- How long does it take to complete a course?
It depends entirely upon the time a student can allocate to complete the coursework. In other words, the course is student-paced. There are no time limits or pressures to complete your course material. On average a student will take anything from one to three hours of work per lesson. But remember you still need to complete the question paper.
- How am I assessed throughout the course?
By means of assessments that need to be completed after each lesson and submitted to your tutor for marking via e-mail. This enables your tutor to monitor your ongoing progress. Some assessments are made online, with immediate feedback response. At the end of the course there is a final exam which is also completed from home so you need never leave the comfort of your house.
- What form do the tests/assessments take?
They vary from true/false, a single word, a single paragraph, to a couple of paragraphs.
- How do students submit test papers to the college for assessment?
Every time you submit a test paper for marking we acknowledge receipt thereof. We then pass it on to the tutors for marking and students normally get feedback from the tutor within one to two working days. In the meantime you are welcome to continue with your other lessons. Test papers are submitted via e-mail to your tutor.
- Do students obtain a qualification once the course is completed?
Once you have successfully completed your final exam the College or Institution that provides the course awards you your qualification. These colleges are recognised by various associations and you will therefore be able to apply for membership to these on the basis of your qualification.
- Do I need to attend any classes?
No, all the courses are specially designed to be taken in the comfort of your own home. However, our dedicated team of tutors is always available to deal with any queries you may have.
- How difficult are the courses likely to be?
Since the courses are written and structured especially for study at home you’ll find the course material is written in a clear and easy to understand format.
- Can I contact other students?
Yes, each course provides you with the opportunity to enter a student forum. The forum is the place for students to share their thoughts and information with each other.
- What happens if I need help?
Help is always on hand. Simply e-mail your tutor and your query will be dealt with promptly.
- Do I need any additional study material once I have enrolled?
No, all the courses are complete, but students are encouraged to do further reading.
- Where can additional study resources be found?
The Internet and local libraries normally provide a large source, but students can always contact their tutor for additional sources. Students also have access to the elearn LIBRARY which is a collection of reference materials, links to e-journals, and reading lists compiled by our tutors, and NEWS ZONE which contains regularly updated links to the latest news items.
- When do the courses start?
As there are no specific term times students can enrol at any time of the year.
- Are any previous qualifications required to enrol on a course?
No, courses are open to all.
- Are there any further costs involved?
No, once the course has been paid for there are no further costs involved.
- Can I do more than one course at a time?
Yes, this is possible and you will find that it creates a steady flow of work for the student. Many of the courses are very complementary to each other and work well together. Students start with one course and very quickly find how easy it is to study from home and move on to the next.
- Can I enrol from anywhere in the world?
Absolutely. The courses and programmes we offer are available to students worldwide. They cross all geographical boundaries and require no previous knowledge from the student.
- How do I know which course will be most beneficial to me?
You are welcome to contact the College and discuss this with the admissions staff.
- How do I enrol?
Easy: just click on the ENROL button. The process takes a few minutes when using a credit or debit card.
19.Can I transfer your classes’ credits?
The majority of our students use our courses for credits at a University. We always strongly recommend that our students contact the admissions department of the University they are hoping to apply to, and confirm that they are willing to accept our diploma as sufficient prerequisite for credits.
- Can I be issued with a full transcript on completion of my class?
We are willing to provide you with a full transcript once you have completed your course to aid your requirements for credits.
If you have any further questions, please contact the College where the administration team will be delighted to advise you on any other aspects of your study.
