Our partner’s The Institute of Legal Secretaries and PAs are delighted to be offering live online classes, which start on Wednesday 26 January 2022. Online classes have become a very popular form of learning due to the growth of virtual communication during the pandemic.
To celebrate the announcement of their next class, ILSPA are offering an early bird discount of £100 to all Students who enrol before the end of October 2021.
The beauty of the live online class option is that you can study the course from the comfort of your own home as well as being taught by one of their tutors. The online classes enable you to have an interactive experience, where you can communicate with your tutor and be part of a group of Students.
Your tutor will provide you with support and encouragement throughout your studies. Students regularly provide feedback on how much they have enjoyed the classes and have found the provided tutors to be friendly and helpful.
Online classes are the perfect option for someone who is thinking about studying the distance learning course but doesn’t want to miss out on having a tutor. It is also beneficial for those who previously would have been unable to attend a class as they live outside London or are overseas. With the ability to log in to the classes from wherever you are, you have access to a very beneficial and flexible form of study.
The classes will take place one evening a week for 14 weeks. You will not have to physically attend as everything can be accessed online via a link. All you will need is a tablet, laptop or desktop computer. Alongside attending classes, you will need to set aside time to study and complete coursework each week. All the course material and Student resources are available online through their website.
There are no examinations for the course. You are assessed through coursework, which consists of multiple-choice achievement tests and practical assessments. As well as receiving support from your tutor, you will be able to contact your Course Assessor for any help you need with your coursework via email or telephone. You will be sent their contact details when you enrol.
