COURSE ASSESSMENT

This course is marked through a process of continuous assessment guided by your tutor following NCFE 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 the national awarding organisation NCFE, as confirmation that your written work has met all of the learning outcomes and assessment criteria for the programme.

COURSE DURATION

We recommended you spend approximately XXX hours of your time studying for the Writing Books & Stories course. The pace of study is completely up to you. To give an example, if you dedicate X hours a week to the course it would take you a year to complete but if you could spare X hours a week you could complete it in six months.

Get started today, and you can earn your Level 3 NCFE Award in Writing Books & Stories in as little as six months, or take up to a year, if you prefer – the choice is yours.

HOME STUDY ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

This course is openly available to anyone wishing to learn more about Writing Books & Stories and would like to take part in a highly rewarding home study course.
