Distance learning will give you access to weekly online tutorial sessions with your tutor and an online learning programme that is tailored to meet your learning needs. You will need access to a computer/laptop and the internet to complete these. Exams will be carried out face to face following government advice and safety measures.

Classroom learning will see you join fellow learners in a classroom environment for face-to-face sessions with your tutor and the change to socialise and make new friends while learning.

Blended learning is a mixture of face-to-face classes and online learning. You will attend sessions in-person with your tutor every week as well as completing a minimum of two hours of your online programme each week in your own time.
