Engineering Officer of the Watch and Management Level Distance Learning

WHEN CAN I START?

You’ve already started!

Planning your learning is a vital step towards you successfully completing your studies. Unlike conventional courses, distance learning is not tied to the academic terms. This means that you can start to study any time you wish. Students will be enrolling at any time of the year and will study at their own pace until they complete their course. Our administrative facilities have been set up to deal with this flexible study.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

How long your course takes to complete is essentially up to you. The system is very flexible in that you can decide how much time you are prepared to devote to studying.

WHAT WILL I GET OUT OF IT?

The College will issue a certificate to all successful students for each course. Success in your course will be judged on your performance of the course assessments, once you have successfully passed the course assessments you should then be ready for the MCA examination.
