Yes, you can potentially use Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for the units you've already completed. This can help you save time and effort by not having to repeat what you've already mastered.

Ideally you will have access to 2 learners that can help facilitate your assessments. We can offer access to our learners under the guidance of our assessors to complete your assessments with real learners. You would attend our assessment days which are held every other month. 

You cannot simulate assessments so you need access to learners. We can help to facilitate this with a small number of learners being able to work with an assessor with live learners through our range of teaching, assessing and IQA courses. 

You will have 12-months from the purchase date to complete your course. Should you run over this time, you may be able to apply for special dispensation to extend this time by an additional 3-months or alternatively it is an additional cost of £69 to extend it for a further year. Please note extensions are subject to current qualification requirements and may not always be possible. 

You cannot simulate assessments so you need access to learners. We don't promise this but may have some learners available for your assessments but is not a guarantee as it depends on your subjects. Ideally you already work in an environment where you can access 2x learners. If not, you should complete the Level 3 Award in Understanding the Principles and Practices of Assessment as this will allow you to start assessing and then you can gain the additional units after when you are working.
