Sometimes with the help of a tutor and maybe with the help of someone at home as well, you might feel more able to work on this sort of course. Prior to starting the course and on receipt of the first Set Work, your tutor will be happy to discuss with you (and/or your helper), ways to help you work on the course material. You may if you wish to send the first Set Work into your tutor for assessment and help. It doesn't matter if your spelling is not so good, neither does it matter if your writing is a bit difficult to read. Your tutor will do his or her best to assess the work to establish how much you have learnt and to ensure you are working as expected. The fee for this is £46 payable on enrolment at the time of choosing your course. How to Enrol
