There is no longer a deadline, so you can undertake the course at your own pace. There used to be a deadline for the task where participants were given 3-4 weeks to submit their task. NADP have changed the format of the course to remove any deadline.

The new format of the Working Effectively with Autistic University Students training course means that it is available to everyone, all year round. There are many reasons we have changed to this format but the predominantly, it is because often, Disability Practitioners need the training ASAP for DSA funding. We were also noticing that a high number of participants were requesting deadline extensions for the task due to extremely heavy workloads. We wanted to take away the pressure of deadlines as we all have enough to worry about! Finally, the capacity for each course was 50 participants and the majority of submissions came in in the final few days of the deadline which meant an extremely high workload for the reviewer in one week. The new format makes the course more accessible for all and decreases pressure for everyone involved.
