Our professional CILT and IWFM courses have one assessment per unit. Each assessment is via a written assignment. These assignments are completed in your own time. All units need to be completed within the registration period with the awarding organisation. The number of units to be completed depend on the qualification and is between 1 and 6 units. The registration period depends on the course and is between 1 and 3 years.
Certification
When you have successfully completed the course subject to quality assurance procedures, we will complete all the necessary checks and work with CILT and IWFM to get your qualification certificates direct to you.
