Blended Learning - The best of both worlds

Online and On Campus courses powered by Mindful Education.

Online and On Campus – the best of both worlds

Online, you will study award-winning video lessons, which are available on demand, and can be viewed from your phone, tablet or computer – meaning you can choose how, when and where you want to study. Each lesson lasts for around 45 minutes and is accompanied by animations and motion graphics to bring concepts to life. Practice questions, downloadable lesson materials and interactive case studies help to enhance the learning experience further and learners should expect to spend between 3 and 6 hours studying independently online each week (depending on your level of study).

On campus, you benefit from regular classes with a college tutor – without having to commit to attending multiple evenings each week. Your tutor will review what you have learnt during your online lessons and will be on hand to provide guidance on progress and assessment. Regular discussion with classmates will help to reinforce key points while also providing the additional support and motivation that comes from being part of a group.

Online Distance learning

Funding Available  

We can offer a range of funding and loans to help you cover the cost of your study:

  • Level 2 – our courses are part-funded, significantly reducing the cost
  • Level 3 – accounting courses are fully funded for eligible learners (those without a full Level 3 qualification or who are earning less than the national living wage)
  • Level 3 and Level 4 – Advanced Leaner Loans are available and you will not have to pay anything back until you’re earning over £26,575 a year.

Please ask a member of college staff for more information.

Blended learning means I can have a good work-life-family balance. If I didn’t study in this way, then I wouldn’t be able to do my qualifications.
