How do the assessments work?

Assignments are open book and a combination of multi-choice, short answer questions and case studies. Once you’ve completed your assessment, simply upload it for marking. Your tutor will review and mark your assignments, usually within two working days.

How does online learning work?

Your course will be delivered by Totora. You can access Totora from any web browser so you can work whenever and where ever you have time. You can also interact with your tutors and other students in the Moodle environment. Online learning allows you to make the best use of your time and puts all the resources you need at your finger tips. There are no set course start dates, you can start when ever you are ready.

Your tutors will check in on your progress and you do need to set up time to do your work. Most of The Career Academy courses are designed so that you do one module a week. But if life gets busy you can take longer, or if you have time you can do more than one module a week.

Can I complete the course via correspondence or can you print the course notes out for me?

Yes – simply select this upgrade option when you enrol and we will send you printed course notes. You will still need to submit your assignments online via Moodle. There is a fee for printing your course notes. Call a course advisor on 01 437 8559
