FAQs

Why choose distance learning?

  • Distance learning online is a great way to return to education.
  • A wide range of courses
  • More choice and flexibility
  • Anywhere at anytime
  • Develop your skills
  • On-going support
  • Improved career prospects

I’ve never done a distance learning course before. What is involved? Once you have applied and enrolled online you will then be sent your login details, login portal link and target dates via email.

How much time do I need to commit to completing the course? As most of our courses are Level 2 (the equivalent of a GCSE) we advise you to commit a minimum of 4 - 6 hours a week to be able to manage the deadlines comfortably and fulfil the learning requirements.

Do I get deadline dates for the assessments to be completed? Yes. The nature of distance learning means that you learn independently without the support of classroom tutorials and by giving you deadlines it helps you to keep focused and engaged.

Are your courses recognised by employers? All our courses are accredited by UK government-recognised awarding bodies. These include NCFE and TQUK, with whom we work closely to ensure our existing courses, and all new ones, meet approved standards of excellence and are certified as such. NCFE TQUK is a national awarding organisation which designs, develops and certifies nationally recognised qualifications and awards.

Do I have to attend college? No. All of our courses are distance learning.

Do I have to sit an exam? No. You will work through a series of assessments on all courses.

Will I be charged if I withdraw from my course? We accept that sometimes there are exceptional circumstances where it simply isn’t possible for you to complete your course. We will work with you to find an appropriate solution. However, if you are studying on a free course and choose to withdraw you may have to pay a fee to cover administration costs of £100.

What support will I receive during my studies? You will receive support from a dedicated online tutor and progress coach throughout your studies.

When is the start date? You can apply at any time throughout the year and approximately a week after your enrolment you will be able to start your course.

How long is the course? Course duration varies course by course dependent on units, ranging from 4 weeks to 30 weeks.

What if I can’t answer a question? Please get in touch with us. You will be assigned a progress coach and a tutor throughout your course that you can contact by email who can talk you through what is required. Please email the Online Learning Team.
