You can choose to complete your assignments by handwriting or by computer, submitting your assignments either by paper or email. We find some people prefer to handwrite their work while others prefer to use email. Generally, email is the quicker and safer option as you don’t have to wait for Royal Mail to deliver your work and there’s less chance of it going missing. The majority of colleges are unable to offer the dual submission service we offer as it’s a lot easier for them not to have to deal with assignments that arrive by post.
