One zoom session per unit is included as part of the course fees. So it is very important that students feel that they are completely prepared to do them prior to booking in a session. If the student does not get marked competent in 1 session per unit, the student will have to pay session fee of $75.00 for any additional sessions per unit, you first session is free and included as part of your course fees.
