Level 3 Personal Development & Employability
13PDE Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Ms S. Quinnell.
This internally assessed course uses a combination of NCEA Level Three Generic and Industry Related Unit Standards. We have a set programme for the first part of the year and then develop each student's assessments as appropriate to their preferred future career for the remainder of the time. Whilst these credits are not university approved, they do contribute to NCEA Level Three, and help develop students' knowledge of work roles and responsibilities, as well as the skills required in the workplace.
