How It Works.
On enrolment, we'll send your courseware with a study plan, explaining what you need to read and experiment with before your first tutorial.
Every week at the appointed time, you'll log on for an interactive tutorial with your mentor, following which you will be given your study workload for the coming week.
If there's anything you're unsure about, you have lots of time to practise and investigate or you can post an online question to your mentor for support, information and guidance.
The great thing is that, apart from your weekly tutorial, you can fit your studies and revision around your other commitments!
You're not tied down to a rigid timetable and if you need extra time to explore a learning point, there's no problem!
You will take frequent progress tests to ensure you fully understand the material you have been studying and when you have completed the programme, you'll take a mock test to ensure you are ready for your exam.
