Introduction to Level 2 Higher Project Qualification

 Level 2 Higher Project Qualification specification

By offering the Higher qualification to your students, they can discover the joys of independent learning, take responsibility for their own study and develop new life and study skills.

If you want to push bright students beyond the requirements of their mainstream subjects, the Higher Project gives them a focused structure in which to deepen their knowledge in a particular field. 

The Higher Project can be offered alongside other level 2 or level 3 qualifications (including vocational qualifications), as a stand‑alone qualification or as a compulsory element of Level 2 Diploma. You could use the Higher Project as part of a Gifted and Talented programme or to provide students who are struggling with the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), with the option to be assessed at level 2.

Our specification is designed to provide a clear structure within which all learners can:

• develop transferable and core skills to apply in a future workplace, apprenticeship or further study
• become inquisitive and independent learners
• experience new areas and methods of study, including how to plan and review their progress
• if needed, use ICT and appropriate technologies with confidence.
