Do young people have to study the Diploma in Manufacturing and Product Design at Foundation level before moving on to study at Higher and then Advanced level?
Each level of the Diploma in MPD is separate and young people can choose the level they study at depending on their age and previous qualifications. Students also have the option to switch between different types of qualifications. For example, students could choose to take the Diploma in MPD at Higher level between the ages of 14 to 16 and then progress on to do A-levels or an Apprenticeship. Alternatively, they may do GCSEs then follow the Diploma in MPD at Advanced level when they are 16 years old.
