If you find that you struggle with the course itself or merely with the commitment of learning at home, you\u2019ll have access to your own tutor support for a twelve month period.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s even better is the fact that there\u2019s no need to commit before knowing for sure that this course is for you. Take our diagnostic test to find out your level of English and whether this course is the one you\u2019re looking for. Once submitted we\u2019ll evaluate your answers and let you know whether your level of English is basic (in which case you\u2019re perfect for this course), intermediate or advanced.<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s one of the latter two then don\u2019t be dismayed because we\u2019ll be adding the English Skills (Intermediate) and English Skills (Advanced), to go with our Mathematical Skills courses, in due course.<\/p>\n<p>On completion of this course you\u2019ll be awarded with a Certificate of Achievement from the awarding body ABC Awards, which may then be used as evidence towards a regulated qualification in the future.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s always great to spill the gossip on a new course; in fact, it\u2019s one of our favourite things to do, so here goes\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":6063,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-misc"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/www.ncchomelearning.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/featured-image-test-1.png","author_info":{"display_name":"Nick Cooper","author_link":"https:\/\/www.ncchomelearning.co.uk\/blog\/author\/nccnickcooper\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ncchomelearning.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2792","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ncchomelearning.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ncchomelearning.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncchomelearning.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncchomelearning.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2792"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncchomelearning.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2792\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38205,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncchomelearning.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2792\/revisions\/38205"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncchomelearning.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6063"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ncchomelearning.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncchomelearning.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncchomelearning.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
