When will my course start?

When you have been allocated to your group, you will be notified by email of your username and password

When will I receive my certificate?

Upon successful completion of your course, your school will apply for your certificate from the awarding body and they will send your certificate to you in the post.

Do I have to sit an exam?

For most courses no, as you work through your course you will complete and submit to your teacher a number of assessed activities, which will build up to form your portfolio of evidence of learning. Your teacher will mark your assessments and provide feedback. When you have successfully completed all of the required assessments your certificate will be awarded on satisfactory submission of your portfolio of evidence.

However, qualifications in Functional Skills are assessed differently. For example, you may be asked to complete test papers under controlled examination conditions and to complete other assessments set by your school, such as a formal discussion and presentation.

Teachers

Who will my teacher be?

When you are fully enrolled on a course, you will be allocated to a teacher who will provide you with support and feedback on your assessments as you study. You can contact your teacher whenever you want to, all at the click of a button.

How can I contact my teacher?

Once you have logged on to your study area, you can contact your teacher by using v-mail, vision2learn’s own internal messaging system. Look for the v-mail link at the top of your study area. There are also a number of places within the system where you can automatically send a message to your teacher just by clicking on the teacher’s name. Look out for your teacher’s name which will be highlighted in a different colour.

Technology

What computer 'kit' do I need?

Note: We cannot guarantee that any combination of these recommendations will enable you to access vision2learn for schools. All software functionality is subject to the local settings of your PC.

Is there a user manual to help me find my way around vision2learn for schools?

Yes, once you have logged in to ‘My study’ you will see a link to ‘Help’ at the top of the screen. Click on this and you will be given the option of visiting a web based version of the user guide or downloading a copy of it in Word format.

Can I study these courses on a Mac PC?

Vision2learn for schools is designed and built for Windows PC computers. We believe that the current version is compatible with Mac operating systems, although we cannot offer any support to Mac users. You will need to ensure that you have compatible software so that your teacher can read your submitted work.

I do not have Microsoft Office installed on my computer. Do I have to purchase this software in order to study my chosen vision2learn for schools course?

It is recommended that you use Microsoft products because the course materials make extensive use of them and without them you may not be able to complete some of the coursework. Why have we written the courses using mostly Microsoft products? Because they are the most used software applications. Our use of them is not necessarily a recommendation of Microsoft products. Some courses do have less specific software requirements and you should check the course information pages to find out what you need.
