The Learner Journey
What happens after I return my enrolment form?
An email will be sent to you when your form has been received and registered on our system. We will then call you and go through an eligibility check over the phone to confirm your eligibility to study and to complete the enrolment process.

Starting your course
Once you have completed your eligibility check you will receive your username and password via email within 7 days. You can then begin your course.

Your course induction
When you log on, the first thing you will be asked to complete is an online induction. You should complete your induction no later than 7 days after you receive your username and password via email. You may be withdrawn from the course if you do not complete your induction. Your course deadlines will then be activated and will appear in your action plan.

Course deadlines
The course requires a minimum of 10 hours per week study time. Your first Unit
Assessment will be due no later than 2 weeks after completing your induction. If you do not submit Assessments and complete the course within the timeframes outlined in your action plan you may be withdrawn and charged an administration fee. Please get in touch if you are unable to meet your deadlines before the assessment due date, as we may be able to grant you a short extension.

About the course materials and Assessments
All course materials for each Unit can be found on the vision2learn platform. The
Assessment questions follow the same sequence as the course materials and are not timed examinations. All Assessments can be found on the last page of the last session in each Unit. These should be downloaded to your PC, then completed and sent to your tutor by each deadline date directly via the course menu and the assessment links on the ‘My study’ page.

Your tutor and course support
Throughout your studies you will be assigned to a dedicated online tutor, who will be available to help with any queries you may have via the v-mail system on the vision2learn platform. Any v-mails will be responded to within 2 working days and Assessment feedback will be given within 5 working days.

Further information
If you require any further support, vision2learn has a dedicated student support line and a web chat service open to all learners. The opening hours for this service are 8am–8pm
Monday to Thursday, and 9am–5pm Friday. The number to call is 0191 215 4100.

Completing your course
Please note that your work will be subject to both internal and external moderation after your tutor has marked it as a pass. It is important that you regularly log in and check your learning platform after completion to ensure you have no moderation actions to complete.
Once you have successfully passed moderation you should receive your certificate within approximately 12 weeks. If your certificate has not arrived after this point, please get in touch with vision2learn by calling 0191 215 4100.
