MentOR handbook


course length

Each course we deliver has a set enrolment period for the student to complete it. Most of our qualification course durations are between 1 and 2 years. The Course Handbook states the particular enrolment period, which starts the day we set the student up.

Students must ensure that all assignments, including resubmissions, are submitted before the course enrolment period expires, allowing time for marking and resubmissions.

We strongly suggest they hand in the last assessment at least 6 weeks prior to expiring. This allows for marking time and time for resubmissions if required.

All our courses are delivered self paced – this means there are no due dates for particular subjects or assessments. We have discovered over the years that this is what students prefer. After all, everyone needs a good work/life/study balance to be successful! This does mean that STUDENTS are responsible for setting a study schedule enabling them to complete the course in time. In the front of every learner’s guide, students will find a suggested schedule for that subject. Following these will mean students will finish before expiring. It might seem daunting, but the courses are possible to complete before expiry.

We are more than happy to offer enrolment extensions as the overall enrolment period draws to an end, if the student has been submitting work regularly. There is a fee involved to cover the software licensing fees that we pay, and the fee will differ depending on the period of the extension requested – 1, 3 , 6 or 12 months.
