We recommend 6 – 8 hours per week to help you complete your assessments and the course on time, so you don’t fall behind.
We check you’re up to date with your learning. If you become inactive for four weeks or more, you’ll receive a supportive email and SMS text to check on you. If you begin to struggle with regular study, please let us know.
If you’re flagged as an inactive student, we will call you twice to check that everything is okay.
There are no enrolment fees for Level 1 or Level 2 courses, meaning you can gain a qualification from the comfort of your own home at no cost. For Level 3 courses, you may have to pay an enrolment fee. If you’re eligible, you might be able study for free. Please email studentfunding@bathcollege.ac.uk for more details.
We understand. Sharing your personal information can be worrying, but we need a few details for your enrolment. We need these to confirm to the government that you’re eligible to study and access Adult Skills funding. Please ask our team if you have any concerns about your data security.
Yes, you’ll receive one in the post after you complete the course, so you can add an accredited course to your CV when you apply for jobs. Please make sure all your information, like your address, is up to date.
We understand that not everyone is an ICT wizard. Our accessible learning environment is clear and simple. Distance learning courses at Bath College help everyone thrive – no matter your computer skills.
You can study on tablets or smartphones, but we recommend using a computer. Larger screens make for a smoother learning experience. Access to the internet is essential for your learning.
We can’t accept handwritten assessments or any physical copies of work. This can delay your learning and make it difficult to complete your course on time.
All course learning content is available to download and print for your own use on the learning platform. And because we have a high number of learners, we can’t offer to print and post this for you.
You’ll have support from your assigned tutor and our Learning Support Coordinator to help you study and plan progress.
This means you’ll have the same access and opportunities as our on-campus learners, helping you complete your course without any worries. You are not alone.
You must have lived in the UK or the European Economic Area for at least three years to secure a funded place on this course.
Visa and immigration rules can sometimes be confusing. Please email info@bathcollege.ac.uk, and we will explain how it works.
