In-person on weekdays delivery offers you the opportunity to study with a more traditional schedule with lectures delivered on-site in Portobello during weekdays.
Those lectures are generally scheduled between Tuesday and Thursday. Monday’s lectures are delivered online.
Blended learning offers a combination of online and in person lectures taking place at the weekends
This makes it easier for you to study while working full-time.
With both delivery modes, there will be lectures you need to attend on-site due to the nature of the content – practical skills etc. All online only lectures are recorded for you to catch up later. Where lectures are delivered onsite – these will simultaneously be delivered online and will also be recorded so you can customise your learning journey – attend on-site, online, or catch-up later.
