Course B describes support but does not identify the completion document. There is not enough information to choose solely from those descriptions. Ask A about support and B about the document; if a workplace has requested particular evidence, ask that workplace about the proposed option too.<\/p>\n<p>A concise provider enquiry could say: \u201cI am considering this course option for this learning purpose. Please confirm the assessment requirements, support route, access terms and completion document. I have attached the wording of the training requirement I was given.\u201d Include only material needed to answer the question.<\/p>\n<p>Once the missing answers arrive, compare them with your purpose.
