  • I have just completed the course with Distinction. The resources were excellent although you do need the paper version and I think it should be included in the initial cost. I would have liked to have had an email from someone to check that I was getting on ok as I decided not to submit the questions but it would have been nice to know that someone was still thinking of me.

COURSE ASSESSMENT

This course is marked through a process of continuous assessment guided by your tutor following ABC Awards guidelines. This means that your qualification will be awarded according to your performance on assessments rather than by taking an exam.

Upon verification of the activities, exercises and assignments, a nationally recognised certificate will be awarded by ABC Awards as confirmation that your written work has met all of the learning outcomes and assessment criteria for the programme.

COURSE DURATION

We recommended you spend approximately 200 hours of your time studying for the child care Diploma. The pace of study is completely up to you. To give an example, if you dedicate 4 hours a week to the course it would take you a year to complete but if you could spare 8 hours a week you could complete it in six months.
