Distance Learning with Shrewsbury College gives you more flexibility, allowing you to study where and when you want.

Flexible learning

A qualification could be what you need to improve your career prospects and get your ideal job, yet you may be unable to attend college regularly.

Distance Learning with Shrewsbury College gives you more flexibility, allowing you to study where and when you want. All you need is a commitment, as Distance Learning is not necessarily an easy option, especially if you are already working full-time. We offer specially prepared course materials, which, combined with help and support from your subject teacher, make your learning experience easily manageable.

FREE home study courses

All NCFE / CACHE Level 2 courses are free* if you meet the eligibility criteria.
