Want to study but can’t find the time to travel regularly to College?
Online learning is a way of learning remotely without attending lessons in a classroom or having regular face-to-face contact with a tutor. This means you can study at work, on the go or in your own home, at a time that suits you, with the freedom to revisit areas of the course as little or as much as you like. We offer a wide range of fully funded (free) online learning courses, making it easier than ever to upskill in an area of your choice. These courses range from 6 to 12 weeks.
As part of your online learning programme, you will be
provided with all of the support required to ensure your learning is
successful. You will be assigned an Online Learning Marker who will
review your assessments and feedback to you on an ongoing basis. In addition we
have an Online Learning Team who can support in all aspects of your
learning journey. You will also have access to high-quality learning materials
that offer all of the information required to be successful.
