Download our Guide to Distance Learning

We have had distance learning delegates from all over the UK and from over 100 different countries around the world. Distance Learning is available anywhere in the UK and also overseas via our World Service.

One of the key benefits of distance learning is the flexibility. You can start when you want, choose when and where you study, and set your own pace. If you want to complete your course quickly you can have tutor support at the same time for as many modules as you need. If work or other pressures mean you need to slow your studies down you can extend your support and even upgrade to attend taught sessions.

We have a specialist Distance Learning Course Director, Kiran Kapur, who will help you get started on your studies, work out a personal study plan with you, be there to answer questions and help you keep your studies on track. In addition all three options include:

Specialist tutor support for each module - our tutors are practising marketing professionals who bring current business experience and proven teaching skills to our courses. Many are Chartered Marketers and they consistently deliver excellent pass rates. There is no limit on the number of times you may contact your tutor by Email.

Study Guides on CD-ROM allowing onscreen reading, highlighting, and annotation - making them a truly portable resource. The Guides include links to the syllabus, reading references, self test exercises, real life examples and assignments to be completed and marked by your tutor. Feedback from your tutor will help you monitor your progress and see how you can improve your assignment or exam technique.

Text Books for all UK based delegates, delivered to the workplace so that you do not have to spend time and resources finding the right materials. Recommended reading lists are provided for World Service delegates to access locally to keep their courier costs to a minimum.

On-Line Support through the College website. Once registered you will be given a password to enable you to log on to the delegate section of the website which gives you access to:

• On-line tutorials enabling you to discuss topics and ask questions of other delegates and your tutors
• Downloadable Files of our tutors' Lecture Notes
• Podcasts of lectures for you to listen to in your own time
• Past exam papers, assignments, specimen answers and examiners' reports
• Hotlinks to Marketing sites around the world and supporting sites for recommended textbooks
• Blog and Twitter for up-to-the-minute ideas and marketing news
• RSS Daily Marketing News
• A Bulletin Board - which allows you to form online syndicate groups or local support groups and ask questions

A key benefit of studying by distance learning with us is that we also teach courses throughout the year. If you want additional tuition and are able to travel to one of our Study Centres you can upgrade and attend taught sessions for all or some of your modules or attend revision classes for extra support prior to exams.

Upgrading to taught sessions costs just £100 + VAT per module. Revision sessions are £50 + VAT for a half day and £80 + VAT for a full day.

You should allow between 6 and 8 hours a week for home study if studying by distance learning.
