The Learning Foundation (TLF) and University of Chester are pleased to announce that people who undertake TLF Module 1 can claim 15 credits at Postgraduate level for the submission of a reflective essay, written on the subject of their choice and relevant to putting the TLF Module into practise. 

The benefit of this approach to accreditation is that each individual can take this new learning exactly where they need it to go.  This means that they can get the most from their professional and personal lives and in addition they can have it recognised within the University system.

The process is easy to follow.  First attend the TLF Module 1.  During this course speak with the tutors (who are also Associate Tutors of the University of Chester) about what essay theme you might choose.  Write a draft or part of a draft of your essay and send it to the tutors for feedback.  You can finally submit the essay for marking when you are happy with it. 

Passing the Module means that you will have 15 credits which you can add to by taking other modules from the University of Chester (such as modules from their MA Conflict Management & Transformation Programme, or Leadership Programme or you can create your own workplace projects and with a tutor set your own assessments).  60 credits mean you will get a Post Graduate Certificate, 120 credits a Post Graduate Diploma and 180 credits a Master's Degree. 

The University of Chester use a unique accreditation system that also allows you to choose the name of your programme of study.  This is all about you and this TLF Module is a great place to start and the University of Chester will offer individual support to enable you to get the most out of your experience.

These modules can be complementary with other academic and professional qualifications, e.g. those involved in the sectors of Legal, Accountancy and Medical/Health, Educational and Human Resources, via Accredited Prior Certificated Learning (APCL).  In addition, vocational and job experiences can be integrated via the Accredited Prior Experiential Learning (APEL).
