Duration

Course duration will vary dependant on student commitment, effort and ability. Overall guided learning hours are approx 250 in addition placement work. This should be used as a guideline only and completion times will vary hugely.

We would encourage students to seriously consider how they plan to complete their chosen course prior to enrolment. Students should think about how they are going to study, where they are going to study and how often. Be realistic!

Speak to family members and help them to understand what you are trying to achieve, explain you may require peace and space to study at certain times. The more you involve them the more likely you are to get them on your side.

Students are reminded that the time in which they complete is purely down to them as an individual. Completion can be as quickly or as slowly as you wish within the 14 month tuition period. If you require additional time an extension may be available. Extensions are arranged at an additional cost as and when needed.

Format

This course is supplied in paper format and will be delivered directly to your chosen address. Students are able to complete their course assignments using a word processing programme and email them direct to the tutor. Once received tutors will reply to you directly. We do not accept course assignments via post.

Students can normally expect to receive delivery of their course materials via courier within 3 working days of enrolment being received. However, we would ask you to allow 7 working days.

We're focused on offering you the opportunity to study anywhere, anytime whether you want to take the next step in your career or learn new skills. You can study in the comfort of your own home, at an affordable price.
