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.
