Study Methods available for IBS Students?

If you are interested in studying an IBS course, you can decide if you want to study through correspondence study or face-to-face tuition.

What is Correspondence Study?

Correspondence study is also called distance learning. Distance learning is the most flexible and affordable route for many students. Correspondence study will allow you to finish your studies at your own pace. You register with a distance learning college, and they will send you all your study material. You will then have access to the college’s support structures, such as tutors, who will help you with your study goals.

What is Face-to-Face Tuition?

Face-to-Face tuition simply means that you will go to classes, lectures or seminars in order for you to study. Face-to-face tuition can be divided into two groups: Full time studies and Part time studies.

Full time studies

You can study full time at the college of your choice.

Part time studies

You can study part time at the college of your choice. In other words, your timetable for your classes is a lot more flexible.

Where can I study an IBS Programme?

If you would like to study an IBS programme, you can do some research and find an approved education provider (for example, a college), that offers IBS programmes. You can register with that education provider and the education provider will assist you with registering with IBS and preparing for your IBS exams.
