The Pearson Edexcel Level 3 Advanced GCE in German consists of two externally-examined papers at the end of year 13 assessing listening, reading and writing and a non-examined speaking assessment, during which students discuss their findings from an independent research project. Students are taught three lessons a week by teacher one, and two lessons a week by teacher two. Students also benefit from an independent study session each week, where they are supported by a native foreign language assistant.
