    Was considering doing a distance learning fetac course, its a 12 week course. Just wondering are they considered the same as courses that people attend in local vec and do collages treat them the same.

    Thanks for any replies.

    It sounds like a component certificate rather than a full/major award. I'm sure a certificate earned by distance learning would be considered the same as the same certificate earned by class time. But it would only be 1/8th of the material required for a full award (at level 5/6)

    I see your actually correct, just came across that now. I take it there is no chance of being able to do a full award from home.
