down into 4 manageable sections.
Learning Section 1: On-line Health & Safety Awareness Course -for successful students, Making Learning Work will cross-reference the underpinning knowledge gained from this course onto the level 2 course, which will cover the underpinning knowledge requirements of 6 of the 9 units set by City & Guilds.
Learning Section 2: Workplace Assignment Handbook - this handbook contains the majority of the practical assignments within the course and it is designed to allow students to work through while attending their work experience placement or work related learning. Doing the practical assignments in the workplace enhances the learning for the student. The handbooks are then assessed by Making Learning Work staff.
Learning Section 3: Classroom Based Delivery Handbook - this handbook contains the remaining underpinning knowledge not covered in the On-line Safety Awareness Course and the outstanding practical assignments from the Workplace Assignment Handbook. The knowledge and assignments need to be delivered by a safety professional, hence the classroom delivery.
Learning Section 4: City & Guilds Multiple Choice Exam - this remains the same for both delivery methods. I hour duration in which students answer 40 questions with a pass mark of 70%.
On successful completion of the above, students will receive the overall award and their GCSE Grade B equivalent or 46 points.
