How Distance Learning Works

As a distance learning student, you can begin studying for your qualification at any time during the year. You will be supported all throughout your studies and will have excellent access to our tutors for assistance.

Once we have identified the best starting point for you, our course advisors will enrol you onto your distance learning course and arrange for your material to be sent to you. If you are based in the UK, your study material should reach you within five working days (if you reside overseas this may take longer) and will be sent via courier. Therefore, when you place an order with us you will be asked to provide a suitable delivery address as all packages will need to be signed for.

Once you have received your material, you just need to start working through it at a pace that suits you best.

Depending on the package ordered, your distance learning package will be accompanied by a student handbook, personalised work programme and a paper specific study guide. These are designed to assist you in planning your workload.

If you encounter any difficulties in working through the material, then you can contact one of our tutors who will be more than happy to help you. Enquiries can be sent to our tutors via email or by telephone. Our tutors are available:

• Monday to Thursday: 9am to 8pm.
• Friday: 8.30am to 5pm.
• Saturday: 9am to 12pm (ACCA & CIMA).

To ensure that all students are able to progress through their studies as swiftly as possible, we aim to respond to all queries within 48 working hours.

Throughout the course of your studies, you will receive regular newsletters from us which include a variety of topics such as exam tips and information and also useful articles which may help your understanding further.
