It has given my self-esteem and confidence a real boost - Lou Carter

Studying with DistanceLearningCentre.com gave me the opportunity to do my Access to Health Diploma around my very busy full time job as a registered veterinary nurse. Without DistanceLearningCentre.com I would not have been able to gain the qualifications that I needed to apply for university, as leaving work to attend a college was just simply not an option for me.

I can honestly say that although the course required a lot of hard work and late nights, it has been a very positive experience for me and has given my self-esteem and confidence in my abilities a real boost. The tutors were absolutely fantastic and I genuinely cannot praise their knowledge and support highly enough! The modules and units were all very relevant and I have learnt a lot that I hope to apply in my future career.

Thanks to DistanceLearningCentre.com I now have a place at university to study as an Operating Department Practitioner which begins in March 2015 and I cannot wait to get started! (Nov 14)

The course is so flexible, I have been able to complete it whilst working my full time job - Hollie Armer

DistanceLearningCentre.com has enabled me to achieve a goal that I once thought was unobtainable. As the course is so flexible, I have been able to complete it whilst working my full time job as a Healthcare Support Worker on nightshifts!

I have felt supported by all of my tutors who have been consistently brilliant! I feel that the course has been a fantastic preparation for University. All of the subjects were relevant and also really interesting. It's been hard work but enjoyable hard work! Thank you for everything to the DistanceLearningCentre.com team, my dream to become a nurse is now in sight! (Nov 14)

Having this qualification has given me an edge - Vivian Nwagboso

When I applied to the university and I was told I needed an access course including my GSCE. I was sort of lost because I didn't know where or how to start. I contacted the university to see if they knew where I could get a place. I told them I wanted distance learning as I would feel out of place with very young students and they gave me a link. I went to the link and I wasn't really impressed so I did a random search using Google and I found DistanceLearningCentre.com!

I just followed the instructions on the page and registered, it was quite easy to do that and I got contacted almost immediately and the rest is history. The university course I want to study only has September session and I am so happy my year didn't go by without getting this qualification. Having this Level 3 qualification has given me an edge above GSCE holders when it comes to wages.

For anyone who wishes to enrol with DistanceLearningCentre.com, my candid advice to you is that you have to be prepared. Registration was easy but, believe me, after that you have to be determined and make up your mind that no matter what, you are willing to go through this. To all my tutors from first to last, I say a very big massive thank you. I feel like my life is moving again! (Nov 14)

An amazing opportunity considering my not so well executed secondary school days - Phoebe Parry

I decided at the beginning of 2013 that I wanted to pursue my dream in midwifery; with a full time job that I needed to keep for financial reasons, DistanceLearningCentre.com offered me an amazing opportunity.

With a non-pressured financial plan put into place I started my Access to Midwifery course in December 2013 and needed to moderate in 10 months. At first I thought it was impossible but with the incredible support and occasional push in the right direction by my guardian angels (my two tutors), I finished with two days to spare! The course was at times a little challenging and you have days where you feel like giving up, but once you take a deep breath and speak to your tutors you find yourself breezing through units that you once upon a time may have winced at the thought of!

It is important to stay motivated and think of your end goal; completing a course with DistanceLearningCentre.com was the best thing I have ever done. I have learnt things that I never thought possible considering my not so well executed secondary school days. I am now striving to start university in March 2015 and without DistanceLearningCentre.com I would never have been able to do so. I would recommend them to anybody, especially if you have personal commitments and no option to study full time. It has opened up the doors to my future, I cannot thank you all enough! (Nov 14)

Made it possible to realise my potential and gave me the confidence to focus on achieving a goal - Sam Skinner

Fab5 Award Nominee

Having left college with some less than average A level results in subjects I had no desire to pursue, I never thought at the age of 26 I would be able to find the time to study let alone remember anything I was taught at school over 11 years prior. Working full time and being out of the country for more than 3 weeks a month, I knew that college would not be viable and quite simply I could not afford to give up work. That's when I found DistanceLearningCentre.com and knew it would be the perfect solution.

Being a mature student can be daunting, but Studying with DistanceLearningCentre.com made it possible to realise my potential and gave me the confidence to focus on achieving a goal I did not think was reachable, or viable given my work life balance. Whilst the tutors were informative, they were also just a phone call or email away, guiding me in the right direction and giving me the confidence to complete each module. If a particular subject was harder and taking longer to complete, the tutors would keep me motivated and you could tell they had your best interests at heart.

Although the course is not easy, and the level 3 modules can be quite intimidating, there is always someone on hand to help. Whether on the student forum or via your tutor.

There's no hiding from the fact that this course does require a lot of discipline and self motivation but I managed to complete it with a lot of jet lag, support and determination. If you put in the work you will be overwhelmed and amazed with the results you can achieve.

Thank you to all of the tutors who supported me, and answered my emails promptly. I highly recommend studying with DistanceLearningCentre.com. (Nov 14)
