As use of cyber technology continues to become more commonplace in society unfortunately so do the activities of those who wish to cause harm. This course is a great way to begin forming an understanding of what cyber security is and the key issues surrounding it such as the motivations of different kinds of hackers and other cyber criminals. We would recommend this course to learners who are interested in working in the areas of data protection , ICT systems and web design.
Learners start and complete our distance learning courses every day, all year, so there is no need to wait until term begins. The courses are designed to be ready when you are, so you can fit it into your schedule.
Study takes place in an online virtual learning environment (VLE) which allows convenient and flexible learning. We recommend spending 6-8 hours studying per week to ensure that you meet your assignment deadlines.
Learners are paired with an experienced assessor and they submit work and are assessed online using the virtual learning environment e-Assessor Pro. Learners are given detailed feedback on their work by their assessors. Any reasonable adjustments to assessment arrangements are made on a person-by-person basis.
Our distance learning courses are planned to meet both local and national skills needs. These courses are ideal as additional development for professionals, or as introductions to topics and issues which are relevant to finding work or further training. Distance learning students are able to access careers advice via the college's Student Services team. several of our courrses complement each other and learners are able to study up to three courses each academic year (1st August-31st July).
Distance learning relies on communication between you and the college. We appreciate that learners with busy lives might face challenges in keeping up with their courses. All we ask is that learners stay in touch with us. Learners who don't risk being withdrawn from their courses.
Our online distance learning courses are funded via the national Adult Skills Fund and the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority (WEMCA). Our enrolment fees follow the schema below:
