4 days plus 12 hours course work.

Guided Learning Hours

The credit value of a qualification can be used to determine how long it will take a learner to achieve as one credit corresponds to 10 hours of learning. These hours are made up of contact time with a teacher/assessor, referred to as guided learning hours (GLH), and non-contact time for study and assessment activities.

Assessment:

These qualifications are assessed through activities which are developed by the centre, internally marked and sampled as part of quality assurance/ internal verification procedures.

All learning outcomes must be met to achieve a Pass. There is no grading.

Delivery and Initial Assessment

To start of the course initial assessment will be prior conducted. The initial assessment will be used to inform a teacher/trainer as to the level of the learner’s current knowledge and/or skills.

Results and Certification

Results and certificates will be issued to centres once they have undertaken the required internal quality assurance procedures and have undergone the external quality assurance activities necessary for each qualification too.
