British History
An 8–12 week pathway exploring political, social and cultural developments within Britain. Includes seminar tasks, source packs and tutor feedback to improve essay technique.
Courses: British, World and Modern History
Our courses combine carefully structured weekly modules, tutor-led seminars and curated source packs to build rigorous historical skills. Each pathway runs across 8–12 weeks with clear learning objectives, guided readings, recorded lectures and formative assessments designed to consolidate methods of source analysis, contextualisation and argument construction. We prioritise clarity of instruction, inclusive discussion and practical assessment tasks that mirror techniques used in UK schools and higher education. Learners receive annotated source collections to accompany seminars, and optional one-to-one tutorials are available for personalised feedback. The course design supports diverse study patterns: some learners complete modules alongside work commitments while others follow a more intensive study routine. We offer concessionary fees for students and seniors and provide advice for employers or groups seeking bespoke training.

Course pathways and short descriptions
Each pathway is scaffolded to develop research skills and historical judgement. The British History pathway offers an extended chronological study that examines political institutions, social change and cultural life within Britain from the medieval period through to the contemporary era. It emphasises working with parliamentary records, printed pamphlets and local case studies to build close-reading abilities and comparative interpretation. The World History pathway takes a comparative global approach to processes such as empire, migration, trade and cultural exchange, encouraging learners to synthesise evidence across regions and to interrogate cross-cultural sources. The Modern History pathway concentrates on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, exploring industrialisation, diplomacy, conflict, reconstruction and social transformation using a mixture of quantitative data, media sources and personal testimony. Each pathway includes tutor-moderated seminars, summative essays and source-based assessments. Learning resources are inclusive and accessible, with transcripts for recorded material and alternative formats available on request. The format supports both academic progression and broader critical engagement with historical issues.

How learning works and pricing overview
Learning at Britannia History Academy follows a weekly cycle combining recorded lectures, directed readings and live or asynchronous seminars so that learners develop transferable historical skills. Each week learners work through a focused reading list, engage with primary-source packs and complete a formative task designed to practise critical reading or argument construction. Seminars are limited to small groups to enable meaningful discussion and precise feedback. Tutors provide annotated comments on submitted work and offer optional one-to-one tutorials for targeted support. Our pricing structure is transparent: individual course fees cover access to all core materials and tutor-moderated feedback; a monthly membership provides access to multiple short courses and a set number of seminar sessions; concessionary rates are available for students, unwaged learners and seniors. For institutions and larger groups we offer bespoke packages with group enrolment discounts and scheduled delivery. Full fee tables and exact module dates are provided on enrolment pages; prospective learners can request a detailed quote via our contact page. We do not sell learner data and support accessibility needs through alternative formats and reasonable adjustments where required.
