At Academy Online Learning, our Access to Higher Education (HE) Diplomas are assessed entirely through written assignments. There are no formal exams, offering a more flexible and accessible way to demonstrate your knowledge and academic skills.
Your written assignments may include:
- Essays
- Written questions and responses
- Presentations
- Reports
Each assignment is designed to assess specific learning outcomes related to your course modules. Assignments are allocated a credit value of either 3, 6, or 9 credits depending on their complexity and expected workload:
- 3-credit assignments: You are given 2 weeks to complete.
- 6-credit assignments: You are given 4 weeks to complete.
- 9-credit assignments: You are given 6 weeks to complete.
However, if you are able and wish to complete your assignments sooner than the allocated timeframes, you are welcome to do so. This means you can accelerate your progress through the course and potentially complete your Access to HE Diploma in a shorter period, depending on your personal schedule and commitment.
Our system of continuous assessment provides a supportive alternative to high-pressure examinations, allowing you to demonstrate your abilities steadily throughout the course. With full tutor feedback and guidance on each assignment, Academy Online Learning ensures that you have the support needed to succeed.
