Learning online at Surrey Connect is a completely different learning experience from the traditional classroom environment. It takes time to adjust to a new way of doing things like setting up a consistent routine and rewarding yourself for goals met ---
being in charge of your own education!
For this reason, to support success rather than overwhelm, you will take only two courses at a time. All courses are self-paced so you can work as quickly as you like towards completion.
We want your experience with us to be successful!
All courses are self-paced so you can go as fast as you like. Generally, course completion is possible by studying:
6 hours/day = 6 - 8 week completion
2 hours /day = 2 - 3 months
1 hour /day = 4 - 5 months
Ultimately, however, you do have an entire year to
complete a course.
If you are ill or go away on holiday, please e-mail your teacher and let them know.
