how it works

Distance learning is a way of learning remotely without attending lessons in a classroom or having regular face to face contact with a tutor, which means you can study at your own pace, 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 without having to keep the same pace as others.

David Perry
Level 2 Certificate in the Principles of Dementia Care

“I felt that the whole thing was absolutely superb for me. From my point of view, all the resources were there, everything I needed, and if I needed something I would follow up with reading up on reference points. It was perfect for me, in fact I found myself going off on a tangent reading stuff, piling in knowledge!”
