Advice for students studying CA3

Details of the profession's new CA3 2-day courses and assessments can be found on the profession's website.

If you are planning to attend a 2-day course and assessment then we recommend you purchase our Course Notes and X Assignments labelled 'CA3 (assessment)' using our estore. Assignments can be purchased with or without marking.

Face-to-face tutorials are now available for students working towards the Profession's two-day assessment course in Subject CA3. We offer a variety of tutorials, designed to help you pass the assessment:

• A Preparation Day: to build upon your learning from the CA3 Course Notes and help develop the written and presentation key skills you need to pass the assessment. The tutorial will include short exercises providing opportunities to practise both your written communication and presentation skills. You will leave the tutorial with your own personal action plan so that you know how you need to improve before the assessment.
• A Mock Exam Day: giving you the chance to attempt the type of assessments you will face on day two of the Profession's assessment course. Two hours of the day will be spent attempting a written assessment under exam conditions. This will be marked by ActEd and written feedback will be sent to you shortly after the day. You will also have the opportunity to practise delivering your own presentation, which you will need to prepare before the day. As well as receiving immediate feedback on the design and delivery of your presentation, you will get the opportunity to watch and learn from other students.
• A One-2-One Session: giving you one hour to practise your presentation skills with an experienced communication skills tutor who is familiar with what the examiners will be looking for. This opportunity is ideal if you would like to build your confidence and receive immediate feedback on your presentation style so that you can improve before your assessment. You can also use this session to discuss any other aspect of your preparation for the assessment. (Unless you request otherwise, this session will be based on a question from the mock exam and so should not be booked in conjunction with the mock exam.)

To apply for any of the tutorials listed below, please order using our estore, or complete CA3 tutorial order form 1 or CA3 tutorial order form 2 (courses dated 17 September onwards).
