Courses
We offer a number of free short courses in a wide range of subjects.
Short courses are a great way to start off your distance learning journey, before going on to apply for a full distance learning course.
They are a great way to explore new topics you may be interested in, or to to brush up on your study skills.
You don’t need to apply, the courses are self-assessed, and there is no pressure as they do not lead to a qualification.
PET’s short courses will help you to build on your study skills, prepare for a full distance learning course, and get ready for longer qualifications.
