By developing new skills and expanding your knowledge, you will boost your employability, increase your earning potential, and significantly enhance your career prospects.

All of our qualifications are fully accredited, regulated by Ofqual, and recognised across the industry, ensuring you gain respected, high-quality credentials.

We understand that many learners need the flexibility to study outside of standard working hours. That’s why all our accredited qualifications are delivered through online and supported distance learning. With 24/7 access to your course via the DLC Learning Hub, you can study at your own pace, from any location, without the need to travel.

Deciding to return to studying after a long break is a bold and rewarding step, and it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. No matter how much time has passed, DLC Training will provide you with the necessary support and guidance to ensure you work through your course successfully.

When you enrol with DLC Training, you’ll be assigned a dedicated study support advisor and a subject expert tutor. They’ll be on hand throughout your course to offer guidance, answer questions, and provide encouragement. Whether you’re tackling a challenging topic, working on an assignment, or simply need a bit of reassurance, you’re never on your own with DLC Training.

You can speak with your tutor via telephone, video call, or email, whichever works best for you at the time. A call with your tutor can easily be arranged as and when you require, through the online calendar or with the help of a study support advisor.

The duration of the study support package included with your course depends on the level of qualification you’ve chosen. We recognise that many of our learners balance their studies alongside work and other commitments, which is why our support timelines are designed to accommodate as little as 2–3 hours of study per week.

Thanks to the flexibility of our courses, you can work at your own pace and complete your qualification within a timeframe that suits you. If circumstances arise that may delay your progress, you have the option to place your course on hold or extend your support period for a small fee. Your study support advisor will be happy to discuss your options at any time.
