Hi. How can we help?

Every course possesses its distinctiveness, with its duration hinging on the nature and breadth of knowledge conveyed to learners. Alison provides a diverse array of courses, encompassing short certificates, regular certificates, advanced certificates, diplomas, and advanced diplomas. The duration of these courses ranges from a minimum study period of 90 minutes to a maximum of 30 hours.

Outlined below is the fundamental structure of an Alison course:

Courses are composed of chapters and modules, concluding with an assessment. Each module contains topics, and within each topic, there are individual pages. The structure of courses typically involves a single chapter, with a balanced combination of modules and topics, adjusted based on the course's length.

The introductory topic of each module should consistently display a list of Learning Outcomes on a single page. In contrast, the final topic, identified as the Lesson Summary, should encompass 1-5 pages, contingent on the number of key points relevant to summarise.

The intervening topics, denoted as Core Content topics, should ideally span 3-30 pages, adjusting based on the content needed to convey information effectively. It is advisable for Core Content topics to maintain a similar number of pages, ensuring a well-balanced and structured course. Specific minimum and maximum requirements are as follows:

• Number of modules per course: 1-40

• Minimum of three topics per module (excluding Learning Outcomes and Lesson Summary)

• General advice suggests maintaining 3-8 topics per module, with 5-12 pages per topic (or 1 page per topic for video-based courses).

The Publishing Tool will exhibit character limits as guidance, alerting you if content within a specific field is either too short or too long. Saving your work is contingent upon meeting these requirements, known as Validation Rules.
