How do I speak with my tutor?

You can speak with your tutor via telephone, video call, email, or via the messenger system on the DLC Learning Hub. A call with your tutor can be arranged as and when you require, via the online calendar or your study support advisor.

How long do I have to complete my course?

The duration of the study support package provided with your course is dependent upon the level you have selected. We understand most of our learners are studying around their working schedules and busy lifestyles, for this reason we provide a support duration which is based on as little as 2-3 hours of studying per week. As the courses are flexible, you can complete the course in a timeframe which suits you.

Should a situation occur which is going to put you off track from completing your course within the support duration, you can place your course on hold or extend your support duration for a small fee. You can discuss this with your study support advisor at any time.
