How will I be taught?

The class will be a taught practical session of tutor demonstration and student practical assessment. At the end of each module you will complete a practice assessment before taking the live assessment.

How will I be assessed?

The Word Processing, Spreadsheets and Presentation modules are assessed by a task-based practical online test to be completed.

Assessments are usually taken when the learning for that module has been completed. The Improving Productivity Using IT module is assessed by a mixture of multiple choice questions and a task based practical test. A pass mark of 75% is required for both the multiple choice and practical test. The assessment for this module is taken at the end of the course.
