Learners are given detailed feedback on their work by their assessors. Any reasonable adjustments to assessment arrangements are made on a person-by-person basis.

Our distance learning courses are planned to meet both local and national skills needs. These courses are ideal as additional development for professionals, or as introductions to topics and issues which are relevant to finding work or further training. Distance learning students are able to access careers advice via the college's Student Services team. Several of our courses complement each other and learners are able to study up to three courses each academic year (1st August-31st July).

Our online distance learning courses are funded via the national Adult Skills Fund and the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority (WEMCA). Our enrolment fees follow the schema below:

• Level 1 and Level 2 - No enrolment fees for learners who are at least partially eligible for funding and do not live in a combined authority (apart from WEMCA).
• Level 3 - Funding is still available, but is subject to eligibility. Some learners may need to pay an enrolment fee.

Email us at distancelearning@bathcollege.ac.uk if you have any questions about fees and funding.

Remote distance learners are afforded access to every kind of support available to on campus learners. This includes Welfare support and additional learning support. We have a dedicated Learning Support coordinator who can offer one-to-one support to learners. This can be for a myriad of reasons, ranging from disability, learning difficulties, or just needing some help after being out of education for a long time. There is no need to have a formal diagnosis of any condition to access this support.
