This Assisted Learning version is designed for candidates with a learning difficulty, a disability, or for whom English is not a first language, and who would benefit from extra support in a relaxed, understanding environment. The content and qualification are the same as the standard course, delivered through simplified, easy-to-follow presentations, image-led workbooks, and a narrated exam with tutor support throughout.
