open and blended learning
Unable to come to college, but want to study for a brighter future? We have a range of courses available through our open & blended learning programme that allows you to study flexibly and at a time and place that suits you. We offer a variety of single units, PDA and HNC group awards in subjects such as Accounting, Business, Administration, Engineering, Electronics and Nautical. For the more practical courses you would be required to attend College for some of the time. Assessments must also be undertaken in College under the appropriate conditions. As an open & blended learning student you will be assigned an Open Learning Advisor and an open learning tutor who can provide advice and support with your studies, via phone, email or letter throughout your study time.
Study options include individual units such as Maths, Communication, IT Application Software, Recording Financial Information, Cost Accounting, IT in Business, Engineering Principles, Mathematics for Engineering or you can embark on a group award; a Professional Development Award (PDA), Higher National Certificate (HNC) or Higher National Diploma (HND). As a college student you are free to attend any of our centres in Fraserburgh, Ellon, Peterhead or Macduff, and use the resources there, including a PC and printer.
You may be eligible for an Individual Learning Account offered by the Scottish Government to help pay for your studies. See http://www.ilascotland.org.uk for more information.
