Studying Online
Studying online with the Academy is an exciting experience. We offer everything you get at a face-to-face college but in a virtual environment. Course materials are offered through our virtual campus in a combination of podcasts, webinars and PDF texts. So rather than attending scheduled lectures at the same time every day, when it isn’t always convenient, you can fit your study in around your lifestyle and schedule.
Your course materials are offered in a variety of ways which keep it interesting and engaging. You will have a combination of written text, MP3 audio, and Video all of which is available across multiple devices and browsers. This means you can study using PC, MAC, iPad, Tablets and Smartphones. You will never have to worry about cumbersome folders and text books as everything can be stored on your chosen device.
With our Social Centre you don’t miss out on the interaction with other students on your course either, as brainstorming and socialising happen in our Forums on a regular basis. You can message other students, chat to tutors in the forums and access a wealth of information within our Online Library.
Any type of ‘study’ involves discipline, commitment and time. Whether you are attending lectures or studying by ‘E Learning’ you need to invest in it, in order to get the most out of it and successfully complete the course.
When it comes to ‘distance learning’ though, you need to be even more disciplined than with traditional face-face learning; with no lectures to attend and perhaps no ‘deadlines’ either, it can be easy for the days between study to easily slip from days, to weeks, to months.
Set Goals – when it comes to ‘Goal Setting’ be realistic and make them as specific as possible. Your over-riding goal is to complete the course and then perhaps, start a business or secure a job, but you then need to break this vision down into bite-size goals that will help you to get there. Once you have your ‘mini-goals’, stick to them. Make your study a priority in the same way you do the other things in your life.
A good way to go about setting your goals for study is to look through the material you have to work through. UKAWEP courses are divided into units, so determine the timeframe you want to complete a unit in – based on your goal for how long you want to take to complete the course. If it is one week set a day or night in the week to work on it and stick to it. Each unit is accompanied by an assignment, so again, set a time to conduct your research for the assignment and then a time to complete the assignment itself.
A note about goal setting; your motivation for doing any
type of study should be to learn, not just to get that piece of paper that says you do it. Pace yourself and be realistic about what you can achieve in what amount of time…you don’t want to be racing through the materials. If you find yourself doing this, revise your goals.

Many Academy students like to work at their own pace at a time and place that suits them. However, there are also many students who have a set time period that is much shorter with a goal of launching their business within the next 4-6 months. This type of study requires more structure and guidance from our tutors, which is why we have launched our Fast Track Flexible Study Program.
To enrol on the Fast Track Flexible Study Program all you need to do is click the Fast Track option on the enrolment form, and we will do the rest. To choose your Course and enrol click here. Alternatively if you want to find out more about how Fast Track can work for you speak to our Course Consultant, Zoe McKeown, on 0845 313 6023
