It provides an opportunity for learners to extend their abilities beyond their sixth form course of study, stand out and prepare for university or their future career.  \nLearners will independently plan and carry out research on a topic that they’ve chosen and isn’t covered by their other qualifications. They can take inspiration from something touched on in class or something personal and unrelated to their studies. They then use this research to produce an academic written report or, in the case of practical projects, an artefact or a production with accompanying report.  \nOur support package includes Project Q, the complete student management system, which we’re proud to offer free to AQA customers.  \nProject Q  \nProject Q provides tailored workflow tools that simplify the administration of Project qualifications, and is free to AQA customers.  \n• Delivers real-time interaction of learners’ EPQ progress  \n• Compiles the information required for submission of learners’ assessment evidence  \n• Reflects the production log, and supervisors can lock sections when complete, removing the risk of retrospective completion of the log  \n• Course resource section is a place for coordinators and supervisors to share files and resources, useful for Taught Skills materials  \n• Features such as a journal and files area can be useful to learners to demonstrate the development of their project – also useful when completing reflections  \n• Can help raise engagement, retention and achievement.  \n© 2023 AQA 3  \n Key benefits  \n Suitable for all learners  \n Builds life experience and increases confidence  \n Up to 29% increased chance of achieving A-level A*–B when studying for an EPQ at the same time (Jones, B: 2015)  \n Develops study skills  \n Easy access to a range of online learning resources from leading universities  Boosts UCAS points  \n Provides key skills for the workplace  \n© 2023 AQA 4  \nSpecification at a glance  \nAbout our EPQ  \nThe Extended Project is a Level 3 qualification, first assessed in November 2008. It can contribute to programmes of study as a standalone qualification. Students may choose to take the EPQ as an extension from studies for any other qualifications at Level 3.  \nDelivery of the EPQ will involve some teaching of the necessary skills, supervision and assessment of the learner’s progress. It requires 120 guided learning hours and extended autonomous work by the learner.  \nStudents are required, with appropriate supervision, to:  \n• choose an area of interest  \n• draft a title and aims of the project for formal approval by the centre  \n• plan, research and carry out the project  \n• deliver a presentation to a non specialist audience  \n• provide evidence of all stages of project development and production for assessment.  \n© 2023 AQA 5  \nAbout our EPQ  \nGuided learning hours  \nThe Taught Skills element requires 30 guided learning hours, maximising time for independent learning. This is approximately a quarter of the overall time for the EPQ.  \nAssessment  \nOur EPQ has only one comprehensive mark scheme that can be applied to any type of project. This ensures comparability and gives you the confidence to mark each project fairly.  \nProduction log  \nOur Production log is the most supportive framework for your learners to complete their projects. It has a clear structure that supports learners to meet university expectations for creative projects, scientific investigationsand practical EPQs.  \nProduction log administration is minimal-we’ve stripped out the unnecessary ad","cbCaitdRymQdkjoB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitdRymQdkjoB","pdf",798916,14,"English","# Why choose AQA?\n## Our Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)\n# Key benefits\n# Specification at a glance\n## About our EPQ\n# Our support offer\n## Resources\n## Teacher support\n## Projects community\n## Centre Services\n## Project Q","[{\"question\":\"What is the AQA Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) intended to do?\",\"answer\":\"The EPQ gives learners the chance to extend abilities beyond sixth form study, stand out, and prepare for university or future careers through independent research or practical projects.\"},{\"question\":\"What do learners need to do to complete an EPQ?\",\"answer\":\"Learners choose an area of interest, get a project title and aims approved by the centre, plan and carry out the project, deliver a presentation to a non-specialist audience, and provide evidence for assessment of all development stages.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the support package, including Project Q and the production log, help students?\",\"answer\":\"Project Q provides tailored workflow tools and real-time tracking of EPQ progress, while the production log offers a supportive structure that helps students meet university expectations and reduces the risk of retrospective log completion.\"}]","Switching pack - Extended Project Qualification | PDF",1792465471,35]
