Online Learning – Know Your Options
Studying a fully online QQI course offers flexibility, accessibility, and the opportunity to learn at your own pace. Whether you’re an individual learner or an employer seeking training for your team, it’s essential to understand the different types of online learning available. Each mode varies in structure, the level of instructor support, and the amount of self-directed study required.
Our fully online QQI courses are delivered virtually, ensuring you have access to high-quality instruction no matter where you are. Before choosing the right course format for you, explore the different types of online learning below:
Types of Online Learning
Fully Online Learning (Virtual)
All training is delivered online, typically through live instructor-led sessions, interactive materials, and classroom resources. You can engage with instructors and peers via live chats, discussion forums, and asynchronous assignments.
Blended Learning
A combination of online and face-to-face elements. This mode includes self-directed study, pre-course materials (videos, readings, audio), and live instructor contact for guidance and assessments.
Hybrid Learning
A mix of virtual and in-person sessions, offering the flexibility of online study combined with the benefits of in-person interaction and hands-on practice where required.
Here are some alternative forms of online learning that are not available for QQI courses at New Links Training Solutions:
Webinar-Based Learning
Live, interactive online sessions where an instructor delivers training in real-time. Webinars may be standalone or part of a broader course structure, allowing for live Q&A and engagement.
Distance Learning
Self-paced learning with limited instructor interaction. Learners follow structured course materials independently, with occasional check-ins or email support. Best suited for motivated, independent learners.
Making the Right Choice
When selecting a QQI-accredited online course, consider how much live interaction you need, your preferred study pace, and the level of support required. Our courses provide clear guidance, high-quality materials, and expert instruction to help you succeed in your chosen field.
