Pre-exam preparation

Seven modules, delivered by video are released over a four week period giving you time to learn the principles of communications and share your experiences by participating in group discussions using the bulletin board.

A wealth of valuable knowledge can also be obtained in the facilitated sessions where you will have the opportunity to discuss any questions you may have on the modules.

Moving onto the exam

The exam assessment is made up of three sections all of which will be completed within the online application: on day one of the exam assessment you will complete the written paper and later create your PowerPoint slides; the following the day you will present your slides.
