Assessment This unit is centre assessed and externally verified. In rder t achieve the unit yu must prduce a prtfli f evidence which, n request, will need t be made available t the OCR external verifier. Prtflis f wrk must be prduced independently and centres must cnfirm t OCR that the evidence is authentic. Evidence requirements Learners will prduce a client-fcused presentatin f the requirements f a client brief, the stages f the design cycle with apprpriate time planning and a final design specificatin in ne f the fllwing frms: Written reprt Presentatin with supprting dcuments (eg PwerPint) Vide recrd f a verbal presentatin Guidance n assessment and evidence requirements The cntent f the specificatin shuld be frmed based n the analysis f a cmpany themed/spnsred design brief. Learners shuld undertake research and make infrmed chices n areas such as target market, safety and the envirnmental issues assciated with the given prduct. Tutrs shuld aim t deliver this unit with an industrial theme. Learners shuld be given a client design brief, set by r themed arund a specific emplyer. The learners shuld spend time in grups and individually assessing the requirements f the brief. Learners shuld use a range f research and investigatin techniques and present their findings t their peers/tutrs/industry spnsr. T aid the evaluatin f the design develpment plan, learners may want t keep a diary t identify the success f the plan and establish any under r ver-estimatins.
