Each Advanced Level Course is the same as one of the corresponding Modules of the Advanced Certificate in Leather Technology.

All modules are distance education courses only i.e. there is no practical work associated with these courses. However, detailed practical information is included in the course notes, and students are encouraged to apply what they have learnt in their Research and Development departments within the tanneries where they are employed.

Students can study a maximum of three modules per year, but have the option to study only one module should they so wish.
