Just because you submit the assignment electronically through the Virtual Training Suite doesn’t mean that it automatically triggers a ‘course complete’ button and you can download your certificate.
All assignments are reviewed internally by one of the senior members of the technical team and marked accordingly, so that we’re confident that you have fully understood the content of the course – it’s no different to submitting an assignment in a face-to-face classroom environment. Until that assignment has been reviewed, you will not be deemed to have completed the course.
Naturally, if we feel that your assignment doesn’t quite hit the requirements, we will always give you feedback on what needs to be improved and you can have another attempt. It’s not one strike and you’re out.
Complete pre-requisite training
With some of the courses, there are separate training modules within the course that you’ll need to complete before applying to BICSc for the next stage (be that a live assessment, training practice day, etc).
For example, in the Assessor course, there’s a lesson on how to use the CPSS app, and further into the course we give you details of a training account you can use with the app to assess a candidate in the test assessment lesson. We’re aware that some establishments don’t permit the use of electronic devices on-site, but if you do

have access to a device you’re expected to use the app to mark the assessment presented in the course.
When you attend the practice day, you will be expected to be comfortable with the app and be prepared to use it throughout the day.
Download and read resource
documents At the end of each course, we have included as much backup documentation as we can to go with the course. Sometimes the information you need is contained within the documents, so it's recommended you always download and read the documents.
As tutors, we may not be in the ‘classroom’ with you, but you can’t try it on with the ‘dog ate my homework’ type excuse. If you want to progress to the next stage or download your certificate and you haven’t completed all lessons in a course, we can tell from your account how far you've progressed through the course and whether you’re eligible to progress to the next step.
Like all good teachers should be, we’re here to help you. Happy learning!
Now, where did I put those gold stars? I have more assignments to mark.
