Workplace Portfolio of Evidence
All courses require completion of a Workplace Portfolio of Evidence. This is completed by the learner in real time, undertaking the practical aspects of the programme of study. They must nominate a suitable workplace supervisor to observe, assist and feedback on their performance. All practical evidence should then be collated and presented for assessment via the online portfolio system.
Our online platform is easy to use, established and straightforward. All users will be provided with full orientation prior to commencing course delivery. Our platform takes the learner journey from enrolment to certification in one accessible, fully auditable process.
Accredited Courses
Level 4
Delivered at Level 4, our programmes in Paediatric Nursing, Special Care and Advanced Oral Health Practice require the learner to undertake more research, critical thinking and investigation into the topics they will cover. This is beneficial to anyone considering university. The full remit of academic writing is encouraged on these programmes and both learners and course providers who are inexperienced in this area will be supported fully to achieve their aims.
Final Examination
All Level 3 and 4 courses carry a final written examination. To ensure this examination is conducted fairly, we undertake the process via remote invigilation. All learners are observed in real time as they carry out the examination online. Our strict entry requirements and exam day protocols ensure all learners are provided with the best opportunity to succeed and remove the possibility of dishonesty. This serves to promote confidence in the learners’ achievements.
Students with special educational needs who require support through the examination can access additional services such as the assistance of a reader, or extra time allowance.
