Damelin Correspondence College
Damelin Correspondence College offers high quality programmes that are recognised in the business world and provide learners with opportunities to advance their careers. It was established some 40 years ago but has an increasing activity in online learning.
Students are able to learn at home, according to a convenient schedule, without having to incur the cost and inconvenience of travelling to classes at fixed times - and thus are able to continue to earn an income whilst studying outside of working hours.
They have access to highly qualified and experienced Damelin tutors who provide quick feedback via detailed comments on assignments.
Damelin produces course material that has been split up into manageable units, logically sequenced, integrated into a sound learning process of introduction, reinforcement and review and interspersed with learner-centred exercises.
