Why take an Online Course in Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology?
Anatomy, physiology and pathology is perfectly suited to online delivery. Because anatomy, physiology and pathology is purely theoretical and requires no hands-on or face-to-face interaction, the whole of the subject can be presented and assessed online. You are not left unsupported – you have unlimited contact with an e-tutor who is there to help, guide and encourage to ensure you reach your individual goals. You also have access to online blogs to communicate with other students.
Home Study
Our online VTCT Level 3 Certificate in Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology requires no classroom attendance. The full interactive tutorial is delivered online, in the comfort of your own home. You can self-study at your own pace and fit your study time around your personal commitments. You do not have to wait for the beginning of the next academic year to start – you can enrol at any time.
Online Delivery
The body systems and the associated pathology covered in the online Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology course can be taken in any order. You can choose the order in which you take them to tailor your study to your own needs. Throughout the anatomy & physiology tutorial you are presented with questions to test your understanding as you progress. The pathology tutorial suggests sites to encourage you to research and provides comprehensive downloads with the “need to know” information about the medical conditions covered. When you have taken a section of either tutorial you can move on to the online assessments.
Online Assessment
Many distance learning courses involve posting assignments to your tutor and then waiting for them to be marked and then returned. This is not the case for the online anatomy, physiology and pathology course. All assessments are taken online and marked immediately. You can therefore progress faster and without any inconvenience. Once you have demonstrated your understanding by passing these online assessments you can take the Final Assessment.
Final Assessment
This is the only part of the course that must be invigilated. You are encouraged to attend ETS’s Assessment Centre near Northampton. You will be asked to bring photo ID and you will sit a final invigilated assessment. This contains 2 papers each containing multiple choice questions with a 70% pass mark and, like every other aspect of the Level 3 Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology course, it is delivered online. There is no waiting for weeks for your result – you know immediately. Final Assessments are held every 8 weeks and so, not only can you enrol at any time, but you have a broad choice as to when you sit your Final Assessment too.
If you live outside of the UK or if travelling to the Assessment Centre is problematic for you, we can arrange for you to take your final assessment from the location of your choice. The only requirement is that you do have access to a webcam with both visual and audio functionality. ETS has software that enables them to invigilate both your surroundings and your screen. Taking your final assessment using this method also means that you are not limited to the final assessment dates shown below, making the course even more accessible and flexible for you!
When is the Final Assessment held?
Final assessments are scheduled throughout the year. You will be required to meet for refreshments at 10.30am for an 11am start. If you select to take your final assessment from home, we arrange your assessment date to suit you – so you are not tied to the dates listed above.
What happens after I enrol?
ETS will e-mail you with the login details that you use to access the course. You progress through the course at your own pace, supported as required by your e-tutor. Once you have shown your mastery of the subject you elect to sit your final assessment and your VTCT Level 3 Certificate will be sent to you.
Will my PC be able to run the course?
