Duration and delivery
Duration: Self-paced
Delivery: Online / Instructor-led
Entry requirements
No formal prerequisite is assumed unless MFTC states one for a particular scheduled intake. Basic business numeracy and an interest in the subject will help learners participate effectively.
Assessment and timed tests
Scenario analysis and timed knowledge tests may be used. Live procedural deadlines must be verified from current authoritative sources before use. Timed assessments use an authoritative server-side timer, save learner answers during the attempt and submit automatically when time expires. Subjective responses can be routed for authorised human marking.
Certificate
A certificate is issued only when the learner meets the applicable course-completion requirements and achieves the required assessment standard. The default MFTC pass mark is 50%. Certificates include a unique verification number and can be revoked where legitimately required.
Pricing
Contact MFTC for current pricing and available delivery options.
