The objective of part 2
This stage continues the introduction of the new subject areas, develops candidates' analytical skills and introduces candidates to the problems and situations that they will meet at work. Part 2 tests the application of the theory in the context of recognisable problems and conceptual understanding. It will consolidate knowledge of current principles, practices and techniques and begin to develop candidates' ability to criticise current practices. Questions will present practical scenarios requiring candidates to select the best answer from a range of available solutions in order to achieve the specified objective. The standard required of candidates completing Part 2 is that required in the final year of a UK degree.
