Frequently Asked Questions

How does distance learning work?

A. Distance learning offers access and choice to learners of any age and ability. Therefore, it is up to you when and how you learn. Most adult learners want the flexibility to be able to control their learning so as to cope with other demands in their lives. It also allows people to overcome traditional barriers to learning, such as people at home with small children or those who are in full-time paid employment.

Are the courses tutor supported?

A. Yes, most of the courses are tutor supported even though they are self study courses.

When can I start the course?

A. You can start the course at any time we do not have any set enrolment dates.

Is the course work done on line or sent via the internet?

A. No, the courses come on CD-ROM so the work is done off-line using your PC. Assignments are in the course manuals so there are no online costs incurred.

How long do the courses take?

A. You progress at your own pace so you set the time it takes to complete a course.

Why are your courses cheaper than the large companies?

A. We do not send sales people to your house and our overheads are much lower. Some of the top companies provide exactly the same materials as we do and even with classroom led training you still have to study at home before attending the centres, we just deliver the classroom to you and provide support when you need it.

Will I get a job at the end of the course?

A.The courses are designed to provide you with the necessary skills to gain employment in your chosen area of study.

Can I pay by instalments ?

A.Yes, You can pay by up to 9 monthly instalments by credit card or debit card unless you are resident outside of the UK.

What if my chosen course is the wrong one?

A. By discussing your training requirements with us you will not be on the wrong course. However we will try to change your course to another if this situation happens.

Can I take more than one course at a time?

A. Yes you can take as many as you wish but we would advise against this.

How do I get help with my course work?

A. You can get help 7 days per week by email or telephone (during office hours) as long as the exact nature of the problem is explained and the appropriate course information is provided.

Will I get a qualification at the end?
