When you enrol, you’ll be registered as a City & Guilds learner for three years. That means you have three years to complete your chosen qualification. Where you start will depend on the skills you already have. You can stop at any time, or build on the qualifications you’ve taken. An Award will count towards a Certificate, and a Certificate will count towards a Diploma. This flexibility allows you to work at a pace that suits you.

You have to sit exams for all Level 2 and 3 qualifications. These will be held in an exam environment. At Level 2, the exams are multiple-choice questions. At Level 3, the exams are short answer tests.

Once you’ve finished studying for a unit, you need to discuss what you’ve learnt with your Line Manager. They’ll decide whether you’re ready to sit the exam. Your Line Manager will then get in touch with Premier Partnership to book your exam.

Levels 4 and 5 qualifications are assignment based. Once you’ve enrolled, you can log into the Premier Partnership site https://cap.premierpartnership.co.uk/moodle/login/index.php to see what you need to complete.

Each qualification is made up of individual units, and each unit has its own set of assessment criteria. In order to pass a unit, you need to show evidence that you’ve met those criteria. Evidence is assessed through a variety of methods depending on the unit you are studying, but it might include:

• Completing a workbook
• Carrying out activities or exercises as part of a Workplace Learning Activity
• Undertaking activities as part of e-learning or face-to-face events
• Undertaking work-based projects
• Writing personal development action plans
