Online Assessment

Many distance learning courses involve posting assignments to your tutor and then waiting for them to be marked and then returned. This is not the case for our online anatomy, physiology and pathology course. All assessments are taken online and marked immediately. You can therefore progress faster and without any inconvenience. Once you have demonstrated your understanding by passing these online assessments you can take the Final Assessment.

Final Assessment

This is the only part of the course that you cannot take from home. You must attend our Assessment Centre in Milton Keynes for just half a day. We will ask you to bring photo ID and you will sit a final invigilated assessment. This contains only 36 multiple choice questions with a 70% pass mark and, like every other aspect of our Level 3 Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology course, it is delivered online. There is no waiting for weeks for your result – you know immediately. We hold Final Assessments every 8 weeks and so, not only can you enrol at any time, but you have a broad choice as to when you sit your Final Assessment too. The Final Assessment is absolutely nothing to worry about - click here to see why..

When is the final assessment held?

We have final assessments scheduled for Monday September 6th and November 8th in Milton Keynes. In 2011 they will be held on 10th January, 7th April, 9th June, 4th July, 5th October and 7th December. Others will follow in 2012 at about 8 week intervals. You will be required to meet for refreshments at 10.30am for an 11am start.

Live Outside of the UK? We can offer an online VTCT Level 3 International Diploma for students that study outside of the UK. The course will run in the same way, but students can take their timed online final external assessment in any location. Important! Although the final assessment is uninvigilated, it is a requirement that the final assessment is taken in front of a web cam to evidence the identity of the candidate. The International Diploma, unlike the UK version, will not be automatically accepted within the UK. The acceptance of the International Diploma will be dealt with on an individual basis by establishments. Students who hold the International Diploma and wish to transfer this to the UK Diploma will be able to do so by simply sitting an invigilated final assessment at an approved UK Centre (including, of course, ETS). This will be available at a discounted rate of 50% of the current VTCT UK assessment fee (currently £50). The VTCT centre may also make an administrative charge (ETS charge an admin fee of £50).
