Get on course, online

Every year, tens of thousands of students all over the country set off on journeys to other parts of the country to start studying. Lots of them enrol on courses that have poor employment outcomes. Our courses are aligned to the needs of employers.

Smart students adopt a different approach. They go online to get in the fast lane.

‘Having gone straight from the sixth form into the surveying industry, I needed to study a degree that would get me up to speed fairly quickly with the property sector so that I could develop further in my role; the course has definitely given me more confidence in this regard.’

Learning to work is learning that works

CEM designs and awards its own diplomas and BSc(Hons) degrees; the highest validation of education quality. Employers know that the qualifications we teach equip our diploma and degree students with the knowledge they need to make real contributions from the day they start work.

Anywhere learning with CEM’s virtual learning environment (VLE)

Our VLE is a worldwide virtual community. Turn on your computer and it’s there. Take it with you when you need to – go mobile, go tablet, go live your life while you do your studies – anywhere you want.

The VLE links you to other determined individuals, just like you; to exchange ideas, share opinions and broaden your horizons. It links you to materials and resources, videos, online tutorials and the whole CEM support team – in your computer, when you need them.

‘The virtual learning environment which allows all college students and tutors to discuss topics within the modules is invaluable and one of the best features of CEM’s distance learning package.’

Andrew Dodson. BSc(Hons) Construction Management

‘Distance learning offered the flexibility to work full-time and study on my own schedule. And, importantly, at the end of studying, an internationally recognised degree accredited by the RICS awaited me.’

Kirk Norine. BSc(Hons) Estate Management

You don’t have to go somewhere to learn. You just have to be determined to go somewhere when you’re qualified.
