Diploma in Primary Education

What to expect from the Distance Learning Experience...

Studying for a degree by Distance Learning is a managerial experience in itself.  It is not intended to be a puzzle, but requires that students develop certain skills such as time management, collect and organize their own notes, produce a regular output of written work and assimilate lecturers' feedback on their assignments in a positive and productive manner.

The advantages of Distance Learning include the fact that you work at your own pace, the course is flexible, it breaks down the traditional barriers of location, inflexible schedules and impractical deadlines.  Distance Learning gives students access to learning materials in their home or place of work.
