There is no resit option for this course as students do not need to pass level 4 module 1 in order to progress to level 4 module 2. The course provides formative feedback to students about the skills that they need to develop in order to meet the language requirements. Where students do not meet the projected target exit points for certain skills, they are given additional support to develop those skills. |
