STUDYING TO SUIT YOU
WE RECOGNISE THAT NOT EVERYONE IS ABLE TO COMMIT TO FULL-TIME STUDY AND THIS COURSE
GUIDE OUTLINES THE OTHER OPTIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO YOU. WHETHER YOU WANT A CHANGE
OF CAREER AND NEED TO GAIN NEW QUALIFICATIONS WHILST WORKING OR YOU WANT TO TAKE UP A
NEW HOBBY, WE HAVE A COURSE AND STUDY ROUTE FOR YOU.
Part-time Study
Part-time courses are ideal if you want
to come to college, be part of a class
and have regular face to face contact
with teaching staff. Part-time courses
are taught in a variety of ways and can
include 1 or 2 evenings per week or
day release. Each course in this guide
will state the study modes available.

west lothian college
Open Learning
Why is Open Learning the right choice
for you? Previously, many people have
been excluded from learning because
they were unable to attend regular
day or evening classes due to personal
circumstances or other commitments.
Open Learning courses remove the
attendance requirements of traditional
classes, opening up opportunities to those
who have previously been excluded. This
means you can arrange your study time to
suit your schedule.
Support For Learning
The College can provide invaluable support if
you have an additional learning need such as
dyslexia or a physical difficulty. Our friendly
and professional team can assist whether
you require additional learning support, help
with special equipment/materials or special
arrangements for examinations. To make an
appointment to discuss your specific needs,
please contact Lorna Jenkins, Access and
Support Service Leader on 01506 427610,
[email protected]

Additional Costs

SDS Individual Learning

Important:
You must have received confirmation
that your ILA account is active before
the start date of your course. Even
if you’re not sure what you plan to

now to avoid delaying your enrolment
at College.
