The OCNW Certificate in Craft and Design at Entry Level enables learners to develop skills in craft processes including research, design, making, presenting and evaluating. These skills can be gained in a wide range of different craft areas. This qualification is excellent as an introductory course and provides a direct progression route to the OCNW Certificate in Craft and Design at Level 1.

There are several features of this qualification that make it very appropriate for its target learners:

§         The skills in craft processes can be gained in a wide range of endorsed craft areas allowing the qualification to meet the specific interests and needs of the learners.

§         Moderation and certification can be offered throughout the year, allowing maximum flexibility for centres.

§         Unit certification is available for either of the units.

All units are assessed internally through the building up of a portfolio of evidence.

To achieve a unit certificate all assessment criteria within the specification must be achieved. For the full award both of the units must be achieved.

Internal and external moderation are a requirement for both units making up the full award.
