The basic core material is the same for both courses - the printed course notes and text books are identical. The attendance course allows us to set times for outside visits, and trips to local courts which are timetabled within the groups' schedules. TV and Radio work, using equipment on the School's premises, cannot be included in the online course.

The online course is broken into four separate modules, each with an exam at its conclusion, whereas the attendance courses have all the exams in the last weeks of the term. Online students can take individual modules as and when they choose within a four-year time-frame, which gives more flexibility than is available to attendance students, who must complete the course in its entirety once started.

The qualification is the same, and the same diploma is received by all students, regardless of which type of course they took.
