1. How does Home Study via Distance Education work?

Once you have enrolled with us, you will receive instant access to your online course, you will also receive the name of your personal tutor at the College. At the end of each lesson you will find a question paper on the work that you have covered. Only when you feel ready, do you complete and return this to your personal tutor at the College. Your personal tutor then marks your paper and returns it to you with your feedback.

2. 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.

3. What form do the tests/assessments take?

They vary from true/false, a single word, a single paragraph, to a couple of paragraphs.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. What happens if I need help?

Help is always on hand. Simply e-mail your tutor and your query will be dealt with promptly.

10. Do I need any additional study material once I have enrolled?
