We provide short quizzes after each module to embed learning. These do not count towards student grades for the Diploma.
A score is awarded based entirely on a student’s performance in the final exam. The pass rate is 50%, Merit is 65% and Distinction is 85%.
Final exams are completed online, using Cirrus – a renowned and secure testing platform used by international education institutions. The exam lasts two hours. Students are given an assigned week in which to sit the exam and the exam must be taken in a single sitting.
Once students have sat a final exam, the Exam Board will meet to review responses and scoring. These scores will then be shared with the student by the Faculty Director in the time indicated.
On successful completion, the Diploma will be awarded by the Institute. We have three levels: Pass, Merit and Distinction.
