Is home study for me?

Home study isn’t for everyone. We want you to be sure our courses are suitable for you, before you enrol.

To help you decide, here are some of the advantages and disadvantages of home study:

Advantages

You can work at your own pace and when it suits you - no timetables to worry about
You won't waste time and money getting to and from lessons
You won't have to worry about parking, vehicle security or personal security
You have quick, immediate access to a tutor - no need to book an appointment. This is especially useful in the run-up to exams
Marked work is returned to you quickly - usually within 24 hours
You can start the course at any time of the year
You can keep your existing job - the course will fit conveniently alongside your working and lifestyle arrangements. Many of our students are doing the course as part of a career change
You can take time out from the course if something unexpected crops up
You can do the course in any part of the world where there is internet access
Coaching and tuition never stop - we stay with you until you pass your exams and get a suitable job
Home study is usually cheaper than college-based courses

You have to work on your own – you won’t have any classmates to help you and to socialise with
You have to be self-disciplined and keep up to date with your studies
You have to be motivated – the initiative to study comes from you. We don’t chase you
You don’t get face-to-face tuition
You don’t have access to facilities like gymnasiums, libraries etc that you find in a college
