Study  Material  
 
After  you  log  in,  you  will  see  a  link  named  “My  courses”  in  the  left  hand  tab.  Click  on  
that  and  it  will  drop  down  to  show  the  name  of  the  course(s)  that  you  are  enrolled  
in  (see  the  bottom  arrow  in  the  image  below).  Alternatively,  you  can  see  the  list  of  
courses  that  you  are  enrolled  in  the  middle  section  (see  the  top  arrow  in  the  image  
below).  
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
Click   on   the   name   of   the   course   and   all   of   the   topics/units   of   that   course   will   be  
shown   to   you.   In   the   image   below,   the   arrows   point   out   the   different   documents  
available  for  topic/unit  1.  
 

 
 
Each  unit  has  some  readings,  which  must  be  done,  and  a  set  of  assessment  activities  
that   must   be   completed   in   order   to   finish   the   course.   In   the   image   above,   the   PDF  
document   entitled   “Module   1   –   Introduction”   and   the   Word   Document   entitled  
“Project   Management   Documentation   Templates”   are   the   set   of   readings   for  
topic/unit  1.  Clicking  on  each  of  the  links  will  open  the  documents  for  you  to  read,  
learn  and  understand  them.  
 
For  example,  you  will  start  with  unit  1  and  read  and  learn  all  of  the  content  material  
under   that   unit.   Lessons   are   usually   readings   in   PDF   or   Word   formats   that   can   be  
accessed  on  the  portal  under  the  appropriate  unit.  Once  you  have  read  and  studied  
all  of  the  material  for  that  unit,  you  can  complete  the  assessment  activities  for  that  
unit.  In  the  image  above,  the  link  entitled  “Unit  1  Quiz”  is  the  assessment  activity  for  
that  topic/unit.  So,  when  you  are  ready,  open  the  quiz  and  attempt  it.  You  have  two  
attempts  for  each  assessment  activity  and  the  highest  grade  that  you  achieve  is  what  
will   count   for   your   final   grade.   Not   all   units   will   necessarily   have   assessment  
activities.  
 
 
  
 
 
Assessment   activities   can   also   be   in   the   form   of   written   activities   that   you   must  
upload   on   to   the   Student   Portal.   These   activities   may   be   named   written   activities,  
but  not  all  courses  have  them.  If  your  course  has  one  or  more  written  assignments,  
make  sure  to  read  the  full  instructions  of  what  is  required.  The  instructions  will  be  
given  to  you  when  you  click  on  the  link  to  open  the  written  activity.  There  will  also  
be  an  upload  button  for  you  to  upload  your  responses  to  the  written  activity.  Click  
on   the   upload   button   and   upload   the   document   that   you   have   written   your   answers  
in.  Written  assignments  can  be  marked  on  pass/fail  basis  or  out  of  a  scale.  All  of  this  
information   is   usually   indicated   in   the   written   assignment,   so   make   sure   to   read   the  
details  when  you  open  each  link  for  a  written  assignment.  
 
Once   you   have   completed   the   first   topic/unit,   continue   on   to   the   remaining  
topics/units  until  you  have  completed  all  of  them.  
 
 
Course  Schedule  
 
You   have   12   months   from   the   date   of   enrolment   to   complete   each   course.   On  
average,   each   unit   takes   approximately   3-­‐5   hours   to   complete,   depending   on   your  
individual   pace   and   the   course.   As   such,   our   recommendation   is   to   complete   1-­‐2  
units   each   week   regularly,   instead   of   doing   the   work   in   bulk.   If   you   find   that   you  
need   more   time   to   complete   the   course,   you   may   purchase   additional   time   by  
contacting  info@uni-­‐prep.com  
 
   
  
Quizzes  /  Assignments  
 
Each   course   has   a   series   of   evaluation   activities   such   as   quizzes   and   assignments.   In  
order   to   complete   the   course,   you   must   have   an   overall   grade   of   more   than   50%   for  
the   course.   Each   assessment   activity   is   weighed   the   same,   unless   indicated.   Thus,  
your  final  grade  will  be  an  average  of  all  of  the  grades  that  you  receive  for  a  course  
and  your  final  grade  must  be  higher  than  50%  in  order  to  pass  the  course  and  obtain  
your   certificate   or   diploma.   If   you   have   any   exceptional   circumstances,   please  
contact  info@uni-­‐prep.com  to  discuss  your  case.  You  can  view  your  grades  for  each  
course  by  clicking  on  the  Grades  link  when  you  are  in  the  main  page  of  a  particular  
course  (image  below).  
 

 
 
Certificate  /  Diploma  
 
Once  you  have  completed  all  course  assignments,  follow  the  instructions  at  the  end  
of   the   course   to   request   your   certificate   or   diploma.   UNI-­‐Prep   staff   will   review   your  
course  work  and  will  issue  a  Certificate  or  Diploma  if  you  have  successfully  passed  
the  course.  Please  allow  2  weeks  for  UNI-­‐Prep  to  issue  a  Certificate  or  Diploma  and  
an  additional  4-­‐6  weeks  for  shipping  to  your  location.  Some  students  will  have  free  
shipping   of   Certificates   since   it   is   included   in   the   total   price   of   the   course.   Other  
students  may  have  to  pay  for  shipping  and  handling  of  their  Certificate  separately.  If  
you   are   not   eligible   for   free   shipping,   you   will   be   notified   when   you   request   a  
Certificate  or  Diploma.  
  
 
 
Educational  Questions  
 
If   you   require   clarification   for   any   lessons,   readings   or   assignment   questions,   you  
may  submit  your  question  to  training@uni-­‐prep.com.  Make  sure  to  write  “COURSE  
NAME  Question”  in  the  subject  line.  Please  allow  1-­‐2  weeks  for  a  response.  
 
Discounts  for  Old  Students  
 
Now  that  you  are  a  student  of  UNI-­‐Prep,  you  are  eligible  to  receive  a  10%  discount  
on   any   other   courses   that   you   sign   up   for   online.   Simply   enter   the   code   “OLD  
STUDENT”   under   the   field   Coupon   Code,   which   is   the   first   field   when   you   are  
registering   for   a   course   online,   and   the   discount   will   automatically   be   applied   to  
your  price.    
 
Upgrade  to  a  Diploma  
 
If   you   are   registered   in   a   Certificate   program,   inquire   to   see   if   a   Diploma   program   is  
available  for  your  course.  Most  of  our  programs  have  both  a  Certificate  option  and  a  
Diploma  option.  If  you  successfully  complete  the  Certificate  program,  it  will  be  very  
easy   for   you   to   also   obtain   the   Diploma   in   that   same   program.   Diploma   programs  
usually  have  more  written  assignments  and  take  longer  to  complete.  They  are  also  
more  expensive  than  Certificate  programs  since  they  are  more  advanced.    
 
Technical  Support  
 
If   you   require   support   for   any   non-­‐educational   related   matter,   please   contact  
info@uni-­‐prep.com.  Please  allow  1-­‐2  weeks  for  response.
