Tutor support

Queries: If you are struggling with a specific topic or question while studying at home you can contact an online tutor that will get back to you either via phone or email. Email your tutor at tutor@ibtc.co.za, clearly stating which subject, book, and page number you are dealing with and a lecturer will answer it as soon as possible.

Marked assignments: Included in your Home Study course are two progress tests and one full-length mock exam. When you are halfway through your studies, please email your tutor to send you the first progress test. Send it back within 3 days and your tutor will mark your test, with detailed feedback and comments. Try the next progress test about a month before you wish to attempt your mock exam. Simply email your tutor to send you the 2nd progress test, send it back within 3 days and receive detailed feedback on your attempt. You are now ready for your mock exam. Email your tutor to receive the mock exam, return it within 3 days and see if you are ready to attempt the real exam.

 

 

Add revision classes

"Research has shown that you are 20% more likely to pass your exam if you attend a revision phase." (BPP research based on a professional qualification)
 

IBTC offers you the opportunity to add 3 pre-exam revision-and-exam-technique classes to your Home Study (or Home Study Plus) course at a drastically reduced price. The reason why these classes are so effective, is that it is focussed on one objective - passing the exam. Our revision classes provide you with a review of key syllabus areas, question practice with lecturer feedback to perfect your exam technique, and exam tips!

 

Buy books

Although the Home Study packages provide you with the best chance of passing first time, some students may choose only purchase the study material, without making use of our online tutor, the study programme and the online student community. You may purchase the study text and practice-and-revision kit, as well as select CDs and study aids from our partner bookstore www.finbooks.co.za.
