Online learning

As part of our 19+ adult offer we have an array of online courses for you to study. Our online learning courses could be the perfect fit for you as they offer a convenient and practical way to gain a qualification.

"I really have enjoyed the online course! The feedback has been fair and helped push me a little more when I needed it, which helped me think more, I've been recommending it to colleagues who I work with as a qualification to receive!"
- Team Leading online learning student

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.
