The days of being limited to learning in a classroom are over. There are so many options to consider these days, from blended learning to flexible study and everything in between. Here at DLC Training, we work with accredited institutes to ensure we provide their courses in a way to suit a wide variety of needs.

 

Flexible Online Learning and Support 

Strict schedules can be tricky for those in employment with regular commitments and responsibilities. In more traditional learning settings, classes are likely to clash with busy schedules. This can have a negative impact on learning and progression.  

Online study provides people with the flexibility of setting their own pace. This means that no matter how busy you are, all materials and resources are readily available whenever you are ready to learn.

You also have the flexibility to speak with your support advisor as and when you require. Because your support is provided virtually, you can receive as much one-to-one support as you require throughout your learning journey.

A Wide Range of Levels to Choose From

We understand that investing in your future is not just a one-time thing. People continue to learn and develop throughout their entire careers. We provide many levels for each of our courses so that no matter what stage of your career you are at, we’ll have a course suitable to support you at that stage, and the next.

A Variety of Course Topics

It’s never too late to follow your passions and completely change your career. We provide courses covering a wide range of topics, so if you are thinking of learning something new, an introductory level course will certainly provide you with a good first step in this new chapter of your career.  You can find out more about what courses we offer by clicking HERE.

Recognised Qualifications 

All our courses are fully accredited and regulated by Ofqual.  Employers value these qualifications as it shows your commitment, dedication, and ability. It also shows that you are in a position to succeed in a specific role.

Build a Network

With access to the DLC Learning Hub and social media, there are plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow students and discuss learning tips and ideas, and the various topics of study throughout your studies.

Gain a Qualification Quicker

Because students can set their own pace for learning, they are able to work through their studies as quickly as they like. You can also enrol at any time of the year as you are not restricted by academic term timetables, which means that you could have your course finished before those studying similar courses at college or university have even started. 

Cost Effective 

Studying via distance learning tends to be much more affordable than classroom-based study, due to lower fees and open educational resources with no additional charges. Students also save money on transportation costs and in some cases night stays.  

Our distance learning courses are an extremely cost-effective way to achieve an accredited qualification without needing to apply for a student loan. We have a variety of payment options including interest-free monthly payments, so we can work out an affordable plan to suit your personal requirements.

Take a Break

During your studies anything could happen; you could move house, receive a work promotion that you need to take time to focus on, or take time out of work to go travelling. If you feel like you need to take a break from your course you have the option to put it on hold. We provide hold periods of 3, 6, 9 or even 12 months, that students can utilise at any time, for any reason. This means you don’t need to put off studying until after the next big life event, and can instead begin studying as soon as possible knowing you can take a break if and when required.

Help the Planet 

When you study via distance learning, your resources are online, you speak with your tutor online or via telephone and complete assessments virtually (with some exceptions). This means that when you study with DLC Training your carbon footprint is significantly less than what it would be for traditional learning.

You’re in Control 

It’s easy to stay motivated when you are enjoying what you’re learning and you’re in control of your own success. By providing you with the tools and support to succeed, you’ll work through your course by being in the driving seat and utilising your resources at DLC Training as and when you require. There’s no pressure to study at specific times, so you can relax knowing you don’t need to fit your busy schedule around the course, the course fits around you.
