Yes, it is. You can log in anytime and work on your own schedule when it’s convenient for you. Please note, however, that your personal tutor will provide feedback and a grade on at least one assignment for each of the 13 modules, and he or she requires one business day to do so.

There is no final exam in the 100-Hour EducatorPlus Certificate course.

Each of the 13 modules of the course has a graded, written assignment and a final, multiple-choice quiz at the end, both of which average together to determine your grade for that module. Your final grade in the EducatorPlus Certificate course is an average of your grades in all 13 modules.

The EducatorPlus Certificate course also includes a 40-hour Grammar Teaching component (Grammar Advisor), which has 12 modules, each with a final quiz. Grammar Advisor is “pass/fail,” meaning your quiz grades do not count toward your grade in the EducatorPlus Certificate course, but you’ll need an average score of 70% or higher on all 12 modules to receive Grammar Advisor certification and 40 hours’ credit toward your full 100-hour certification.

Yes. There are 1-2 required written assignments per module in this core curriculum of this course (a total of 16 assignments). Each assignment is about 500-800 words. When you submit an assignment, your tutor will provide feedback and a grade on it by end of the following business day.

There are no written assignments required in the Grammar Advisor component.

It is unlikely you will fail the course since your final grade is an average of 13 modules’ grades. Each module’s grade is made up at least one of two components: the module assignment(s) and the module quiz. If you fail a module quiz, you cannot retake it; however, if you fail a module assignment, you have one chance to resubmit it for a passing grade.
