* Unlike traditional schools, colleges or universities, there are no
terms, semesters, or specified intake dates for our uniquely flexible
distance education courses. Our system of continuous enrolment means that
our students can enrol on any day and at any time of the year. This allows
our students the freedom to plan their studies to fit in with their
lifestyle or work commitments.
** Please note that this is only an approximate figure and is dependant
upon how much time you can dedicate to your studies and also how well you
grasp the learning concepts in the course material. Furthermore, at the end
of each module there is a question paper which needs to be completed and
returned to your personal tutor.
