Frequently Asked Questions About Studying
How Will I Study?
You will study primarily through Magpie Training's e-learning platform. This provides access to learning resources, assessment activities and assessor feedback.
Throughout your qualification, your allocated assessor will provide guidance and support.
Can I Study from Anywhere in the UK?
Yes. Magpie Training supports learners throughout the UK through our Moodle learning platform.
However, practical qualifications may require suitable workplace evidence and assessment arrangements.
What If My Assessor Cannot Observe Me in Person?
Where the qualification and awarding organisation permit, an approved expert witness may provide evidence of practical competence.
For example, a suitably experienced workplace manager may observe relevant aspects of your practice. However, the witness must have appropriate occupational competence and meet the qualification's requirements.
In addition, your Magpie Training assessor remains responsible for evaluating the evidence and making the final assessment decision.
