Distance Learning Courses Are you looking to take the next step in your career or deepen your knowledge of a particular subject? Distance learning gives you the flexibility to study when and where you want, at your own pace. We have over 20 courses starting throughout the year, covering a variety of areas, including: • Business and Leadership • Mental Health • Health and Social Care • Children’s Health and Wellbeing “I wanted to complete a course that would give me the knowledge to progress into a career in the mental health sector. Distance learning was the perfect choice for me, as I couldn’t commit to being in a classroom at the time. I was working six days a week and my shifts were never the same, as well as helping to care for my Nan. I was able to complete the course from the comfort of my own home, with the added bonus of full tutor support. I found the course extremely helpful; I have personally suffered from mental illness and this course almost became my own personal therapy. It has given me more of an understanding about myself, as well as the knowledge to help others. Completing this course has definitely helped towards my career and I’m now pursuing a role as a Healthcare Assistant.” Paul Level 2 Certificate in Awareness of Mental Health Problems Paul’s Story
