Open Learning

Why is Open Learning the right choice

for you? Previously, many people have

been excluded from learning because

they were unable to attend regular day

or evening classes due to personalcircumstances or other commitments.

Open Learning courses remove the

attendance requirements of traditional

classes, opening up opportunities

to those who have previously been

excluded. This means you can arrange

your study time to suit your schedule.

Part-time Study

Part-time courses are ideal if you want to

come to college, be part of a class and

have regular face to face contact with

teaching staff. Part-time courses are taught

in a variety of ways and can include 1 or 2evenings per week or day release. Each

course in this guide will state the study

modes available.
