The course contains a number of assignments on which your tutor will mark and give you valuable feedback. We call these "Tutor Marked Assignments" (TMAs). You need only send the TMAs to your tutor for comment, not the self-assessment exercises which are also part of the course and which help you gauge your progress.

Exams are taken at an AQA centre; we can provide an extensive list of centres for you.
