Introduction
The is course is broken down into **SIX** semesters over the **TWO** years of the course. Each semester is then broken down into **THREE** units (a total of 18 Units). Units are then broken down into **learning outcomes.** **Learning outcomes** state exactly what a learner should //‘know, understand or be able to do’// as a result of completing the unit.//'// These **learning outcomes** are broken down into Pass, Merit and Distinction criteria that you, as students, must evidence to pass the course. Although this may sound rather complicated, it is in fact a process that will seem second nature after just a few assignments. Enjoy your time here at college and we hope you enjoy the course//.//

Your First 2 Weeks

Unit 0 has been designed to introduce you to the course and develop a range of skills that will benefit you as an **academic athlete,** but an assignment that can also be used as evidence towards ICT Key Skills.
