This course comprises of several parts. For each part you will undertake a variety of lessons and for some of these you will be asked to submit answers at the end.
To start the qualification, click the link below (Get Started), and you will be taken to your first lesson.
We require you to complete the Introduction lessons first. We want you to watch an introduction video about the Level 4 qualification, and then complete the questions and our centre forms which form part of your portfolio. Then we need you to watch the video explaining how to upload your work.
Once you have completed Lesson 1, we recommend you do Lesson 2 next. Following that you can do the remaining lessons in Part 1 in any order you wish. Just click on that lesson on the navigation bar on the right-hand side of your screen.
You can submit a whole lesson at a time, you don’t need to do them sequentially. The system won’t allow you to submit parts of a lesson, so you will need to attempt all the questions in a section. Most written answers require a minimum of 200 words although for some you may need to write more to cover in enough depth.
When you have uploaded your assignments, your assessor will receive notification and grade your work, and where necessary give guidance in order that you may complete it.
Please allow 5 working days for your assessor to complete your assessment, but we do try and reply within a shorter timeframe if commitments allow.
If you have any questions, please contact your assessor who will be pleased to help.
Once you have successfully completed all the parts of your qualification, we may submit your work to our internal quality assurer and in some instances also let City & Guilds look at your portfolio. Once that is completed, we can request your certificate from City & Guilds. In most instances you will be provided with an e-certificate which you can print off at home or work, followed by a hard copy which will be sent to you by post.
