Module 6 or 7 Fieldwork Investigation

Assessment Unit 6 Coursework Assessment Unit 7 Written

Candidates taking either Unit 6 or Unit 7 are required to undertake investigative work in the field to develop skills associated with planning, collection of primary and/or secondary data, presentation, interpretation and evaluation, in order to be able to produce fieldwork investigations. It is expected that some classroom based background study will be necessary to support this investigative work. Centres should ensure that candidates follow best practice in terms of safety procedures and risk assessment in fieldwork.
