This course will be studied entirely via distance learning, meaning you will complete your learning either from home or a place that suits you.

Your course materials will include a series of self-assessment exercises and tutor-marked questions to allow both yourself and your tutor to monitor your progress.
You will pay a one-off registration fee for each level you study which will give you access to the qualification for its lifetime, which is typically four to five years. The membership fees for this bundle course are £45 for level 1 and £66 for level 2. Please note, you can break these costs down by paying for each level separately as and when you progress through the course.

The qualification is assessed through six tutor-marked assessments and three external exams, which you will complete at the end of your course.
