Standard vs Fast Track explained
Standard – Our standard pathway is perfect for those wanting a more self-paced study programme without the commitment to scheduled assignment hand-in dates. You will be allocated a personal tutor who will contact you to arrange an onboarding call following your course purchase. They will then be available to you throughout your study programme whenever you need them.
Fast track – If you need to complete your course and gain your qualification as soon as possible, then our fast-track option offers you the opportunity to do just that. Following your course purchase you will be allocated a tutor who will make contact to arrange an onboarding call. You will then, between you, devise an assessment plan and clearly outline your assignment submission dates. You will have scheduled appointments with your tutor throughout your course to ensure you have a clear guidance and support pathway. Your tutor will be available to you via phone and email whenever you need them.

You will have unit assignment hand-in dates every 5- 7 weeks.
