After leaving Aviva I decided to return to education and pursue my ambition of being a Corporate Lawyer. My careers advisor put me in touch with DistanceLearningCentre.com. The College's web pages provided me with a plethora of information about the courses available and testimonials of previous students. The course I chose was Access to Psychology.
The added advantage of studying with DistanceLearningCentre.com was that I was able to fit studying around my life. The course materials and assessments were available to download from the website and I could complete these at my own pace. Any deadlines were negotiated between my tutor and me.
I have had regular contact with my tutor who was a great support; always been a calming influence when I have been concerned about various elements of my course and my forthcoming exam!! In September I am going to the University of Sheffield to study Law.
I have really enjoyed studying with DistanceLearningCentre.com and would recommend it to anyone, as it helps you develop the necessary skills required for independent study at University.

I never in a million years thought that I would be capable of acheiving what I done in the past 18 months and it is all thanks to DistanceLearningCentre.com. My tutors have been fantastic. I am not the person I used to be, with little confidence; I have confidence in all my work and have learnt such great things that I can not only carry through my university course but also life.
I loved the flexibility with DistanceLearningCentre.com; with the two challenging children I have this really fitted in perfectly with my life. Even in moments when I doubted myself with a really challenging topic on a personal level my fantastic tutor gave me the confidence and new self esteem to see me through it.
I have every confidence that I can achieve all my dreams that I have always wanted to and become a fully qualified Nurse; and I put this all down to DistanceLearningCentre.com and its fantastic tutors - a big thank you again DistanceLearningCentre.com.

I have alot to thank DistanceLearningCentre.com for, I have finally got on the road to achieving my dream!
Due to family circumstances I was taken from school in year 10, so left without any GCSE's, which was quite devastating since I was predicted excellent grades. I started work within the care sector and after many years decided to take the plunge and push for that nursing career.
Because of financial constraints, full time education was not an option. I found DistanceLearningCentre.com was perfect for my needs but as with anything you only get out what you put in. Thanks to the excellent support I received, and after many tantrums, I am pleased to say I completed my course!
I was probably horrible to live with but the thing to remember is it is not easy and if you don't put in 100%, the Distinctions won't come! The secret is being very well organized and remembering why you are doing it.
Now I'm looking forward to starting my nursing course in September 2011, I already know I want to specialise in Oncology (Cancer) nursing thanks to my early experiences caring for my late mum. I currently work on Oncology wards as well as other areas and enjoy it immensely. It is amazing to know that one day I'll be making a difference to people's lives as a nurse and couldn't have done it without DistanceLearningCentre.com. I will always be grateful!

I would like to say that I had an absolutely fantastic tutor who goes above and beyond what I was expecting. Without my tutor's knowledge, humour and, on occasions, honesty, I would never have completed on time. For the students who are lucky enough to have my tutor, I hope that they too find realise how lucky they are.My tutor's a star!

I developed a passion for midwifery after the birth of my second daughter who I had at home and in water. I could not afford to leave work to complete a full time access course or do it in the evenings part time as my husband works shifts. After surfing some Midwifery forums I saw others who had started with DistanceLearningCentre.com and decided to give it a go. I was quite nervous as I had not been in education since I was 16 (now 34) and was not a great scholar then.
My determination to get into midwifery spurred me on, and I was surprised at what I was capable of. The course itself I did find difficult at times but the tutors were very helpful and supportive, especially towards the end when I had to finish a lot quicker than originally planned. In March I was accepted into Bristol UWE on the Midwifery degree and will be starting shortly. Without DistanceLearningCentre.com I doubt I could have fulfilled my dream and been accepted into my chosen career.
