Distance Learning

Distance Learning is a way of studying a subject flexibly, without needing to attend a college or University on a regular basis. Benfield ATT encourage ongoing learning and self-education at all levels - our experience tells us that this is more achieveable from the comfort of your own home...



Why consider Distance Learning?

Distance Learning is ideal for anyone who is unable to attend an educational institution on a regular basis. There are many reasons why this could be the case, including:

  • Contractual or family commitments make regular attendance at a college difficult
  • The subject you want to study is not available locally
  • Mobility or health issues make it difficult for you to get to a college regularly
  • You simply prefer to study in your own environment at times that suit you.

More and more people within Benfield ATT are choosing Distance Learning because of the flexibility and the vast range of quality courses and qualifications on offer.

You won't be isolated while you study! The Internet, e-mail fax and phone make this kind of education much easier.

If you want to study this way you will need to be self-motivated, although we help our people find the great deal of support available.



How do I find out more?

The Internet is a good starting place for researching courses. Your local reference library should also have useful information.
