Online learning is a way of learning remotely without attending lessons in a classroom or having regular face to face contact with a tutor.
This means you can study at home, at a time that suits you, with the freedom to revisit areas of the course as little or as much as you like without having to keep the same pace as others.
Our flexible start dates mean your course starts when you apply and receive your welcome email. This normally takes around 48 working hours so only apply when you are ready to start as we don’t like to keep our students waiting!
Once you are successful with your application you will be invited to join an online induction along with an AI recording of the induction. You will also be allocated one of our highly experienced and friendly tutors.
Each qualification may vary in the expected length of time for you to complete your qualification that your funding will allow for.
