It is essential that students pay close attention to the due dates. Extensions are not usually given except in exceptional circumstances. Students must apply for extensions prior to the due date by mailing (or e-mailing) the Begin Fitness a completed extension request form.

As with all forms of assessment conducted by the Begin Fitness the aim is not to try and trick or trap students but simply to uncover what you have learned during your study, and to give you a feeling of accomplishment when you have completed the course. If students are unhappy with their mark or assessment they are of course free to discuss this with the Course Co-ordinator so that a suitable arrangement can be made to assist the student to understand areas of their knowledge that require improving so that they can successfully complete the course. Our code of practice and complaints policy provides information regarding disputes and other issues relating to assessment.
