    Written exams for the subjects you completed the week before will be on Monday morning. ONLY those who have submitted their assignments will be able to sit their exam.

    Remote students are given ten contact hours with their designated assessor to assist them through this process should they need it, and further assistance is available for students when necessary.

    Once Remote students have completed all of their assignments, they will need to contact ECA Maritime College to organise a time to sit their written exams.
