Our courses are broken up into 2 parts. The first part of this course will run for 12 weeks during the autumn term (September to December). During this time, we expect excellent attendance, good punctuality, and regular submission of homework.

You will have an in-class assessment in week 12 and this will help us to determine whether you have understood the topics covered and if you are ready to progress to part 2. The result will also help us to select learners for the foundation or higher examination.

Your suitability for this course will be discussed with you at one of our July, August, or September assessment and information sessions.

Your suitability for this course will be discussed with you at one of our July, August, or September information sessions and we will provide you with advice and guidance based on your needs and career goals during assessment and once you start your course.
