When should I enrol and what if I enrol late?

Courses are updated after every set of exams - we expect to have updated courses ready by the middle of March for the July exams and by the middle of September for the February exams. You can enrol for distance learning at any time.

If you do enrol late, we will speed up the mailings to ensure you have all the course material in good time.

How do I enrol?

To enrol for one of our Distance learning courses you can either:
1.Print out the enrolment form for the course you want and send it together with a cheque to Campbell's College.
2.Send or fax the form to us with a request that we invoice your employer.
3.Email us - Tell us which subjects you want, your name, address & phone number.

How many subjects should I study?

The average is two subjects for each exam sitting but some students are quite happy working through one at at time whilst others attempt three. The choice is yours!

How soon after I enrol will I receive my first mailing?

Once course updates are complete, we aim to despatch your first mailing within two working days of receiving your application. We can send to either your work or home address, just let us know which you would prefer. We try to send an email to let you know your material has been posted.
Further instalments are then emailed on a weekly basis.

How do I contact my lecturer and how do I submit work for marking?

On enrolment you will be sent the name, address, phone number and email address of your subject tutor. We suggest you make contact to talk about the subject and to discuss convenient contact times. When you have completed a piece of set work, please send it directly to your lecturer by: Post  or   Email  or  Fax
Essays can also be sent to Campbell's College by any of the above methods and we will forward it to your lecturer, but this will take longer.
Please try and submit work on a regular basis throughout your course. Marked work will then be returned to you quickly. If you wait until the last few weeks before the exam and send in six essays in one go, there could possibly be a delay.

What happens if I need to defer or retake one of the courses?

Read our policy on deferrals and retakes.

I'm worried about doing accounts by distance learning - can you help?

Jim Skinner writes: For many, a taught course is not an option due to lack of suitable provision or pressure from work or family. If this is the situation in your case you have my deepest sympathy - I have been there myself.

The Campbell's distance learning course is designed with this in mind. No previous book-keeping knowledge is required, you can work at your own pace, the material is written in plain English showing short cuts and "common sense" solutions to problems. All that is required is a commitment to work as hard as you can and send in papers for marking.

I have many years experience of producing material for Campbell's College and I know that hard work and an organised approach to study (with no bad luck) will eventually lead to examination success.

What if something goes wrong?

If you have problems let us know as soon as possible and we will do all we can to put things right.
 

Emails: We send our occasional email newsletters to all students on our courses for whom we have an email address. If you do not wish to receive such messages, please let us know and we will remove you from our list.
