How distance learning works:

A Personal Childcare Supervision FETAC Tutor

Once you have enrolled as a student with us, a personal tutor will be assigned to work with you throughout your studies and provide expert guidance and tuition. You will be in a 'class of one', with your tutor, an experienced and qualified specialist in Childcare Supervision FETAC distance education.

Assessment

This course is divided into 5 study units. You will be assessed through completion of a personal learner record which records your personal experience of supervision in a childcare context. This will include planning of initiatives, making decisions and demonstrating your supervision and organisational skills.

All work submitted must be your own and the course must be completed within 12 weeks of receiving your study units. There is no final exam at the end of the course. Work submitted will be marked by your tutor, checked by an internal verifier and also by an independent FETAC external authenticator.

In addition in every unit you will find practice questions and activities. These are provided as a means of self-assessment and progress check.
