What is Distance Learning?
   

Distance learning is a system of study which you can use without having to attend a series of lessons or lectures, given in the traditional way at a college of training canter. It is a system in which you can study on your own, at your own pace and at a time and place of your choice. You no longer have to spend more time traveling to an evening class than actually studying. You are not held up by the slowest member of the class nor left trailing in the wake of the most knowledgeable. If you want to study in your home, at weekends, whilst traveling, before, during or after work, you can. If you want to study at regular times, or fit it between all your other commitments, you can.

 
   
To enable you to do this, the procedures of the Diploma in Cosmetic Science have chosen the most appropriate form of presentation, be it print or CD Rom, in order to produce the most effective and efficient self-introductional package possible. Furthermore, for some modules a specially designed Practical Activity Kit is provided to enable you to undertake important practical work in your own home - or wherever you choose to do it.
   
In this way we have tried to give you maximum flexibility in controlling your learning while satisfying the needs of the industry and the Society. All the materials you need to study the course, be they books, articles and reports, chemicals, models or CD Roms, are provided.
