Qualification units are delivered through purchasing an Enrolment, equipping you with the essential materials to support core learning. For a single fee, an Enrolment typically includes: study text, assessment and access to RevisionMate, our online study tool. 

We also offer additional revision aids through purchasing Enrolment plus for most key units. These range from Key fact booklets and Question packs, to Learn online tutorials.

Due to the extent of syllabus overlap, certain combinations of current and withdrawn units will result in only one award of credits.

If a withdrawn equivalent is held you may not need to complete a current unit in order to satisfy a qualification's completion rules. Clarification should always be sought from CII Customer Service.

You may be asked to take part in a randomly selected authenticity interview for a coursework assignment. The interview does not add marks or take marks away from your assignment result; nor does it indicate that we have a specific concern about your work. The purpose is to verify that the assignment has been written by you, by asking you to talk through it. More information can be found in the support centre course on RevisionMate.
