Employability/PDP/scholarship skills: Assessment 1 allows students to develop their team-working and communications skills. It is a group case study (3 students per group) designed to develop skills for the gathering, evaluation, analysis and presentation of a lending report and recommendation.
Assessment: Assessment 1 is marked as a case study report with 20% of the mark being allocated to presentation and structure and 80% to critical analysis and decision-making.This assessment is also peer marked. Assessment 2 is supervised, the examination centred on a critical understanding of theories and techniques relevant to the banker in their relationship with a business customer.
