This is my second post of the morning.

I am looking at doing some distance learning, and as a non resident i have a couple of questions.

I am working, and we work 2 weeks on, 1 week off usually and in my down time, I should do more with myself, and I am looking into study. I could do a distance learning course from the UK, or could I apply here, and pay the international fees, and new visa to be able to study?
Thirdly, my employer would like to contribute also, I think this is only as an incentive for me to stay around for a few more years. I am not complaining though.

I just want to better myself, and hopefully, I do become a resident, I can return to study full time.

Any input would be more than welcome.

Thanks

No study permit required for distant learning courses so yes you can do it.
