We suggest you
read through your course as though you were reading a book, to get the feel for
your chosen subject. Once you have completed the read through start back at the
beginning and work through the course at a pace to suit your requirements.
Try and plan a
time during your day that you set aside for your studies, choose a quiet and
comfortable place and make sure you tell the people you live with, or work
with, know that this is your “quality study time.”
Never try to
do more than 45 minutes at any one time, take a break and have a cup of tea
between your study periods.
Being a
distance learning student, you should be planning to spend between 5 and 7
hours a week on your course, if you are in full time employment and have a
family or social life.
Take your
time; rushing a course to just get a certificate is not the way to proceed, we
are here to help you improve your skills and knowledge in your chosen field.
When you
submit your assignments, please take care and read all the questions, do not
rush your answers, and present your work in a clean, tidy and precise manner.
Remember, if
you had to submit a report in a business, you would not have scratching outs or
missing answers to questions.
If English is
not your first language, or you have any form of disability which might hamper
your studies, please let us know and we can take this into consideration when
your assignments come in for marking.
