You submit your assessment answers to your tutor for marking, who will give you feedback on each question. If you do not pass an assessment, don’t worry!

Once your Tutor has marked your work, you will receive an email instructing you to log into the system. If your result is ‘Refer’ this means your Tutor has highlighted some areas which need more attention in order for you to pass. You will then be able to re-attempt and re-submit the questions you didn’t pass first time round.
