7. I have an extremely busy work and home life. Is this
program for me?
The most successful online learners are dedicated, excited self-starters.
In most cases you will be able to complete your work on your schedule, but you
will need to make sure to stay organized, participate in regular online
discussions, and meet weekly deadlines.
8. What happens if a module is not completed on time? Is it
possible to finish it later?
All previous modules remian open for the entire duration of the course so the
learner is able to access them at point.
Therefore, although it is recommended that learners complete the previous
module before starting on the next; due to external factors within the work – life
mix and the internal course structure, this is not always possible so, yes, it is
possible to finish certain parts at a later date.However, some group activities
have deadlines which need to be met.
Full support from the e-moderator is always available, so if a learner has any
concerns about completion times, the e-moderator will be there to advise the
best action.
