Course Duration & Support:
Students may register at any time and have a full year to complete their studies. You also have access to a personal tutor by mail or email for a 12 month period. As the course is self study you can complete in as little or as long a time as you prefer.
Assessment:
Students are required to compile a portfolio of evidence which demonstrates their learning against each of the assessment criteria of the course. Portfolios are assessed by a tutor. Some portfolio evidence will need to be witnessed in the workplace hence students must arrange and complete a work experience placement.
Each level of qualification contains the same learning unit but the learning outcomes of level 3 require a higher level of evidence to reflect the higher level accreditation.
Qualification:
The qualification is gained from a successfully completed portfolio so there is no exam to complete.

These awards have been accredited on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). The Level 2 qualification is equivalent to GCSE or NVQ Level 2 and the Level 3 qualification is equivalent to A Level or NVQ Level 3. |
