The only difference is the method of delivery. A student can do the course at fixed times during the day at college, or at their convenience wherever and whenever it suits them.
The great bonus of doing it online is that you don’t have to attend regular classes.

“… always a super-quick response!!! You guys are awesome :)” (Psychology)
“The help from my tutor was exceptional. I would recommend AOLL to anybody needing Access to HE” (Nursing)

The flexibility of an online course also means there is a year-round enrolment gateway. All applicants are able to choose their own start date. Based on a 12-month time-frame, the course study time is around 350 hours. There’s even an option to freeze the course for up to 12 months to ensure no study time is lost.

It also examines if students have demonstrated the necessary skills to achieve their grades, leading to the award of their Access to HE Diploma certificate.
