Online Business School
OBS Overview
The Online Business School specialises in fast-tracking students to a university qualification via their range of 100% online accredited qualifications.
The OBS offers 15 undergraduate and three postgraduate diplomas. In addition, they also provide online GCSE, A-level certification and IELTS preparation. The OBS focuses on employability, with courses covering business management, finance and accounting, IT, teaching and health.
OBS’s fully-accredited online qualifications are designed around flexibility and affordability. Their level 4 and 5 course structure enables students to quickly earn enough credits to enrol directly onto the third final year of an undergraduate degree. Their Level 6 & 7 Diplomas provide a gateway to a full Master’s degree such as an MBA.
Online Learning
All the OBS diplomas are module based. You progress at your own pace. You complete one module at a time before moving on to the next with no deadlines.
Students access all the course materials, submit assignments and interact with fellow students and tutors through their bespoke online learning platform. Students also get unlimited tutor access to ensure they are on the right track.
Flexibility
OBS courses are designed to be as flexible as possible so that students can complete the courses whilst working full time. This flexible approach with no deadlines means that students can push ahead when they have more time available to study. However, they will not be penalised when work or life events take precedence. Students can choose which order they take the course as each module is an independent learning unit.
Student Support
As the OBS is a 100% online business school, they have created a range of student support tools designed around online students. In addition, students have unlimited access to a dedicated student support team while studying. The OBS has eight student Hubs focusing on learning, professional and personal development, fitness, and wellness.
