You can study around your work and family commitments at times that suit you. Our art courses can be done either via the post or online - either way we endeavour to make it as simple as possible for you.
All of our art courses are thoughtfully crafted for home study, enabling students to progress at their own pace from the comfort of their homes while still benefiting from tutor feedback on their coursework.

How do our art courses work?

Coursework can be submitted to the college online in 'The Art Room' via scans or digital photographs, or alternatively via the mail as postal submissions.
