Which helps you plan your learning and prepares you for compiling research and writing reports .
|
2 . RECOGNITION OF
PRIOR LEARNING ( RPL )
Where you use the knowledge , skills and experience you ’ ve gained from training courses , employment , voluntary work , private study and previous qualifications at college and university .
3 . DISTANCE LEARNING MODULES
You can select distance learning modules from our fixed curriculum to complement your work-based projects . Examples include : Project Management , Environmental Management and Organisations and their People .
|
4 . WORK-BASED
LEARNING PROJECTS
Although these projects involve learning new skills and knowledge , you ’ ll do most of the work for these during your usual working hours .

How you ’ ll be taught and assessed
Most courses are delivered via our interactive virtual learning environment – Moodle . This includes online tutorials , lectures , webinars and discussion sessions , allowing you to study at a time that suits you .
|
You ’ ll work with us to select a combination of work-based projects and distance learning modules that increase your knowledge and skills .
Your submission deadlines will still be set around the academic year , but you ’ ll set some of the dates yourself – especially for work-based projects .
|
Course length
Learning at Work courses start in September or January , and students can generally complete their qualification within one to three years .
|
But you can use Recognition of Prior Learning ( RPL ) to complete your course quicker and can use RPL for up to twothirds of the credits you need .
