Cambridge Nationals Enterprise and Marketing: There is a new assignment brief and grading criteria, do I need to stop using the Progress Ahead assignments?

To ensure you have adequate time to plan for the delivery of any changes there will be three options available to you:

1. Use the new “Perfecta Pizza” assignments with the new grading criteria.
2. Continue using the existing set assignment for “Progress Ahead” and apply the new grading criteria.
3. Continue using the existing set assignment and grading criteria for “Progress Ahead”. This will be available for use until March 2022.

When working with your moderator the Unit Recording Sheet will have an option box so that you can indicate which of the assignments and grading criteria you are assessing candidate work against.

Can we submit the legacy version of "Progress Ahead" in June 2022?

If your students have complete the legacy version of "Progress Ahead" before March 2022, you can submit the assignment in the June 2022 series.

We strongly recommend using the either the updated version of Progress Ahead with the new grading criteria or the new Perfect Pizza assignments with any students that have not yet started assessment. The  new assignments make the grading criteria more explicit and easier to understand.

Can we use "Progress Ahead" for R065 and "Perfect Pizza" for R066?

No, R066 asks the student to prepare a pitch based on the proposal created for R065 so you must use Progress Ahead or Perfect Pizza for both R065 and R066.

Can we continue using "Progress Ahead" if we prefer that scenario?

Yes, you can continue using Progress Ahead but should use the updated version added to the website in September 2020 for any new students (as the legacy version must be completed by March 2022 and cannot be submitted after June 2022)
