Full-time study generally offers three main advantages. A four-week intensive course, for example, is normally undertaken without job distractions. There is immediate access to resources, human as well as library, such as journals, specialist publications and articles, and support from other members of the course. Some might perhaps imagine that a distance course is in some way inferior to a presence-taught course, but this is most definitely not the case.
Distance learning can prove extremely advantageous.
There are many reasons for choosing a distance programme, but let me list just eight. The opportunity to follow a very substantial course of professional training at a fee usually lower than normal. The possibility to work from home at your own pace during the course. This is particularly useful for those in employment who seek a course of professional enrichment, but cannot afford a period away from their regular employment. The opportunity to continue working and earning whilst following a distance-training programme.
