Programme Delivery

The programme consists of seven study units allowing students to focus
on working through specific areas in a logical order.

Each unit prepares students for specific exams by providing clear
guidance through the course materials combined with individual support from qualified mentors.

In order to maintain an efficient flow of information and to ensure that effective support can be offered, tests and mock exams are sent to students at key stages throughout the programme. This allows a student's progress to be monitored and logged on Computrain's student management system so that support can be provided where necessary.
