Learners are not allowed to make any request to interchange unit(s) once enrolment is complete.

Select your course: You choose the course you decided to pursue, but ensure you meet the entry requirements. 

Enrol: Once the course is selected, you can make an order application via our website and contact us via email at admission@sbusinesslondon.ac.uk. You can pay online or by bank transfer- either a single payment or easily monthly instalments.

Access to the Learning Portal 'MyLearnDirect': Once we have received your order application and payment, we will undertake a compliance check process, such as verifying your ID and eligibility. You will receive your 'MyLearnDirect' login credentials once the compliance process is complete, which usually happens within 48 hours of receiving payment and all the necessary documents. 

Induction: We will provide a comprehensive online learning induction to help you settle in and prepare for your online studies.

Dedicated Tutor: You will be allocated to a tutor and supported by our academic support team, who will assist and advise you about your course and assignments. Once you complete your assignment, your allocated tutor will assess your work and provide you with formative feedback, which will help you improve your assignment before the final submission.

Assessment of Assignments: Feedback is provided to you regularly when you improve your work. Once the final submission is made, marks and grades are published via the learning portal ‘MyLearnDirect’.

Certification: You will get your certificate once you passed all the modules and completed the course successfully. You can then move on to your desired career with the help of the accredited certificate. You can enrol in a different course with us if you want to study more. We always offer special prices to our existing learners.
