Distance Learning

Terms & Conditions

IMPORTANT:

Since August 2019, funding decisions for education have become devolved to local government in several counties of England. This transfer of funding from central government to combined authorities has created fundamental changes to areas that we as an education and training provider can operate in.

We regret that we are no longer able to provide Level 2 courses for free, to the following combined authority areas: Greater Manchester, Liverpool City, Cambridge & Peterborough, Tees Valley, West Midlands & North of Tyne Combined Authority (NTCA), Greater London Authority (GLA), West Yorkshire Combined Authority and Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield Combined Authority.

If you are unsure if your post code falls into one of the combined authorities, please email distancelearningteam@btc.ac.uk and we’ll be able to help you.

Eligibility for Level 2 Distance Learning courses:

  • Learners must be aged 19 years or over as of the current academic year. 
  • Must have lived in the EU for the last three years
  • Must currently reside in England, in a postal code outside of Greater Manchester, Liverpool City, Cambridge & Peterborough, Tees Valley  the West Midlands, North of Tyne, Greater London, West Yorkshire Combined Authority and Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield Combined Authority.

If aged 24+ no qualifications are required.
