We have a revision app available to learners to promote accessible learning as well as an app which can be downloaded to view course material.

As with our Level 2 course, on completion of the course, learners will liaise with their mentors regarding their readiness for the exam. Those learners who have passed the 4 compulsory past papers will be encouraged to sit the final exam, and a date will be set to complete the exam online using our remote proctoring software. This software offers greater flexibility to learners by allowing exams to be sat at a location and a time of their choosing. If learners are deemed not ready to sit the exam, we will provide additional revision material and support to increase knowledge further and will then reassess exam readiness.
