All your lessons and assessments are available on CloudPort, our Moodle-based learning environment (most colleges and universities in the UK use Moodle VLEs).

You can start with Lesson 1 and progress through the course in a linear manner or jump directly to the section you need. Our learning approach is entirely flexible, allowing you to tailor your study plan according to the skills you want to develop.

You can submit assessments as you work through the course and receive instant results and feedback on activities to track your progress. Use these assessments as launchpads for your learning, helping you to concentrate on the topics that require more attention.

You will have access to all course materials, assessments, and tutor support for 12 months from the date of enrollment. Extensions are available for students who wish to study over a longer period.

You are not alone! You will be assigned a personal 1:1 tutor on your day of enrolment. Your tutor will remain by your side, throughout your learning journey until you get qualified. Students can communicate with their tutor in real time using the online messaging system. Student queries are answered within 1 working day. When support is delivered online ALL queries and responses are recorded in your profile so that you can refer back whenever required. This is particularly useful during revision periods.

All tutors are qualified teachers and subject matter specialists who will ensure you have the correct guidance and support when you need it. As a CloudLearn student, you will have unlimited access to tutor support.

CloudLearn courses are structured around formative assessments allowing you to test your knowledge as you work towards qualification. Before taking your exam you will submit a mock exam to give you the practise you need before the big day.

When ready we arrange your exam. We have agreements with exam centres all over the UK. Our students also take advantage of preferential pricing due to the volume of students we channel to exam centres.

As part of your enrolment service package we will make all the arrangements for your final exam. This includes locating a centre and booking the relevant exam/s. Exam fees are additional.

Exams fees can be added to your course when you build your Study Plan. Have a look on our Exams Page for a detailed explanation of this service.
