In line with standards 1,2 and 5 highlighted under your roles and responsibilities, there are only two things, you have to accomplish in order to achieve the qualification you have signed up for.
1)Evidence of learning.
2)Meet all the assessment criteria.
The two have equal value. You will not be signed off if you fail to achieve any of the two. Your quality of work should reflect the learning you have conducted. References might assist you to demonstrate the range of your research.
Etutor Alliance has embedded a number of opportunities to enable you to be successful and evidence learning. This includes the resources on this site, online forums, web conferences, learning logs, planners and our regular face to face support sessions. You will also have tutorials from your assessor to supplement the support available and your evidence of learning.
All our courses come with guided learning hours and total qualification time requirements. It is your responsibility to ensure you can demonstrate how you have met this requirement.
