APL may allow students access to a course when they do not obviously meet the standard entrance requirements. This really depends on your professional and academic experience and needs. The Certificate does not require college attendance and is less demanding academically The Diploma is a bigger commitment and is more academically demanding. It also requires college attendance. Students may attend one day on a fortnightly or weekly basis.
Some modules are available as block study periods.
If you are interested in studying just one or more particular modules, you can register as an Associate Student, without committing yourself to the specific Certificate or Diploma award itself . You undertake the same work as students registered for the award, pay the same module costs and undertake the same assessments. St Martin's College has Campuses in Lancaster, Ambleside and Carlisle.
