Assessment dates

Well I’m wondering if I have read all this correctly. If so, my aim to finish photography 1.1 in 33 weeks so as to complete a degree in six years not nine seems rather pointless as I can’t be assessed until the “spring” despite aiming to complete by 1st December ….so potentially several months of idle time.

My question is have I missed one of two things?

A….that I have read this wrong and I can be assessed in December/January?

B…. That this should have been obvious to everyone at the outset and that I missed it? 

I do appreciate “spring” means different things to different people

Hi Alan,

I'm not sure if you've found the answer go your question yet, but I finished my first year in December and submitted for the Spring assessment. I enrolled on my second module immediately after completing the first module. You can start a new module before assessment dates. Just make sure you factor time into your schedule to prepare for the assessment event (I took a week for mine)
So I finished year One in December, started year two in January and submitted year one for assessment this Spring.
I hope this helps?

Thanks for this.
It is really kind of you and much appreciated.
Isnt it a shame though, that all this is not made clear - I have just found the dates for 2022 which indicate that "Spring" is actually January - but I cant see any dates for 2023
Thanks again it really helped settle my concerns
