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
