It taught me how to learn; and the more I learnt, the more my confidence grew - Ashleigh Gardner
I had my first child at 19, and left college halfway through my A-Levels. Whilst looking after a baby full-time, I didn't have time to go back to college and re-take my qualifications and ultimately accepted that I would never be able to go to university. However, whilst pregnant with my son in 2015, I discovered DistanceLearningCentre.com and decided to take the plunge and go for it.
The first thing I will tell you is it is not easy, you must be motivated, self-disciplined and determined, but I managed it with a new-born and a 2 year old!
The thing I loved the most about studying with DistanceLearningCentre.com is that I feel it taught me how to learn; and the more I learnt, the more my confidence grew. I would recommend them to anyone. The tutors have been fantastic; they were always patient, encouraging and supportive and the course itself was fascinating.
I have now finished my Access to Allied Health Professions Diploma, and I have a place to study Midwifery at the University of Cumbria in September! Thank you for this wonderful opportunity. (Jun 2017)
The Diploma has given me vital skills for higher education - Steven Wilson
I have worked for South East Coast Ambulance Service, as a technician, since 2004 and my goal has always been to become qualified paramedic.
When I was seven years old I was found to have dyslexia, so struggled and found school difficult, this resulted in poor grades when I graduated. To move on and get onto a degree course I needed to complete an Access to Higher Education Diploma.
I have three young children and work a full-time shift pattern so I needed to enrol onto a flexible course; that is why I chose the Access to Higher Education Diploma (Paramedicine) through DistanceLearningCentre.com.
I found that with my busy lifestyle I could put in the work at a time that suited me. The course has been incredibly interesting, enjoyable and difficult at times. The tutors are very friendly, helpful and answer any questions promptly. I would recommend DistanceLearningCentre.com to anyone who wants to improve their education and achieve their dreams.
Since completing my Diploma I have applied for, and completed interviews at St George's University Hospital London. I am now looking forward to the next stage in my education as I have been offered a place on the Paramedic Science BSc (Hons) degree course starting in September 2017.
The Diploma has given me vital skills for higher education, greatly improved my self-confidence in my academic abilities from the Distinctions I have gained, and has proven that with commitment and hard work you can achieve your goals. (Jun 2017)

The course's flexibility meant I managed it all with top grades - Francesca Rees
Fab5 Award Nominee
I wanted a career change from PR so I signed up with DistanceLearningCentre.com as I could chase my dream of becoming a midwife.
The year I studied turned out to be tougher than I thought as I had a baby and was diagnosed with diabetes, but the course's flexibility meant I managed it all with top grades.
I was lucky enough to secure a really competitive place to study midwifery at my local university and I start in September. DistanceLearningCentre.com made it all possible - thank you! (Jun 2017)

It has changed my life and I am grateful to my tutors for helping me reach my potential - Shannon Fenton
I was looking for a way to study while gaining work experience and found DistanceLearningCentre.com. I have thoroughly enjoyed my course and it has given me a new passion for learning.
Before I started I had little confidence in my ability to succeed but now I am confident that I can achieve anything I set my mind to. Although I fell behind with assignments a couple of times, my tutors supported and encouraged me to get back on track. If I was struggling with anything my tutor was happy to help and if I needed more time to complete an assignment due to work commitments, my tutor would grant me an extension which was very helpful.
I will be studying Biomedical Science at Lancaster University this year and I am excited and optimistic about my future. I can't thank DistanceLearningCentre.com enough for everything they have done, it has changed my life and I am grateful to my tutors for helping me reach my potential.
I would definitely recommend DistanceLearningCentre.com to those who would like to work, look after a family or travel while studying. It was challenging at times but more than worth it in the end. (Jun 17)
