When you enrol on a KLC Open Learning Course, you become a part of the college. This is why we refer to our courses as Open Learning rather than Distance Learning – students are not left studying at home in isolation, but are automatically welcomed into the KLC Association. With this association comes a unique system of support services, some of which are outlined below. This level of student support is simply not available elsewhere.

FRIENDLY AND PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT
You can contact the Open Learning Department anytime between 9.00am-5.30pm Monday to Friday by phone, fax or e-mail to get friendly and professional support whenever needed.

E-LEARNING RESOURCES
Certain sections of the Open Learning Diploma Courses will steer students to the KLC website, where additional study information, examples of other students’ work, exercise sheets and special updates can be found. The student support section of the website for all the Open Learning Courses also acts as a platform for further research and provides access to your own personal records.

ONLINE STUDENT FORUMS
Become part of the KLC online community! Easy to use, this facility allows you to join a class of students and share ideas, show examples of projects and discuss your course work. This provides the perfect way to maintain your motivation whilst making new friends.

WORKSHOPS
The workshops available are another unique part of undertaking a KLC Open Learning Course. KLC now offers a broad range of short courses at either our studios in Chelsea Harbour or at Hampton Court Palace, many of which have been specifically put together to support the Open Learning Courses. These also provide an excellent opportunity to meet with other students.

ONE TO ONE TUTORIALS
Students can opt to take personal tutorials, which are one hour sessions with one of our tutors on a one-to-one basis, providing professional guidance on a student’s work.

REGIONAL GROUPS
We encourage Open Learning Students to support one another through their course and we can introduce you to other students in your locality so that you can form your own study group.

DISCOUNTS ON BOOKS, EQUIPMENT & KLC SHORT COURSES
As a member of the KLC Association, you will also be able to take advantage of special discounts on books, equipment and KLC’s short courses.

ANNUAL AWARDS
KLC has an annual award ceremony held at Chelsea Harbour. There are four special awards presented by key companies in the industry for the top achieving Open Learning students in Interior Design, Interior Decoration, Garden Design and Antiques.
