4. Six-week online course


The course has been carefully structured into a six-week
programme that breaks up the 16 tasks (listed in 1 above)
and associated qualifying criteria required for the exam
into small, manageable portions. During the programme,
students will view video recordings on some of the
important concepts relevant to those tasks, cover sections
of the study material, and actively engage in their learning
and preparation by completing multiple self-assessment
quizzes that provide feedback to assist in identifying that
week’s problem and further areas for development. The
course focuses on both the content required in terms of
each of the tasks and on examination techniques, i.e. the
approach to answering multiple choice questions.

This online course provides all study material in electronic


format; however, students can order a printed and bound
copy from Milpark Education.
