E-Learning / Online assessment

How will the e-learning work?

Learners will have access to the course for 8 weeks and be able to study online at a time and location that is convenient to them. They will also receive a set support documents including mock exam papers, activities and handouts to keep for future reference along with a copy of the Energy Advice in the Home book.

Tutor support

Tutors will be available upon request to assist with specific queries relating to the course content. This is usually done via e-mail or telephone / video call.

Please note that this support is time limited as e-learning is generally self-led however more in-depth tuition can be arranged at an extra cost if required.

Suggested study time

For those new to the subject, we recommend a minimum of 20 hours to complete the course and a further 9 hours to prepare for the exam (experienced advisors may work through quicker). Each learner is different and E-Learning offers the flexibility to study at your own pace.

How will the online assessment work?

For online exams learners will require a quiet room and two separate electronic devices with internet access, sound and a video camera. Both devices must connect to Zoom (video conferencing platform). Device one will be used to connect to Zoom for the exam to be invigilated (this could be a computer, tablet or mobile phone) and device two will be used to access the online exam forms (this could be a computer or tablet).

Learners must attend an exam session observed by an NEA-registered examiner.

Learners are encouraged to book their exam date soon after starting their learning, full details on how to book will be included in the course joining instructions.

A full outline of the online assessment requirements can be viewed HERE.
