How will my progress be monitored?
Your tutor will monitor your progress in partnership with you and you have the support you need to achieve success. It is not always about being first in your exams or always being top of the class, it is about understanding what you are learning and being able to apply it to the best of your ability. That’s what your tutor will help you with.
How will I be assessed?
There is one online exam for each of the mandatory modules. If you don’t make the pass mark, then you are able to resit the exam at a later date. Prior to each exam, your tutor will set you mock exams, so you are confident and prepared for the real thing.
How much will I have to study each week?
You will need to spend at least the same amount of time outside class on your studies as you do in college. Maybe more near your exam. It is a bi commitment but worth the effort.
