Affordable Pathway to a University degree

Our diploma programmes offer affordable pathways to universities around the world as students are able to start their study journey with us at much more affordable fees and then progress to universities to complete their studies. Students will typically complete our Level 4 to 6 programmes and only spend a year obtaining a degree at a partner university.

Flexible and fast track learning pathway

Our diploma programmes offer significant flexibility due to our flexible online learning as well as flexible completion times. Students are able to study extended diploma programmes which compress two years of study into one year therefore meaning they could progress to complete their studies at a partner university much quicker than studying directly at university.

How we work

We use our proprietary PLAY Microleaerning methodology to deliver our online diplomas ensuring that our students are able to learn quicker and more effectively. Our model involves delivering educational content in small, focused chunks and it has several advantages that makes learning effective.

Increased Engagement - Using bite sized study materials, students are able to engage with their study content without getting fatigued thus enabling significantly more engagement when compared to traditional lectures.

Personalised Learning - Microlearning allows students to determine the pace of their study and encourages a more personalised learning journey.

Flexibility and convenience - Microlearning enables fitting the bite sized study materials around students' busy schedules thereby providing flexibility and convenience.

Enhanced Retention and Comprehension - Studying in short engaging bursts has been proven to enhance retention and comprehension as information is more easily absorbed.
