There is a old saying 'If you give a poor man a fish, you feed him for a day but if you teach him how to catch fish you feed him for a lifetime.'

The relevance of that in the context of home study is this: the facts which we are simply told might soon be forgotten, but if we have worked with, and really understand, something then it stays with us.

Our tutors will show you how to acquire the skills and knowledge you need and how to develop a genuine ability in the subject, then you can 'stand on your own two feet' in the exam. And because we treat you like an individual, that learning will be done in a way which suits you - and done at a pace dictated by you, not us!

As soon as we receive your Registration we send you some written work to do. Don't worry about preparing for this, it's for your tutor to assess your initial knowledge; from there they set out a suitable programme of study.

In main body of the Course you will be doing tasks & assignments and getting the marking & advice you need. The marking we provide is very detailed so you can learn, improve and move on.

At all stages you can - and should - ask questions of your tutor.

Nearer the time of the examinations you will do Past Papers.
