# Are there exams?

## In this article, I'm going to outline how the course is graded

There are mini exams throughout. However, the 2 main exams (worth 30% each) are in January and July.

Exams are to be sat via secure web link, with screen sharing technology and webcam turned on. This is in effect to mimic a typical university exam setting, where there is no ''open book'' policy permitted.

Exams will be graded withing 2 weeks and results to be posted via secure Moodle link, withing 3 weeks of exam completion.

Consultation with an Education Advisor is allowed, as a means to discuss the exam performance. Such consultations can be booked via the ''book time with education advisor'' link on the UpSkill.co.uk website homepage.
