Online and blended learning options
A typical Access to HE diploma programme may be studied for a year full-time or two years part-time. Programmes offered during the day are generally organised to allow students to fit their study around their home, family and work commitments and can be delivered in a traditional classroom setting, wholly online, or as a blended learning course depending on the particular diploma and centre.
Online Access to HE Diplomas
Through a partnership with Pearltech UK Ltd, many of our Access to HE diplomas can be delivered fully online through highly innovative and leading industry Pearl software. Centres can use the platform to tailor the content of their chosen diploma course. Alternatively, many of our online Access to HE units can be used as part of a blended learning programme.
Recognised AIM centres any college or training provider can have access to the Pearl system to deliver our Access to HE Diplomas as part of a blended learning or fully online programme.
