How do I learn?
For every unit you study you will be given access to its tailored learning materials: because they are written by us, you can be sure that they will teach you what you need to succeed on your assessments. They are more than a textbook - they guide you through your learning and support you so that you're fully prepared for each assessment. You will complete tasks, answer questions (with model answers that you can check), and will be given all the tools needed to achieve the highest grades possible.
How am I assessed?
You are assessed through tutor-assessed coursework throughout your course. Our assessments have been internally verified, meaning that they have been checked to make sure they are consistent, fair and robust. Importantly, they give everybody the same opportunities to succeed. Our internal verification process ensures that every tutor is marking, grading and giving formative and developmental feedback in line with our exacting standards.
What is on my Certificate?
If learning and knowledge are your top priority, details of these will be listed in full on your Certificate and you will have a portfolio of work to demonstrate this. If you need formal accrediation, you probably require Unit Accreditation. If you think this might be the case, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
You can create a course as long or as short as you like from any combination of the subjects below. You don't even need to decide how many to study at the beginning of the course, you can build onto your Certificate over a period of time. All Units are at Level 3 unless otherwise stated.

The support that our students receive is central to who we are and the service that we deliver.
Your tutor
Your tutor is both your personal and your subject specialist teacher. They were chosen for their expert subject knowledge and qualifications, and for their skills in supporting and motivating adults who may have been out of education for some time. They are there to guide your studies, and you will be in regular contact with them. Because they mark your assessments, they know how to help you to improve, develop and advance as you progress through the course.
Their role evolves over the course of your studies as your needs change. Initially you will speak to your tutor every week so you can get to know each other and settle into studying. As you progress through the course the support that you want from your tutor may change: one week you may want to talk about study skills, and the next about the ethics of research. Your tutor is there to make sure that your time with us is as successful and enjoyable as possible.
