Lakes College West Cumbria has teamed up with one of the UK’s premier home study providers, UK Open Learning, to offer distance learning to those who prefer to study from home at their own pace and in their own time.

This partnership has ensured that the college can now offer an extra 50+ courses to those who are unable to study at the Lillyhall campus.  The courses available cover a wide variety of topics from Starting up Your Own Business, Children’s and Social Studies through to Criminology, Property Development and Animal Care. Virtually all the courses are certificated by the national awarding body NCFE, thus ensuring that students have a sound learning experience.

The college’s Partnership and External Relations Manager, Clare McGuinness, said; “We are delighted to be able offer even more flexibility in our courses through our new partnership with UK Open Learning.  This opens doors to those who are restricted by commitments such as childcare or travel, or even those who would feel more comfortable studying from home in their own environment. We have been extremely impressed with UK Open Learning’s successful history and by the quality of their programmes and we look forward to the development of this new venture”.

Students can start on one of the distance courses offered through Lakes College anytime of the year with materials being delivered straight to their door and a personal tutor on hand to answer any questions.
