Why choose home study?
Work at your own Pace Our busy working lives and personal commitments often mean that you have limited free time. However, with home study you can set the pace to suit your lifestyle. You may work at a leisurely pace, or you may be so keen to get into the industry, that you prefer to complete the course in the minimum time possible. Either way, you set the pace that suits you, at the times that best fit your schedule.
Never miss a class or lecture Even with the best intentions, there are times when you just can't make a class due to sickness or other unavoidable circumstances. The beauty of home study is that you need never worry about missing a class, so you are guaranteed never to miss any vital information.
Save time, energy and money With home study you can learn in the comfort of your own home, saving you unnecessary costs and travel time. What’s more, listening to our CD’s can make good use of otherwise wasted time In cars or public transport.
An equal opportunity for you to achieve your goals If you have ever felt restricted by access or mobility problems, discrimination Issues or low financial resources, then you’ll appreciate how home study can provide a genuinely equal opportunity to everyone.

· Are there any additional costs not included within the course fee?

Q: Are there any additional costs not included within the course fee?

A: Our course fees represent excellent value for money, and everything is included in the price, we stress that there are no hidden costs. All of our course manuals have been specifically written for each programme; they are very thorough and contain all the information needed to complete the course. Additional reading lists are provided to students who wish to conduct further research but it should be reiterated that the course materials have been specifically created to be the best guide available and the manuals provided take the place of any "essential reading" list.

However, certain consumables are needed in order to complete your assignments. You will also need some presentation equipment to present your portfolio at the end of the course, but these should be seen as "tools of the trade", and you will continue to use them in your work on completion of this course. Students will obviously need to purchase standard stationery items themselves, and we would always encourage students to buy books and magazines to get as many ideas as possible. However, the course materials are very thorough and contain all the information needed to complete the course.

The postage and packaging costs are a one-time payment. Additional posting by the student can be sent through normal post and cost to the student is dependent on their particular location. All assignments are returned to the student at Limperts Academy's cost (with exception for the final project).
