Dumfries Campus, Online learning

Content

Almost all of your lessons will be online live through Teams and through the online learning site. There will be a few occasions when you will be asked to come to college on set dates for workshops. A large percentage of students on this programme work, or have caring responsibilities, so lessons are recorded through Teams.

This is an exciting, challenging and academic programme potentially leading to further study at HNC level. Attention to detail, a thirst for learning, and a desire to work with older adults to enable independence will be essential for those who apply for this programme. You will gain insight into academic theories around behaviour and society alongside a sound understanding of the values and principles as well as legislation.

You will spend considerable time learning through the website, live online lessons and additional time will be needed to study out-with the college hours.
