The modules do however form part of the curriculum of, for e.g. the Bachelor of Theology degree. If you decide to apply for an accredited qualification at ATS in future, you may request Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and be credited for the standalone learning modules you have already completed.
After registering (see ‘How to get started…’) you will receive your printed study material and be given access to ATS’ online learning platform.

Since the Standalone Learning Modules module(s) form part of the curriculum of an accredited qualification, you will complete the same assessments (e.g. assignments, tests and/or exam) as students studying these modules for a qualification. Your due dates will also be the same and if there are Virtual Classes, you’ll be invited to attend and participate. In essence, in the module(s) you have chosen, there is no distinction between you and a student studying for a qualification.
You’ll need to register an invigilator for your tests and exam.
