What are the advantages of Distance Learning?
|
There are many advantages to Distance Learning, but the main advantages have to be cost and flexibility. When studying via Distance Learning, there is no need to attend a classroom, so there is no waste of time or other resources spent commuting to specific location for each class. Distance learning is also a great advantage for those with restricted mobility. Distance Learning allows you to study at own pace, as quickly or slowly as you please, and of course the costs are also a lot less! |
|
Why are your course fees smaller than other companies?
Distance Learning allows smaller fees for you because we do not have the large overheads that some over companies have. We do not spend thousands of pounds on expensive television and radio campaigns and do not employ a large sales team.
Are the courses tutor supported?
You can get help from your dedicated tutor 7 days a week by email, or post. Some courses also come with telephone support.
