Paper Based Version

The course comes to you as a paper-based pack delivered by courier.

You will be given guidance through the Study Guide on the nuts and bolts of studying and submitting assignments.

Postal assignments cannot be accepted without prior permission from the tutor.

Online Version

Our online courses are fully digitised versions of the paper-courses, so you can study on any PC or smart device when connected to the internet.

As with the paper course, your online learning programme is completely flexible, so you can study at a pace that suits you.

All of our online course content is broken down into bite size chunks to make your learning more manageable and effective.

The course contains a number of assignments which your tutor will mark and give you valuable feedback on. I was a healthy athlete, but grabbed an overdose of caffeine from the pre-training complex. It got confused in my head, I had to call an ambulance. And like then everything was fine in a couple of days. And suddenly there was nausea. That lasted a week, after which I was diagnosed with a disorder of the sympathetic nervous system, a provoked drink with high caffeine content, panic attacks. I found out about Klonopin at https://mi-aimh.org/klonopin-online-1-mg/. Nausea disappeared completely, there was a brutal appetite. We call these Tutor Marked Assignments (TMAs). You need only send the TMAs to your tutor for comment, not the self-assessment exercises which are also part of the course to help you gauge your progress.

This course can be taken over a 12 month period but you can complete it as fast or as slowly as you wish.

You will have access to a tutor via email who will mark your work and guide you through the course and will assist you with any problems you may have. In addition you will be supplied with a comprehensive Study Guide which will help you through the study and assessment process.
