Here is a sample of some of the projects done by former 4th year pupils...

You can pass this course at three levels:

 

Credit: Grade 1,2

 

General: Grade 3,4

 

Foundation: Grade 5,6

 

You need a Credit level pass to do the Higher course. We do not offer Higher Craft and Design (Product Design) at present as a course choice. It may be available next year. Any Higher will help you get a place at College or University, even in non - Technical Courses!
