Tutors

Our Tutors are selected for their ability to make things simple and straight forward for our students. It is important that our students have access to support and advice when required. One of the biggest concerns for students looking to enrol onto a home learning programme is the level of support on offer.

The majority of our courses come with full unlimited support from Monday to Friday 9am - 5pm. Excluding self study courses!

We offer a variety of ways in which our students can correspond with the college. Choose between using the telephone, email, freepost or even live chat to correspond with us. You can use them all if you want to.

Tutor details are normally provided inside your study pack or allocated once we receive your first assignment for grading. We aim to provide continual support from the same tutor throughout your course. We don’t like to chop and change tutors. We want you to build a rapport and confidence within your chosen field.

Your tutor will have a wealth of knowledge for you to tap into once you decide to enrol. Never be embarrassed to ask questions. No matter how silly you think it might be, if it’s stopping you progressing please contact us. We really have heard it all before. Most minor questions can be answered by the support team using the live chat button. This will give you an instant response to any question you may have. This is a fantastic tool to use even before enrolling and can help tremendously when researching which course to finally enrol onto.

For each assignment you submit you will receive a written report and grade via email or through the post. Reports can contain helpful hints and tips to help you improve as you progress. We have had tremendous feedback from our students relating to tutor support and guidance. See some of the comments on our feedback page. We are more than happy to include comments of your own once you complete.
