Expand Your Skills and Knowledge

University of St Andrews is working in partnership with The Skills Network, a training provider that provides access to interactive and engaging learning content, via distance learning.
The Skills Network has partnered with a number of leading awarding organisations, including NCFE, CACHE and TQUK, to develop outstanding learning resources that meet a diverse range of learning needs.

Learners can submit their answers online or via the answer booklets they provide. You will also have the support of a subject specialist tutor and a learner support adviser who will assist you with your learning and assessment questions.

Eligibility for this scheme is set by the Scottish Funding Council. Any University of St Andrews member of staff who wants to participate, but is not eligible for the free funding, should talk to their line manager or contact osdscourses@st-andrews.ac.uk

PLEASE NOTE: To qualify for funding you must be aged 16 or over, reside in Scotland and have been living in the EU for at least the last three years. You cannot enrol onto a course that you have already completed
