This assessment will be completed remotely and candidates will have 1 month in which to complete it. Candidates will be required to carry out a piece of research on a security related subject and complete an assessment in the form of a report. This assessment determines that candidates have reached the academic level required to study at level 5. This assignment will be assessed by the Business School of Leeds City College.
2. Residential course. This 20 day intensive residential workshop will be taught at the Control Risks training school in Shropshire. The workshop will provide candidates with the necessary practical and academic skills required in the security industry and the knowledge to prepare them to complete the final assessment at level 5. During this period there will be a break from the main curriculum to concentrate on the IOSH Managing Safety Course. Before attendance on the residential workshop candidates will be sent some self study pre course preparation guidelines.
3. Distance learning assignment. A written assignment (level 5 assessment) will be given to candidates on the last day of the residential course to complete over the following year. This will be based on preparatory work carried out during the residential workshop. This will cover various learning outcomes from the course and will assess candidates understanding and knowledge of the course material. This assignment will be assessed by the Business School of Leeds City College.
