|
| How
is the course taught? |
|
| You
work from a manual and the learning material is designed for you to work
at your own pace. Each part of the package is structured to take you
through each procedure step by step, with illustrations to help you and
worked examples of the exercises. You will get plenty of ‘hands-on’
experience and practice material to prepare you for the examination. If you need help at any time the tutor is available by e-mail or telephone and if you are really stuck then a one-to-one session can be arranged. |
|
| How
is your learning assessed? |
|
| As
you work through the module you will be constantly building on knowledge
gained in previous sections. It is very important that you work at a
pace that suits you, so if you don’t feel very confident at the end of
a particular section then you are free to go back and repeat it. There
are worked examples included in the module so that you can check your
work as you go and at the end of the module there are 3 practice self
assessments and 3 assessments which will be marked by the tutor. Whenever you feel ready to take them, all the assessments
are available at the centre. |
|
| How
long will the course take? |
|
| This
depends on how fast you want to work through the materials - you set
your own deadlines at the beginning of the course with help from a
tutor. The design of the
course materials makes it possible to start a course at any time through
the year and choose the times you want to study, within the opening
times of our centres. (Estimated
hours to complete 60 hours per level ) |

are the entry requirements? |
