The Study Guild

Programme finder

Find the right programme

Four questions, then a shortlist of at most three — each with the reason it fits. If none of ours fit, it says so.

Answer four questions

1. What do you want from it?
2. Which area?
3. How much time can you give each week?
4. When do you want to start?
Optional: your budget — every programme can be split over six months, interest free

About the finder

Will the finder always recommend a programme?

No. If nothing fits your answers it says so, and if it had to ignore one of your answers to find anything it tells you which. A finder that quietly drops your budget to show you something to buy is a sales widget.

Why does it ask how many hours a week I have?

Because it is the most common reason people do not finish. Every programme's weekly load is calculated from its live and self-study hours, so the number is the same one on the programme page.

What if I need a protected title like counsellor or dietitian?

Start with the credential checker instead. Some titles are regulated or placement-based, and no short programme — ours or anyone's — can confer them. The checker says which, and where to go.
