What are AAT Distance Learning Plus – Live Online Courses?
Distance Learning Plus – Live Online offer the advantages and structure usually found only in the classroom courses, but with the independence of studying from home – avoiding the time and cost of commuting to your college campus. If you have access to a computer or device with a webcam suitable for video conferencing, just click to join your scheduled virtual classroom and you are in – joining your tutor and the rest of the class remotely.
Choose from daytime, evening or weekend timetabled live lectures online, and talk to tutors during the class for live feedback.
