How is the course run?

At TABS we work with groups of candidates. By delivering this way we find that candidates are more motivated and able to support one another. Commitment to achieve is greater and individuals complete their awards much more quickly.

The training is computer based, allowing individual candidates to  work at their own pace.

How do I get my qualification certificate?

The first step is an initial assessment to see what level you attain at Maths/English, this then allows us to tailor a course to help you improve in the weaker areas. This course will be completed on CD ROM.

Once you have completed the course then you need to pass a short test to receive your certificate.

There are 40 multiple choice questions, the English test takes 1 hour and the maths test takes 1hr15mins. You receive the results almost immediately and receive your certificate shortly after passing the test.
