Had a discussion with Claire Green (Industry placement WKC) about her visit to LaRetraite. It looks as though LaRetraite built a room that felt more like an office and spent the capital on software.

This confirms my initial appraisal of the Pearson specification. That it is more software focussed and not lots of hardware required.

# data[].attributes.body
Points arising.

No assessment of the placement required.

Programming not as in depth as the spec suggests.

If they fail one exam, they must retake both.

Middlesborough run the 2 year course as follows:

1st year = All 8 core units with 2 exams and the Employer Set Project.

2nd Year = Occupational Specialism

Employer Set Project was taught as a separate lesson

Occ Spec requires Back End and Front End dev.

Industry placement can be broad. Middlesborough have placements in social media companies.

When it's a K, they just need to understand it. When it's a P, they need to be able to do it.

Occ Spec teaching starts in Year 2 and finished in Feb. They are then taking the project exam. I assume it's like the Applied General, but need to clarify.

Placement start from April of the 1st year. Two days a week based on industry requests. 3 days of teaching with coding on a Monday.

Notes from Session

Host gave overview of job roles at John Lewis for software development.

Described functional vs non functional.

They use the word 'Product' to describe any digital system created.

Heavy emphasis on pre development strategy.

John Lewis break down their products into micro services. They adhere to the 'agile' methodology.

Domain Driven Design (Where should a function live)

Wardley mapping = value decision making on whether or not to buy a product/service or build it or customise it.

Design your tests first.

Recommended languages
Python, Java, Javascript, Node, React, HTML, CSS

Need to understand platform services like AWS.

They prefer co-location offices. They want white boards and places to stick up notes.

A node to Arduino. Especially as it can be good to show practical direct changes from code changes. Do we invest through capital?

IDE and Debuggers (Python heavy IDLE) (VS Code) (Modules = NumPy, Pandas, Tkinter, MatPlotLib) Basic use of modules.
Testing Tools
Code Repositories
Screencasting and Video Editing (for Occ Spec and demonstrating their solution)

Students will need to install modules. So check they can run in user space.

Occ Spec Details:
Beware language spawning.
Not related to their work placement.
Must develop a complete technical response to a challenge. We should look at the most small scale solutions possible. Likely to need Azure instances with sandboxed networks.
Deliver Project Management to help them with the Employer Set Project and Occ Spec Project.

Occ Spec Assessment starts in Feb of Year 2. So teaching ends end of Jan Year 2.

Occ Spec Task is prescribed.

Occ Spec Exam Conditions are Low.
They do remove phones. But they do respond to questions.

They did a 10 minute entry activity on revising the core exam knowledge.

They used Coded feedback to speed up marking. And to keep them on track. Heavy on tracking. They felt it was necessary to track closely to ensure grades improved. They saw a marked improvement from Christmas mocks to April outcomes.
