Accelerated part time route for FdSc Outdoor Education to those working within the industry. This will be for both years 1 and 2 with students getting the opportunity to attend a study skills week prior to the start of the first academic year alongside other full time students. Start of year: end of September.


Students registering for the part time route will attend an initial tutorial prior to or shortly after registration for assessment and review of accreditation of prior learning on a one to one basis. This will be between one–two hours. Attendance will be compulsory for the first week with full time students to gain introductions to all modules, to get an understanding of the learning outcomes and to meet the staff and other full time students. For the duration of the programme, students will attend one compulsory theory day per week to cover the theory modules, have tutorials to map the learning outcomes and access any study support needs that they may have in order to achieve the FdSc. The compulsory one day per week theory will be alongside full time students’ theory, with separate tutor sessions for accelerated students. Progression Route(s) Students can progress on to the BA (Hons) Educational Studies at Plymouth University or BSc (Hons) Applied Sport and Health Science at Truro College.
