UK Accredited Online Engineering College
Flexible online engineering courses and qualifications
What is Distance learning?
Distance learning, also known as online learning or e-learning, is a flexible and accessible mode of education that allows students to study remotely without the need to attend a traditional classroom setting. Instead of following a rigid lecture schedule, students can access course materials, complete assignments, and interact with faculty members through digital platforms such as learning management systems, video conferencing, and online discussion forums.
At iLearn Engineering®, we have developed our own advanced learning platform—the iLearn Portal. This proprietary system is specifically designed for online engineering education, ensuring that students receive a structured yet flexible learning experience. The iLearn Portal provides a comprehensive range of learning resources, including:
- Video tutorials and recorded lectures to explain complex engineering concepts.
- Detailed e-workbooks and structured course materials for easy reference.
- Worked examples and interactive practice questions to reinforce understanding.
- Self-assessment quizzes to track progress and build confidence.
- Instant access to assignments and feedback tools to ensure continuous improvement.
Unlike traditional university courses, there are no fixed lecture times or mandatory attendance requirements, giving you the freedom to study whenever and wherever it suits you.
Study at Your Own Pace with Flexible Learning
One of the key benefits of distance learning is that it allows students to learn at their own pace. Our courses are designed to accommodate busy schedules, making it easier for students to balance their education with work, family, and other commitments.
At iLearn Engineering®, we operate using an asynchronous learning model, meaning that students can engage with course materials and complete assignments at any time that works best for them. This flexibility ensures that you are not constrained by time zones or rigid class schedules, making it possible for learners from all over the world to access high-quality engineering education from the comfort of their own home.
Our self-paced approach means that students can accelerate their studies if they wish, or take extra time when needed—ensuring a learning experience that is tailored to individual needs.
Bite-Sized Learning for Maximum Effectiveness
We understand that engineering concepts can be challenging, which is why our course content is delivered in easy-to-follow, bite-sized modules. Our structured approach allows students to gradually build their knowledge through:
- Step-by-step learning materials designed for clarity and engagement.
- A combination of media formats, including e-books, instructional videos, worksheets, and guided exercises.
- Real-world case studies and industry-relevant examples, helping students connect theory to practice.
- Pre-recorded tutorials that can be revisited at any time to reinforce understanding.
This approach ensures that complex engineering topics are broken down into manageable sections, making learning more effective, engaging, and practical.
You are Not Alone!
We understand that studying remotely can sometimes feel isolating, which is why at iLearn Engineering®, we ensure that you are fully supported throughout your learning journey.
Our students have access to one-on-one tutor support, delivered by experienced and industry-qualified professionals. Whether you need:
- Clarification on a particular concept
- Assistance with an assignment
- Guidance on applying engineering theory to practical scenarios
Our tutors are available via email, phone, and video calls, providing direct, personalised support whenever you need it.
Beyond one-to-one support, our community learning environment fosters collaboration and engagement, allowing students to connect with tutors and peers through online discussions and interactive feedback.
Distance Learning Designed to Fit Your Life
At iLearn Engineering®, we recognise that everyone’s circumstances are different, which is why our distance learning programme is designed to be as flexible as possible. Whether you are:
- Working full-time and looking to upskill
- Balancing family commitments while pursuing further education
- Living in a different time zone and need a learning schedule that fits around your availability
Our course structure enables you to study without compromising on quality or support. We provide all the tools and guidance you need to succeed—on your terms.
With the assurance of expert tutor support, high-quality resources, and the flexibility to study at your own pace, you can focus on achieving your engineering qualifications and progressing your career with confidence.
