Assessment
Assessment is generally on a pass/fail basis. The assessment criteria are described in the training programme description. Completions are recorded on a programme-by-programme basis as your studies progress.
Certificates
You will receive a certificate once you have successfully completed the training programme and your completion has been recorded. The type of certificate is indicated on the training programme’s introduction page. Certificates are delivered electronically.
Note: Certificates are not issued for short sales, marketing or information events.
If you do not accept electronic services: Inform the training programme secretary before the programme ends. You will then receive a paper copy of the electronic certificate by post.
