Some of the most frequent questions we get asked are "How long does it take to evaluate and mark my

examinations and post grades in the student portal? And or how long does it take to Issue and mail my

below some of the standard questions we receive so that you have the appropriate answers prior to

beginning your chosen studies.

Q: How Long Does It Take To Evaluate, Grade & Post Exam Marks in Student Portal?

A: Please allow up to three weeks to obtain your marks within the student portal. Granton Tech’s

course curriculum contains different number of lessons and examinations. Your Examinations are

evaluated and graded by tutors rather than being passed through grading machines. Hence, your tutor

schedules certain times each week for examination evaluation as well as grading. More elaborate

Q: How Rapidly Can I Progress through my course?

A: As rapidly as you like and have the allotted study time for. Granton’s courses take a set number of

study hours. Students who are able to study on a full time basis, or who can take two or three days a

week on their lessons will be able to complete their examinations in fewer time than students who

devote less time per week to their studies. Remember the more time you allocate and use for study the

sooner you will complete your course.

Q: What is the duration of each course?

A: Each course consists of different number of lessons and examinations. We have structured our

course curriculum to enable study at your

own pace. How quickly a student completes the course depends on which course they have registered in

and how much time a week they devote to studies. Typically students should aim to complete two

lessons per week for optimum progress but many prefer to study at their own pace and may take more

time as needed. The duration will depend on your eagerness to complete the course as well as the

amount of time you spend on each required lesson.

ensure to include in the subject line of your email or fax the course name and your student number. Once

you submit your lessons in for marking they will automatically be forwarded to the appropriate tutor for

marking. For this reason you do not have to check in to make sure your lessons were received. Once the

tutor marks your lesson, your grade will be posted directly in your student portal and you may access

that at any time to check your ongoing progress.



PAGE 15

Q: What happens if I have trouble with my course and specific course related content?

A: There is a tutor assigned to each of Granton's courses. He or she is responsible for providing varying

degree of assistance throughout the duration of your studies. The tutor is there to encourage students in

the process of developing their skills within their chosen course. At Granton

we do not expect students to know everything about their courses. There is a reason why students chose

Granton and that is because we understand that students register to learn. And it is our mission to guide

and to teach every step of the way. If you require assistance throughout

the duration of your studies, you can email your specific question/s to the following email address:

[email protected]. Once received your inquiry will be forwarded to the appropriate tutor and he

or she will get back to you with specific feedback as well as direction.

learning institutions. Our students study in a relaxed atmosphere in the comfort of their home. Students

are encouraged to take the time to put extra effort into parts of the course that interests them and they

can ask for assistance at any time. There is no pressure for students to meet any objectives outside of

Reasons Why You Will Succeed with Granton

The key difference between Granton Tech and many other traditional schools is that Granton has

developed their courses to prepare individuals for career advancement and new career opportunities.

We have invested time and resources to developing course curriculum that will provide each individual

with real set of skill focused knowledge, required in a real work setting.

1. The system of education and training used by Granton Tech is based on performance objectives

and skill development. Many traditional systems are competitive and are based on comparing

one student's answers to another's, the marks being used to differentiate between students rather

than focus on each student’s specific performance.

2. The system of education and training used by Granton Tech is based on the student following

instructions and using reference materials without time constraints to achieve objectives. In

this way your examination strain is eliminated and you will tend to perform better as your

learning will be relaxed and focused on acquiring knowledge not fast tracking through the

material. At Granton Tech we want each individual to achieve success and allow them to do so

within their own learning parameters.

2. The system of education and training used by Granton Tech is based on “an all-inclusive

curriculum”. Everything that you need to learn, or be tested on is found within your study

material. Once you complete your chosen studies you will be confident in pursuing new career

paths, and or higher education.

The primary focus at Granton Tech is to guide each individual in their pursuit of a better & happier

life. We aid each person in the fulfilment of their personal goals and ensure that each individual is

successful in meeting their learning objectives. We pride ourselves in putting each student first and

making their learning our priority.
