2. Preparatory Information

Estimated time – depends on current knowledge

The Level 2 Authoring Course builds on the knowledge and skills developed in the Level 1 Authoring Course and Level 1 Authoring Certification.

As such there is an expectation that you already have a basic level of authoring knowledge and skills. The level of knowledge expected is detailed in the Level 1 competencies. To support a course participant in ensuring that they are ready to undertake the course, we have developed material to assist them in checking and refreshing their knowledge. This material is available once registered and is to be undertaken prior to start date of course.
