This means you have no final examination-hall stress. However, to successfully complete this course you have to prove to your tutor that you have a sound understanding of the lessons.

Unlike other Distance Learning Colleges, we impose no time limits or place any pressure on you to complete your course assignments within a certain time frame. Your course will not expire and it will not become invalid until you have successfully completed it. All that we ask is that you inform the College if you are intending to take a break from studying for a period of 6 months or more.

If you would like to pay for your course by instalments, we do offer an affordable payment plan that allows you to spread the cost of your course over a period of three months. When you enrol on your course you simply pay the first instalment followed by a structured monthly repayment plan. What's more, the total amount payable over the terms period is no more than the total normal price of the course, thus the APR = 0%. Please use the link to instalments for further details or to enrol using this method.

There will be no need for you to attend any physical location like a test centre or our campus. So whatever your specialty and wherever your location, you are bound to find the perfect course.

After each module there will be an assignment paper which needs to be completed and submitted to your personal tutor for marking. This method of continual assessment ensures that your personal tutor can consistently monitor your progress and provide you with assistance throughout the duration of the course.
