At work I'm able to manage my priorities, and communicate and explain my ideas to other people – I learned this from doing assignments and preparing for exams.

Some course providers partner with official organisations to create customised programmes – right through from Certificate to Doctorate level. For example, the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) offers a flexible study programme for those already working in the industry who want to qualify officially.
Flexible study means the course is spread over four years for part-time students, which allows me to balance the course content with family life and working full-time at Pearson.
