-
When you leave school education doesn‘t have to be about going to college or university - you can study from the comfort of your own home through distance and e-learning programmes (may also be called home-study or correspondence courses).
-
Distance learning and e learning are becoming very popular, as you can study from your own home, on your own PC and in your own time - giving you the chance to combine learning with other responsibilities such as work and family in a flexible way.
-
Some courses offer the opportunity to be assessed (tests or exams) and gain a qualification and some are more hobby based - so you can learn purely for enjoyment or for a qualification.
-
Distance courses operate using the postal system (where they send you coursework, you complete it and post it back for assessment).
-
E-learning or online courses use the Internet and e-mail.
-
These days many distance learning courses use a combination of postal and Internet based materials and assessment.
