This course is marked through a process of continuous assessment guided by your tutor following EDL guidelines. This means that your qualification will be awarded according to your performance on assessments rather than by taking an exam.

We send the full course out with the units listed above, you then read through the course in your own time and complete the assignments which you send to your tutor for marking. There is no word count for these assignments. However, one sentence answers will be rejected and you will have to re-submit it for marking.

Upon verification of the activities, exercises and assignments, a certificate of achievement will be awarded by eDistance Learning, as confirmation that your written work has met all of the learning outcomes and assessment criteria for the programme.
