Marking of Coursework Portfolio and Certification
Once you have attended all of the modules required for the level of training you completing, please send in your coursework for all of the modules for final marking and moderation.
Please send in all of your coursework in a folder. Please avoid using polly pockets.
We do not need to see photos of children or artwork. We just need to see the answers to all of the coursework for all the modules to the level of training you are completing.
The tutor will mark the coursework and check that all the coursework is fully complete and up to the required standard. If your coursework is not up to standard the tutor will ask you for further additions to be submitted by a set deadline. Students may submit up to 2 lots of additions per module. Once all the coursework is up to standard and fully complete your coursework portfolio will be put forward for moderation.
The Moderator will verify your full coursework portfolio and if satisfied that it meets the criteria for the level 3 will then be able to award you with the qualification. Only after this point we, FSTC, apply for your certificate.
