A minimum of 9-10 hours per week is required over the course. This work will include background reading, exam training, completing exam practice tasks and forum discussions.

Throughout the programme, there will be an experienced Delta tutor working with you to ensure you gain as much benefit as possible from the programme. In addition to the course materials described above, there are several key elements in place to ensure that your learning is supported:

• you will be part of a small study group who will participate in online discussions, monitored by an experienced Delta tutor.
• a member of the Course Tutor team will provide guidance on your progress during the course and outline ways in which you might develop your ideas further.
• a support team of a Course Co-ordinator and the Course Administrator, and a dedicated IT helpdesk are available should you need extra help.

Module 1 is assessed via a written examination. The exam consists of two papers, each 1 hour 30 minutes. It is held in early December and early June and is externally marked.

You may take the exam either at International House London, a British Council local centre or another approved local Cambridge centre. Please note that transfer centres may charge an administration fee.The Distance Delta team will support you in arranging your exam centre.
