But why does AQA continue to be so popular?  \n• Specifications  \nThese are designed to the highest standards so that teachers and students can be confident that an AQA award provides an accurate measure of what the student has achieved.  \n• Support  \nAQA provides free of charge standardisation meetings and online resources for Project qualifications and offers a wide range of CPD meetings both face to face and online. These support and training meetings explain the specification, suggest practical strategies to help students produce successful projects and help staff development in new roles.  \n• Service  \nWe are committed to providing an efficient and effective service and are at the end of the phone when you need to speak to someone about an important issue. We will always try to resolve issues the first time you contact us but, should that not be possible, we will come back to you (by telephone, e-mail or letter) and continue to work with you to find the solution.  \n• Ethics  \nAQA is a registered charity with no shareholders to pay. We exist solely for the good of education. Any surplus income is ploughed back into educational research and our service to you, our customers. We don’t profit from education, you do.  \nIf you are an existing AQA customer, we thank you foryour support. If you are new to AQA, then we look forward to welcoming you.  \nLevel 3 Extended Project Qualification Specification (version 1.4)  \n1.2 What is the Extended Project?  \nThe Extended Project is a Level 3 qualification first assessed in November 2008. Students may choose to take the Extended Project Qualification as an extension from studies for any other qualifications at Level 3 (GCE, BTEC, NVQ, other academic or vocational qualifications including Modern Apprenticeships)  \nThe Extended Project will develop and extend from one or more of the student’s study areas and/or from an area of personal interest or activity outside their main programme of study. It will be based on a topic chosen by the student(s) and agreed as appropriate by the centre.  \nDelivery of th","cbCaik3vJgd0i8ID","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaik3vJgd0i8ID","pdf",389908,"English","# 1 Introduction\n## 1.1 Why choose AQA?\n## 1.2 What is the Extended Project?\n## 1.3 What are the Learning Outcomes of the Extended Project Qualification?\n# 2 Teaching, Supervising and Assessing the Extended Project Qualification\n## 2.1 Aims\n## 2.2 The Taught Element of the Extended Project Qualification\n## 2.3 What is Project Process\n## 2.4 Assessing the Potential of a Proposal\n## 2.5 Assessing the Extended Project\n# 3 Administration\n## 3.1 Entries\n## 3.2 Private Candidates\n## 3.3 Access Arrangements and Special Consideration\n## 3.4 Safeguarding\n## 3.5 Language of the Assessment\n## 3.6 Awarding Grades and Reporting, Results\n## 3.7 Re-sits and Shelf-life of Results\n## 3.8 Supervision and Authentication of Coursework\n## 3.9 Malpractice\n# Appendices\n## A Grade Descriptions\n## B Spiritual, Moral, Ethical, Social, Cultural and other Issues\n## C Overlaps with other Qualifications","[{\"question\":\"What is the Extended Project Qualification and who can take it?\",\"answer\":\"The Extended Project is a Level 3 qualification first assessed in November 2008.
