Does this diploma require a work placement?
No qualification-wide placement-hour rule is stated.
What does this mean for your study?
The qualification specification does not state a single placement-hour requirement for the whole diploma. That does not remove practical assessment. Each selected unit has its own conditions, and the provider may set access requirements for its delivery model.
How can you use this information?
Ask whether you need employment, a workplace, other participants or particular records. Check the conditions for your electives as well as the core units. Do not treat the absence of a national hour total as proof that the course can be completed without practical work.
What should you compare?
- Exact qualification and unit evidence
- Your practical access and support
- Written conditions and unanswered questions
What remains unconfirmed?
The national evidence requirement is checked; the provider task design, participants, tools and accepted evidence are not known.
