I received excellent guidance when applying to university - Faye Smith

'On top of the world' is the only way to describe my feelings after completing The Access to Nursing Diploma. Leaving school without A-levels imposed limits on future career options. DistanceLearningCentre.com has given me the opportunity to pursue my lifelong nursing ambition, offering flexible study fitting around other commitments.

The friendly, approachable tutors always provided positive support and responded promptly to e-mails with constructive advice. I received excellent guidance while composing my personal statement when applying to university - something that I couldn't have done alone. DistanceLearningCentre.com has instilled me with confidence, courage and have gained the academic skills vital to pursue my nursing career. Don't hesitate choose to study with them. (Nov 15)

Studying from home meant I didn't require childcare - Sadie Miles

Fab5 Award Nominee

At the start of my course I was a single parent of two, DistanceLearningCentre.com was superb as it is flexible and studying from home meant I didn't require childcare.

I was initially apprehensive about how I would manage, but the telephone calls and email support were just what I needed. I was also allowed time off for the birth of my third child.

Since completing the course I have been accepted into university to do my Mental Health Nursing degree. (Nov 15)

I completed it and I have gained so many new skills - Natasha Simmons

I've learnt new skills and techniques which will be invaluable for higher education - Caroline Fitzpatrick

I enrolled on the Access to HE Diploma in January 2015 to start the process of gaining a new career in Physiotherapy. Having left college early to start work I never gained the UCAS credits required to go to university. Now 15 years later, going back to education was a daunting prospect.

I have had a manual job for the last 6 years and felt that my academic abilities had diminished during this time. However, I exceeded all of my expectations. The course was hard and challenging at times, requiring motivation and commitment. I found though, that the satisfaction of being awarded a distinction for an assignment and being one step closer to a new career was all I needed to continue.

The flexibility of being able to put the course on hold halfway through allowed me to take much needed time out to organise my wedding.

Having now completed the course I feel much more confident with my writing, researching and referencing abilities. I've learnt new skills and techniques which will be invaluable for higher education. My application to university is on hold now while I welcome the arrival of our first baby. However, I look forward to continuing with my studies in the near future following the grounding that DistanceLearningCentre.com has given me. (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)
