Distance learning is simply online learning.
It is similar to studying at college but you will study in your own time, at your own pace with all resources available online alongside the support and guidance from specialist tutors.
If work or home commitments are preventing you from coming to college, our range of distance learning courses are a perfect fit to suit individual lifestyles.
Our distance learning courses cover a wide range of study topics including Counselling Skills, Business Administration, Alcohol Awareness, Understanding Autism plus many more.
With over 40 courses to choose from, the opportunities are almost endless.
