What are hours with a tutor present for learning called?

• A. Guided learning hours (GLH)
• B. Independent study hours
• C. Practical study hours
• D. External study hours

Answer: (A)

Guided learning hours are the time when a tutor is present to teach and guide you through the material. This direct contact time includes teaching, demonstrations, explanations, feedback, and supervision, helping you apply what you’ve learned and stay on track. It’s what distinguishes this from independent study hours, where you work alone; practical study hours can involve hands-on tasks but aren’t defined by having a tutor present; external study hours are learning done away from the main teaching site, often remotely or elsewhere. So the hours with a tutor present are guided learning hours, because they denote the supported, instructor-led time in your course.
