Expectations and Responsibilities

The courses offered by ABDO College are designed to allow students the opportunity to develop skills and knowledge across a number of different areas and topics. The combination of distance learning, teaching on residential blocks, access to personal tutors and a supervisor in practice should cater for all learning styles and needs. Support is consistently available to students throughout the various programs however; ABDO College has certain expectations of students in return.

• Students should be self-motivated and take ownership of their progression through the course.
• There should be a drive for self-improvement at each and every stage of the program.
• Students need to be aware that support is readily available; however, guidance should be sought once understanding of a topic has been attempted independently. Tutors and supervisors act as guides rather than teaching concepts from scratch.
• Good time management is key for a successful journey through the courses. Supervisors should be regularly checking in with students to monitor progress, however, the responsibility for ensuring timely submission of coursework lies with the student themselves.
• It is the student’s responsibility to inform ABDO College and ABDO Examinations, separately, of any change of supervisor as a matter of urgency. Failure to do so could lead to invalid case records/hours logging.
• All students must comply with the GOC Code of Conduct, ABDO and ABDO College policies and all laws associated with the courses.
