AAQ Level 3 Applied Science Student Success Handbook

A complete student support resource designed specifically for Applied Science.

Help your students understand their qualification, stay organised and develop the skills they need to succeed throughout their two-year course.

The AAQ Level 3 Applied Science Student Success Handbook has been designed specifically for students studying the Pearson Level 3 Alternative Academic Qualification (AAQ) BTEC National in Applied Science Extended Certificate.

Rather than creating multiple student guides, checklists and support materials yourself, this comprehensive handbook brings essential information and practical student support together in one ready-to-use resource.

The handbook includes:

• Understanding the qualification

• How the two-year course works

• Course and assessment requirements

• Practical work expectations

• What students need to do to be successful

• Understanding grades

• The future: progression and career opportunities

• Plagiarism and AI guidance

• Command words

• What parents and carers need to know

Students will also benefit from assignment support, goal-setting activities, progress trackers, revision planners, submission checklists and practical guidance on what to do when they get stuck.
