The National Extension College (NEC) offers a very wide range of distance learning opportunities.  This offers the flexibility that Carers so often need; you can study at your own pace and have the support of a tutor.

We offer a range of curses including GCSEs, AS and A2s, vocational subjects such as book-keeping or child-care, along with creative writing, art, counselling and study skills.  We also offer the City and Guilds Learning for Living course to carer as a purely online course.

NEC courses are through distant learning, with no requirement to attend classes, so carers can study where and when they choose.  Studies can be fitted around caring responsibilities and carers will have the support of a subject tutor and a personal mentor.
