EMAIL LEARNING - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (faq)
HOW DOES IT WORK?
1 You register for the course of your choice by using the form on our website
2 Places on each course are limited so you will be notified if you have been successful or placed on a waiting list
3 When you are given a place you are ready to begin. A start date will be given to you.
4 Each lesson will be emailed to you on or before the 5th day of every month. This will include some background information to help you and your assignment.
5 The assignment may require you to answer questions, write an essay type answer or ask your views on various scenarios.
6 The information you receive will usually be enough for you to complete the assignment, however further study of your own is recommended to ensure you get the best from the course.

8 You can send your answers in whatever format is easiest for you. Send in a basic email; type in a word document and attach, or handwrite your answers and scan. Please note: if scanning handwritten answers, please ensure your writing is neat, easy to read and has scanned clearly.
9 If your assignment is not clear and easily read or understood, your tutor may return it to you.
10 Your assignment will be marked and returned to you. Usually before the next lesson is sent out again.
WHAT WILL I RECEIVE UPON COMPLETION?
A certificate will be sent to you by email stating your overall grade.
ARE THERE AGE RESTRICTIONS?
Unless otherwise stated, each student who registers must be at least 18 years old. There is no upper age limit.
WHICH LANGUAGE WILL BE USED?
Courses are currently only offered in English and you must be able to read and write fairly well in English to complete the course.
DO I NEED A QUALIFICATION TO JOIN?
No. All you need is the interest and willingness to learn and the commitment to complete the course. You also need to be sure that you can have access to the internet to receive and submit your assignments.
AM I GUARANTEED A PLACE ON A COURSE ONCE I REGISTER?
No. Places on courses are limited. This may vary from course to course. Spaces will be allocated on a first come first served basis to those who provide all information required. Those unsuccessful will be placed on a waiting list and notified accordingly.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I THINK MY ASSIGNMENT WILL NOT BE SUBMITTED ON TIME?
Always contact your tutor as early as possible. If there is a genuine reason why your assignment is late, the tutor will do their best to accommodate you and give you extra time. If, however, this is an ongoing problem, the tutor may decide to terminate your studies.
WHAT SUPPORT WILL I HAVE?
You will be given an email address for your tutor. You can contact him/her as often as you need to. Do not be afraid to ask questions or ask for something to be explained again if you are unsure or do not understand.
If you have access to “Facebook”, you will be able to join a group made up specifically of other students studying the same course. You will all be at the same level. You can post comments or questions here relating to the course and these can be responded to by other students or the tutor. Please note: This group should be used to discuss the course only and no general conversation is allowed. Anyone not following the rules will be excluded from the group and may loose their place on the course. Once you have completed the course you will automatically be removed from the group. Should enough students which to avail of the facebook facility, arrangements may be made whereby there can be an online instant chat with the tutor and other students at a set class time each week.
A forum may also be available (subject to demand) on the Feed My Lambs website for posting comments and asking questions regarding the course you are studying.
HOW MUCH DOES THE COURSE COST?
Feed My Lambs does not charge a fee for the course, neither do we refund any expenses. Costs such as internet usage and printing of notes are at your own expense.
Upon completion a certificate will be awarded to you. This will be in email format for you to print at your own expense. Should you require us to print it for you there will be a charge for printing and postage if applicable.
