How will I learn

The focus of the course is firmly on independent study using TEAMS. A variety of resources will be available to cover all the topics required. These include: • Online live classes through Teams. • Tutorial videos created especially for you by your tutor. • Online assignments and exam style questions. • Peer and tutor support. • PowerPoint presentations • Online quizzes to check your knowledge.

What's next

After the introductory course you may wish to study GCSE or Functional skills. GCSE English is required in many professions such as teaching or nursing. It can also lead to A Levels and is a good foundation for enrolling on Access to Higher Education.
