The development of Amicus open and distance learning courses has been made possible through its educational partnership with the University of Leeds.

• The open and distance learning courses allow students to arrange learning time to fit in with their work and home life.
• They give students the flexibility of starting the course when they want and studying when it best suits them.
• Amicus open and distance learning courses are free to Amicus members.
• The only cost to members is the individual accreditation fee which is payable to the University of Leeds.
• There are no entry qualifications or requirements for the level one open and distance learning modules, and anyone in Amicus can apply.
• All ODL students are allocated an experienced and supportive University of Leeds tutor.
• Each module is worth 10 or 20 credits, and requires between 60 - 120 hours of independent study.
• This includes reading, finding things out, thinking, writing and doing course activities.
• An open and distance learning module should take about 4 months to complete.
