How Online Courses work…

Technology and the internet bring many advantages to learning. We offer a range of courses taught entirely online with digital resources for all students to access. Studying a course online means you can learn at your own pace, in your own home, while still being supported by tutors and resources. Online courses are designed to fit into your schedule, working around your home life, work and hobbies.

We offer a variety of subjects…

FOCAL offers a variety of online distance learning courses, ideal if you would like to upskill, enhance your knowledge, develop in your role or start a new career.

How do fully funded courses work?

Certain courses are available free of charge for eligible learners, thanks to government funding. If you have lived in the UK/EU for the past 3 years and are over 19 years old, you may be eligible for free online courses. There may be a fee should you withdraw from the course.

What do our learners think?

‘I have thoroughly enjoyed doing my course through Farnborough College of Technology. I have been able to learn at my own pace knowing that I have a tutor to turn to if I get stuck. The course material is clear and concise and I was able to fit it around a busy schedule of work and family commitments. I would recommend these courses to everyone’.

‘Being able to do the course at home in my own time was convenient and was an extreme help, given that I work and have 3 children at home to look after. I received excellent support throughout, was able to ask questions and contact staff easily and the reply was always efficient’.
