GUIDANCE NOTES TO COMPLETE YOUR Level 3 or Level 4 PTLLS ASSIGNMENT QUESTIONS
There is no specific word count for any of the assignment questions. However, it is expected that a learner should write at least 3 to 4 paragraphs for each of the assignment questions. A paragraph would normally consist of 6 to 7 sentences and can be more. Please avoid over-writing as the maximum limit would be 2 pages for any of the questions (11 questions X 2 = 22 pages).
