How will I be assessed?
Assessments will take place in the classroom when your tutor thinks you are ready to pass your current level.
Where is the course delivered? (facilities/classrooms)
Due to the continuing pandemic all classes will be delivered ONLINE. We appreciate that this style of learning does not suit everyone, and for some people it may not even be possible, but we have been offering online learning since September and it has worked really well. Classes will be delivered using Microsoft TEAMS and alongside the same great standard of teaching, students will also have regular one to one sessions with the tutor to ensure everyone is given the support they need. Feedback from existing students is that they have enjoyed the experience and the exam pass rate has been excellent.
Where will this course take me?
