Allowed me to develop academically ... and will massively support my next step in learning at University - Katie Harrison

Fab5 Award Nominee

My experience with DistanceLearningCentre.com has been nothing but fantastic from start to finish, from the ease of enrolment, the support received from all my tutors to the assignments themselves (which I really enjoyed doing).

The hardest thing for me was wanting to do the best I could possibly do, which often meant researching to an extent that I could have probably written a dissertation length piece of work for each assignment. My tutors guided and supported me in a way that allowed me to fine tune my focus, so that I could really get into the nitty gritty and explore my ideas in depth, rather than trying to cover everything in detail. The development of this skill has really allowed me to develop academically in terms of my writing and will massively support my next step in learning at University.

Without the support and encouragement I received from all those associated with DistanceLearningCentre.com, I wouldn't have been able to achieve what I have. To have the opportunity to participate in a course that is so well designed and is recognised by all the universities has been brilliant.

Due to ill health I was only able to complete 2 A levels, but I always felt that I had the potential to achieve so much more. Achieving such amazing grades in the diploma has helped me to realise that I'm not a failure and has really boosted my self esteem and confidence. (Jun 16)

The University suggested the Access route and mentioned DistanceLearningCentre.com - Stuart Parkins

I decided in my late (late) forties that I wanted to study a degree for both personal achievement and to gain new skills; inspired and supported by my children (both at University) and especially my wife (who went from Access to a Masters) I decided to apply.

Speaking to my local university admissions department, I found that my poor 'A' levels from 30+ years ago did not provide enough UCAS entry points. I asked their advice after explaining I'm self-employed and work long hours. They suggested the Access route and mentioned DistanceLearningCentre.com as a possible course to fit around my work.

The course was very well structured with supportive tutors. Though not easy, I managed to structure my time and finish the course. It took me longer than anticipated, largely due to work commitments and a sports related injury, but the structure and support, along with a helpful ILP (Individual Learning Plan) kept me focused and on track. The course has engaging materials that are highly targeted to a particular discipline.

I'd recommend DistanceLearningCentre.com to get back to study; they are professional and support the learner well. You will need to work hard and set aside time but it is achievable and I finished my Access to Health course with distance learning at 49 and now have an offer of a University place after gaining a recognised Access qualification.

You make it work for you but you are very much supported and never feel like you are alone - Katherine Taylor

Fab5 Award Nominee

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time studying with DistanceLearningCentre.com, although it was a learning curve at times and I had to deal with a few personal situations along the way which were very challenging. My fantastic tutors, particularly one of them, really helped me along the way and without the support, understanding and encouragement, I wouldn't be where I am today.

DistanceLearningCentre.com really worked for me because as a single parent working part time, it wasn't possible for me to attend the Access Course at my local college, I also appreciated the ability to work at my own pace and to fit studying around my current life.

I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to further their studies or to gain the necessary qualifications to apply for university. You make it work for you but you are very much supported and never feel like you are alone. (Jun 16)

The course taught me the discipline and the determination to push myself to the best of my ability - Nicola Evans

I came across the DistanceLearningCentre.com website when I was searching for an Access Course for Higher Education. This was to get further credits to enable me to attend University. During the time of my course I was also busy working 4 days a week and also caring for my Grandma in the beginning. When she passed away the support my tutor gave me was overwhelming.

Through my busy time the course taught me the discipline and the determination to push myself to the best of my ability. What are my ambitions? On completion of this course I want to go to university to study integrated practice in learning disability nursing and social work. This I am hoping to start in September 2016 but this course has given me the determination to get to where I want to be. In the end I want to be a fully qualified learning disability nurse.

I want to thank both of my tutors for the support and motivation they have given my over the last 9 months. I found distance learning so convenient, especially as I work and I was unable to attend college full time. I would recommend DistanceLearningCentre.com to family and friends. Probably one of the best decisions I have ever made and with the help of this diploma I will get the job of my dreams. (Jun 16)

Distance learning suited me very well. The course material and support given was excellent - Becky Hubbard

I completed an access to midwifery course with DistanceLearningCentre.com. I had a full time job working with people with mental health issues and I completed my studies in my own time.

I would never have had time to go to college so distance learning suited me very well. The course material and support given was excellent.

Completing the course has given me an acceptance in the University of East Anglia to study adult nursing. Thank you very much DistanceLearningCentre.com, I really appreciate everything you've done. (Jun 16)
