Course Rationales and Summaries Published

Draft Course Rationale and Summary documents for National 4 and National 5 are now available to view.

These documents represent the latest stage of the qualifications development process and outline the proposed content for the new qualifications and their aims and purposes.

The Course Rationales identify the skills and knowledge learners will develop.

The Course Summaries detail how Courses will be structured. They provide a brief description of each Unit in the Course and what is required to pass the Course.

At each stage of the qualifications development process, we are publishing draft documents on our website in an open and transparent way to show the thinking at each stage and to provide the opportunity to give feedback.

These documents follow the Overview of Qualifications Reports which outlined the Suites of Courses – the subjects, levels and types of qualification – which we would develop.

We welcome your feedback on the draft Course Rationales and Summaries by 31 March 2011.
