Assessment at Online Business School is a very straightforward process:
- After you have completed an online module, you will have an online assessment to complete. This assessment contains 30 multiple-choice questions. You will have one hour to complete these questions, which are answered in sets of five, so you will have plenty of time to review and edit your answers. After an hour, the test will automatically time out.
- After you have completed the test, your results will be displayed immediately. If you have passed, you will receive a certificate of completion. If you don’t pass, you will receive a notification of a “refer’’ where you will be told how to retake a module assessment. You can complete these modules at your own pace, as there is no deadline to complete the course.
- When the online modules have been successfully completed, you will then be able to take the final written assignments provided by Online Business School that test your knowledge and understanding of the modules. After successful completion of these eight assignments, you will receive your diploma from the OFQUAL awarding organisation.
- You will then be eligible to apply for progression onto a top up course through a recognised UK university on campus or by distance learning.
The Level 3 course is a 120 credit course, which is equivalent to 2 A levels.
Level 4 is the equivalent to the first year of a bachelor’s Degree programme.
Level 5 is the equivalent to the second year of a bachelor’s degree programme. It is also equivalent to a HND diploma.
Upon completion of a Level 6 course, you will be eligible for admission onto a postgraduate business programme, including an MBA course.
The Level 7 course carries 120 credits which gives entry onto the MBA top up (one module or one module + dissertation). This can be completed by studying either online or on campus at a recognised UK or overseas university.
At Online Business School, we are with you every step of the way – you are never alone. We understand that some prospective students have the misconception that distance learning means you will be on your own. Fortunately, at OBS, that is not the case!
When you enrol onto your chosen course, you will be assigned a personal tutor. The tutor will be there to support you with any questions and further explanations on your course via email, phone or Zoom.
With Online Business School, you get OFQUAL approved courses, online learning flexibility, and unlimited tutor support for maximum study potential.
