Class based learning is a popular study mode and is great for students who have not studied for a long period of time, who live closer to the training location or who simply enjoy being in class. We always recommend enrolling in a class based mode where possible as students who attend classes are typically more successful. In today’s busy world, learners are looking for more flexible ways to learn new skills.

Advances in technology allow learners to access high quality and engaging learning materials in the comfort of their own home. Additionally, all learners still have access to high quality support services including tutorials, workshops, webinars, phone and email support as well as regular contact from their trainer. The online portal contains a range of resources such as learner guides, videos, activities, free short courses and webinars.

Do I need to find a placement?
All students enrolled in a Nationally Recognised Qualification are required to complete a work placement. FTTA can organise a placement for you however as we have many students to find placements for, you may not be placed in your ideal workplace. Students may approach a local workplace of their preference and ask if a place is available. Many students have someone in their circle of friends, family and acquaintances who may be able to assist. FTTA will then ensure the workplace is suitable and discuss the requirements with the school. More information is provided during your course.

Can I do a placement at my child’s school?
You may do a placement in a school where your child attends, however it is standard practice to not be in the same classroom as this can cause issues.
