Where, when and for how long?
Studying by distance learning is extremely flexible. It gives you a huge amount of control over where you study, when you can start, and how long your studies will take you. You can study anywhere in the world, start at any time and study a subject over a few months or up to two years – whichever suits you best.
Although like our other students you can study at home, at work, on a train, in a library – almost anywhere you like for most of the time – some of the time you are going to need to have a study room where you can set up your equipment and use a keyboard undisturbed.
You can begin your studies whenever you like. The courses in this section require lots of practice for you to develop your skills, so while studying through the course book and doing the activities may only take, for example, 50 or 60 hours, you may find you double that with your tutor-marked assignments. You'll probably also benefit from setting aside a few minutes for reading and/or practice most days so that you don't "go rusty".
