At Intermediate level, the above subjects are studied in greater depth, with a focus on modern mechanical and electronic time-keeping devices. The syllabus is also broadened to include business and professional studies and computer-aided design. At Final level students study the design, production and servicing of all types of watches and clocks, including mechanical and electrical, through a series of lectures, demonstrations and practical workshop sessions.
Attendance is flexible but there is one day of theory each week.
Students are also expected to gain appropriate bench experience, preferably with craftsmen. Assessment Assessment is based mainly on the coursework resulting from projects. This is complemented by examinations set by the BHI at the end of each year. Entry Requirements See Standard Entry Requirements .
