Why do you operate term times?

Our courses are online but we operate term times because we want to start our latest student intakes off together.

When you enrol with Formula Botanica, you are invited to Orientation Week once enrolment closes. Our Education Team runs a series of activities for you to become acquainted with our systems and you are welcomed into our online classroom to meet the other students. We also aim to run regular online study groups when you chat to other students and tutors in small groups live on camera.

In our experience, it is more beneficial for learning, motivation and retention of information when students learn at the same time. Although our students are located in 125+ countries around the world, our community is very close and firm friendships are formed constantly amongst our thousands of students.

As one of our students said in their review of Formula Botanica: "I found the whole experience fun, empowering and I’ve made some new friends too."

It is important to us that use innovative teaching methods to help you get the most out of your course. Formula Botanica won the 2016 Gold Award for 'Excellence in the Design of Learning Content' at the international Learning Technologies Awards and we do our very best to help as many students as possible successfully complete their self-study courses with us.
