Distance Learning

Distance learning offers many benefits for those people who are time sensitive and who aren’t located within close proximity of a learning centre. It is also ideal for people who prefer to study in the comfort of their own home. Distance learning is very flexible as students are able to fit their study around their own individual circumstances which means that it’s both convenient and paced at an appropriate speed for the individual.

Online tutors provide guidance and encouragement and therefore distance learning offers the same continuous support as academic institutions, along with saving time from commuting. Online courses can also be a significantly more cost effective option compared to those offered in external venues but this should be a considered choice and students should bear in mind that distance learning naturally has a lack of social interaction which may provide difficult for certain individuals.

Chrysalis Courses Online requires no previous educational qualifications making them an attractive option for those looking to change their career or to complement existing learning. With study materials available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Chrysalis students benefit from the luxury of studying at any time and at any location, which allows for a more effective learning style.

As well as developing expertise in a specific subject matter, online learning students benefit from acquiring a range of transferable skills that many employers find attractive. To succeed on a distance learning course, students should be motivated, self-disciplined, organised and possess strong time management skills. Each of these attributes contributes to further development within the field.
