These notes are prepared to help you prepare for your Employment module, SGSs and assessment and contain exam structures to help you revise for the exam and practice exam style problem questions.
This document is prepared with the aim to save you time so you don't have to go through the Workbook Chapters before revision. Please make sure that you have attended the SGSs, as you will need some background understanding of the rules to understand this document.
I have spent months simplifying the material to make sure that they are easy to understand using a structured step-by-step guide and clear table formats.
These notes are as concise as they can possibly be to make studying for exams quicker while summarising all SGS course content so you don't have to when you are already pressed for time. You will also find these notes extremely helpful when you begin your term - you can use them as a guide so you know which points to focus on before you even begin.
