  • Ensuring you fully commit to the required number of hours and planning enough time for the reading and supplemental study of core texts/materials and completion of final assignment.
  • Returning all completed tasks to your teacher/tutor within agreed set timescales.  This will directly contribute to your performance in the final assessment.
  • In the case of units assessed by assignments submit one draft (maximum) of each assignment task for review within time scales agreed with your teacher/tutor.
  • NB.  DRAFTS WILL NOT BE REVIEWED WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF THE CICM AWARDING BODY ASSIGNMENT SUBMISSION DATE.

Please note:  The CICM Awarding Body restricts the amount of support teachers/tutors can give.  Therefore they are not authorised to check your completed assignment because this must be your own work.

Your CICM teacher/tutor commits to:

  • Provide regular advice and guidance to support learning.
  • Assess your progress and provide support to help you achieve your goals.
  • Provide relevant and support the assignment.
  • Provide timely feedback on a maximum of one draft for each assignment within agreed timescales.

NB. NO DRAFT WILL BE REVIEWED WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF THE CICM AWARDING BODY ASSIGNMENT SUBMISSION DATE.
