EPQ

The main aim of the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is to establish and develop skills that enhance student performance across all of their academic and technical qualifications, as well as preparing the students for the next stage of their educational career, either at university or an apprenticeship.

Key benefits of EPQ:

1. Develop and improve their independent research and study skills
2. Develop, improve and apply decision making and problem solving skills
3. Extend their planning, research, critical thinking, analysis, evaluation and presentation skills
4. Develop and apply skills creatively, demonstrating initiative and enterprise
5. Use their learning experiences to support their aspirations for further study and/or career development
6. Transfer the skills developed as part of the project to their other areas of study
