How Online Learning Works
FPOnline learning gives you the option to learn at a time and place that suits you, without attending classes in college. You can fit it around work, family commitments and hobbies.
Some courses have submission deadlines, but we can offer flexibility with extensions. We also have set completion periods, which you’ll be notified about in advance.
All you need is internet access and a device such as a PC, laptop or tablet. Alternative formats are available.
Most courses run year-round, including over the summer.
You’ll be supported by a friendly team and have access to student benefits such as a student card, Office 365 and library services.
Do you work full time or part time? Are you short of time to attend classes? Not able to travel to college? Need flexible childcare options?
Do you want to build confidence or get back into education? Want to learn something new?
Online Learning could be for you.
We offer flexible start dates, a wide range of courses and dedicated support throughout your learning journey.
