Whether you’re aiming for personal growth, continuing professional development, or simply diving into an area of interest, our courses offer the perfect opportunity to expand your knowledge.

Distance Learning through Shrewsbury College offers a range of recognised qualifications that could be what you need to improve your career prospects and get your ideal job.  Allowing you to study where and when you want and fit your studies around your lifestyle.

Flexible learning

All you need is a commitment, as Distance Learning is not necessarily an easy option, especially if you are already working full-time or have family and personal commitments. We offer specially prepared course materials, which, combined with help and support from your assessor, make your learning experience easily manageable.

FREE home study courses

All NCFE / CACHE Level 2 courses are free* if you meet the eligibility criteria. Many courses have flexible start dates so that you can enrol at almost any time during the year and each course’s length is dependent on the number of modules. You will have an individual study plan to help you fit your studies into your daily lifestyle, allowing you to meet the deadlines for submitting assignments.

Signing up is quick and easy, just find the course you want to study and register your interest on the form (having completed the postcode checker). We will then check your eligibility and contact you with further details.
