A Partial Achievement is where a student completes their industrial placement and passes either the Core or Occupational Specialism components but not both.
Does the Student get a Grade or Certificate? No, the student doesn’t get a certificate but gets a Partial Pass on their statement of results
So what do they get? They get UCAS points based upon the grade they achieve in the component they passed
The tables here show the UCAS points that go with the result for a grade in either Core or Occupational Specialism the final column, where possible, is an approximate A level equivalent
