Course delivery

All of our courses are delivered online and in English.

When you register for one of our online courses, we give you access to our Online Learning Area. There, you can access your course materials, complete your assignments, and contact us with queries.

The OLA is also available as an app, so you can study on your smartphone or tablet.

Your learning material will be presented in formats, including:

• Microsoft Word documents
• ebooks
• links to videos and other articles

Our awarding body, ABC Awards, has praised our materials, saying they are … ‘easy to read Word documents which allow the inclusion of hyperlinks to articles, other websites’ tutorials and videos which enhance the learner journey and appeal to varying learning styles.’

Online study is completely flexible. You can enrol when you like and begin when you are ready.

You can study at a pace you’re completely comfortable with. This means you can fit your studies around your other commitments and your lifestyle.

Our online courses never expire, so you can take as long as you need. This is how they work:
