All of our students have access to their own personal tutor who is an experienced professional in their field of study. Your dedicated personal tutor is totally committed to helping you succeed and is always on hand to answer any query you may have, no matter how big or small.

Assessment procedures

Assessment is conducted via continual assessment by students completing a revision booklet at the end of the course module. This is then returned to their personal tutor for feedback.

When a student is happy and they have demonstrated their understanding they will be invited to apply to sit a formal theory examination and in some cases a practical assessment. On some of the courses, there may be a need to submit case studies in order to gain qualification.

It is intended that the assessment process for all of our courses is one which enables our students to demonstrate their understanding of the learning material and the practical application of concepts to the world of work.
