Course assessments - how you will be assessed
At the start of your course the tutor will find out a little more about you, your previous learning, the support you may need, what you would like to achieve on the course and guide you to set some personal goals. This is completed on-line using Microsoft Forms. Throughout the course you will be asked to reflect on your weekly learning and will receive feedback from your tutor on your progress and achievement. You will receive a personal certificate of achievement at the end of the course.
