However the written work is not extensive and will often be in the form of worksheets based on issues discussed in class, or based on any practical exercises you have done either individually or as a group. You may also be given tasks by the tutor, which you will be asked to write up and present as an assignment.

Will there be any homework?
Homework may be set and you will be expected to do some research in your own time as part of any assignments you are given.

How long will the course take?
Half or one day a week for two years or as agreed with your school.

Where can this course lead me when I finish school?
