Distance Learning
Choose when and where to study with a free distance learning course. Aimed at adults over 24, our accredited home learning courses might mean the difference between landing your dream job, or staying stuck in a career rut.
The College does not charge a fee for the course, but you will have to pay £125 if you do not complete it. The courses are only offered free to UK residents .
You need to complete a pre-course assessment online. Once you have completed your pre-course assessment and enrolment we will post your course materials, provide log in details and instructions for accessing your online account.
