Attendance is of the upmost importance. In addition to attendance of a minimum number of lectures and practical sessions required by ITEC to be eligible to sit the exam, each lecture and practical day is filled with necessary subject matter that, if missed, will not be reviewed. If there are any days that are impossible to attend, please discuss this with the tutor at the commencement of the course.
All projects, assessments, homework, treatment evidence and files must be completed and submitted by the agreed deadline. All of these are assessed and graded as part of ITEC and Sangoma requirements. Non-compliance will be marked as a fail unless an exceptional reason is given.
