This is a free education helpline that can assist you with learning and career enquiries. The Adviser will give you information over the telephone or you can request information in writing or in braille. If you have not studied for some time or want to know what other blind and partially sighted people have achieved locally, it may be worth contacting your local voluntary society for blind and partially sighted people. Telephone the RNIB Helpline on 0845-7669999 for details of your nearest society. You may find it helpful to find out about courses offered by your local college.
Some colleges provide their prospectus in tape, braille and disk format.
If you wish to pursue a particular course, contact the Disability Co-ordinator at the College to discuss your support needs. Your local library will keep a collection of prospectuses and course directories. These can also be located via the careers service. You study alone at your own pace but a certain amount of support from a tutor is usually available on most open or distance learning packages. Your public reference library will have further details about open learning courses.
