Distance Learning Courses on PIP

in PIP, DLA, and AA
I am stuck at home most days due to my condition.  Thinking of doing a course, one I can do from home and at my own pace, would be good for me. Just wondering if this would affect my PIP in anyway?  

Thanks

    It doesn’t affect your PIP.

    Thank you.  There are lots of courses out there.  My local college which is well established, offers a number of distance learning courses.  I'm thinking of something that will help me when I am well enough to return to work.  I'm quite interested in one they offer, called Information, Advice and Guidance.  I need to check with the college really as it says 12 weeks.  I don't want to start something and struggle as I do.  I also have ADHD and struggle with poor attention and concentration.  I worry I might not be able to finish, or meet deadlines.  I wonder how flexible they will be.

    I will continue to look and gather information.

    I think I've heard of that one @mhuss1130 :) It sounds good to me!

    I'd definitely recommend speaking to the college about your ADHD to see how they could support you. Is that something you'd feel comfortable doing?
