Distance Learning

Distance learning is a self-study course.  Materials and learning resources are sent to students via post or email and students must complete the set tasks according to the course schedule.

This freedom not to attend lectures or examinations at set times makes distance learning courses perfect for students with families or careers to manage, as the student sets their own pace and timetable of study. However, these types of courses require a lot of motivation as students must manage their time and meet deadlines with very little support.
