| + | The course offers flexibility within the year in terms of unit completion. While students are encouraged to finish units roughly within a given month, some units are necessarily bigger than others and may take longer and we fully understand that life can get in the way at times which may mean that there are weeks when you may be catching up on your learning. However, the course must be fully completed within 10 weeks of the release of Units 11 and 12 (which are released together) in order to achieve your certificate of completion. | ||
| + | |||
| + | At the close of the course, students will have access to an archived version free of charge for one further year. That version will not contain interactive features such as glossaries, webinars or forums. It will include all the videos, slides, documents, pages and e-book material you would need to use for reference. | ||
