Assessments for the three component units of this award are currently in production. They will be e-assessments that will be hosted on SOLAR. They will be standalone assessments.

Further to the three standalone assessments, we will be producing a combined assessment, which will cover all three component units. Therefore, there are currently four assessments in production.

The assessments will be available in Spring 2021. Should you have any queries or wish any updates on these assessments, you can contact the SOLAR team at solar@sqa.org.uk.

If you have any queries about the qualification, please do not hesitate to contact me.
