The course material may also be copied and saved to a USB stick, as well as downloading, printing and binding the lessons into a folder for you to organise. CD’s are also an excellent choice for people who have a computer but do not have internet access or have a slow connection.

Students can watch videos, read notes and study illustrations on the computer screen then complete self assessment quizzes to gauge their learning.

The student is guided by a printed study guide and accompanying materials as well as advice and feedback from tutors.
