When completed, these CATs make up a full unit of work and will be theory and prac based. You may use the booklet to complete the required work or you may present the work as a PowerPoint, Word Document, etc. Throughout the unit of work, you will follow the design process.

Throughout this unit of work you will gain knowledge, and develop your skills in the following: Researching a design Tools and their uses Researching and Investigating Sketching/Drawing/Designing Production Processes Analysing and Evaluating Risk Assessment Planning and time-management
