The programme is modular and assessment is by written assignment. Tutorial support via telephone or e-mail and detailed feedback on completed assignments. A compulsory weekend course on Notarial Practice skills.
Students work at their own pace and submit assignments as they are completed.
There are no set deadlines for the completion of assignments and no prescribed order for the completion of modules but the Diploma must be completed within 5 calendar years of registration. The length of time each module will take will depend very much on individual circumstances and personal approach. However, as a rough guide, at least 30 hours should be allowed to complete each subject guide and a further day to plan and write each assignment. All written assignments for each module must be submitted to complete the Diploma. Assignments will be subject to both internal moderation and external examination.
