Unit 1 will be examined in January and Unit 2 will be examined in June. Please note that this is a challenging course on a limited timetable of three hours a week. Read and precis, between lessons and outside of class, is necessary if the course is to be completed on time.

The key skills exercises are optional since students can undertake these exercises in other subject or tutorial lessons. Please advise your teacher - before the lesson starts - if you wish to do a key skills exercise.
