11.2 – Models for Blended Courses
Learners will be required to have a model for the practical sessions. The model would not be required until 1.15 pm.
Please note that models are NOT permitted to sit through theory sessions. The reason for this is that the model can become a distraction to the other learners. It is the responsibility of the learner to supply the model. Please note models must be over the age of 16. It is also the learner’s responsibility to make sure that the model is not contraindicated and fully understands the treatment they will be receiving, and the contra-actions related to that treatment.

It is the responsibility of the student to check if the model they will be using for the training day has any of the contraindications listed below before booking a course.

Your Learners Portfolio is marked continually during your course, so please upload work as you complete it, instead of uploading a large number of documents all at once. If there is going to be a delay in marking, we will endeavour to publish this information beforehand within the Learners Portal.

1.17 – ITEC and VTCT qualifications
1.17a – These assessments must be invigilated by an assessor, and we are one of the few training schools that meet the requirements to allow you to complete your assessment online in your own home and country. You must make use of a computer/laptop with a built-in webcam to complete your final assessment. Mobile phones and tablets will not be acceptable for the final assessment. To be able to complete your final assessment online, you must have access to our assessment program called “Zoom”. Photographic ID must be seen before taking the final assessment, this can be a driving licence or passport.

Brighton Holistics Online are not responsible for the assessment’s quality or content. ITEC and VTCT do not indicate what will be asked within your final assessment, and again, this is not Brighton Holistics’ reasonability. An anatomy and physiology assessment is a knowledge-based assessment.
1.17c – Final assessment dates will be given to you once you have reached the required learning outcomes and when you advise us that you are ready. You must notify us of your chosen exam date at least eight weeks before the final assessment exam date. Please note that if you are not taking your final assessment at Brighton Holistics Online, Brighton Holistics Online cannot be responsible for the assessment date given to you or the timeframe by other training establishments.
1.17c – It is the learners’ responsibility to make sure that all coursework is saved and backed up. Lost coursework is the reasonability of the learner, not Brighton Holistics Online. If you are completing your assessment with another ITEC or VTCT assessment centre, you must take your original Pathology assignments with you on your assessment day, failure to do this would mean you can’t sit your assessment.
1.17d – When you are completing your online assessments, you must make sure that you have a good Wi-Fi, 3g or 4g connection. If the signal keeps breaking, your assessment will be cancelled, and you will have to reschedule your assessment. This will be classed as a failed assessment.

You may be asked to download an app or software to give you full functionality. Your Assessment will also be recorded for assessment Invigilation purposes.
1.17e – A final assessment can be taken once, with one free resit. An administration fee of £100 will be charged per additional assessment. If you are completing your assessment at another ITEC or VTCT assessment, their costs may differ. The Learner would need to pay the chosen assessment centre fees and not Brighton Holistics Online.
All our courses are invigilated by an assessor to maintain the quality of the course and the qualification.
