Our bespoke distance learning programmes embrace your individuality as a learner. We support your natural style of learning to ensure it flourishes and drives the successful outcome of your studies.

Our fusion of learning materials and learning methods, guarantee equal learning opportunities to all students regardless of their natural learning style preference. Our distance learning programmes meet the full requirements of auditory, visual, kinaesthetic and reflective learning ensuring stress free, optimum study for all. Using the right resources to meet your preferred learning style will halve the complexity of what you learn.

In addition to our expert tutor support, every student is offered individual ‘key to success’ coaching, which offers another unique dimension to achieving exam success. For our students, ‘key to success’ coaching is an essential support mechanism throughout their distance learning studies. Coaching allows the learner to develop personal skills and is a strong contributory factor in their exam success.

We also understand that knowing how to study effectively is not a natural process for many. Likewise, being able to learn at optimum levels, in all lessons, is a skill few people are born with. ‘Key to success’ coaching corrects this by supporting learners to understand and develop their own natural ability to learn. Getting the most from each lesson will help you to communicate effectively when asking for tutor support, which in turn will maximise the benefits gained.
