E-learning: How it Works

Students are able to study from anywhere in the world using MLA's accessible e-learning platforms. See here how our teaching and learning materials are delivered. For those working at sea for long periods of time, regular internet access is not required and our cutting-edge teaching and learning materials can all be accessed without a continuous connection to the World Wide Web.

Dedicated Tutor Support

At the Marine Learning Alliance College all students receive individual attention, from initial enquiry and enrolment through our dedicated admissions team, to having their own Academic Personal Tutor on call throughout their studies.

MLA College is

Distance learning is convenient for a working professional.

I already say to my colleagues that this programme will equip every seaman with the necessary knowledge of the entire maritime industry.

I think this is a high quality course thoroughly planned and presented with a high standard.

MLA College offers a unique opportunity to be able to study at a high level whilst maintaining employment in an industry that desperately needs skilled, educated and motivated personnel. It’s a perfect fit!

E-learning is the teaching package of our generation.

A good opportunity to gain a recognised qualification in a subject relevant to our field.

Wow! Huge and sometimes complex topic areas covered really well.

Distance Learning keeps surprising me. I never thought that tutor support through distance learning could be just as or even more helpful than face to face tutoring.

I stunned the village genius with my knowledge of Von Mises' Yield Criterion...small victory for me! Thanks again.
