Tutors were excellent and very quick to reply.
My tutor Nicola provided constructive feedback and steered me in the right direction on the 'Health Professions' access course. She was also very prompt to respond to messages and marked my work quickly. Amy was also very helpful. Just be aware that you will not be spoon-fed during the course, you have to be willing to work hard and be able to motivate yourself to do the work! However, I had a positive experience and would recommend Academy Online Learning.

The tutors were very kind, extremely helpful and highly supportive.
The tutors are very helpful and always there to give you advice and support quickly. The course is well structured and offers a good range of learning material.
The course is exactly what I needed to secure a place on my chosen university course. The tutors are so helpful and give you the information you need to succeed as long as you put the effort in to study well.
Great tutor support, flexible payment plans and a great preparation for higher education. Helped me secure a place on my dream course at my top university and couldn't recommend AOLL anymore. 10/10
Extremely flexible and helpful whilst working full time.
As someone who came into this access course with no hope I'd actually get through it, I'd say that this course is great at helping those who are less academic or haven't been in school for a while. Special thanks to Amy. I studied the nutrition access course, and I believe this has fully prepared me for university. I'd recommend this course to anyone. Thank you
Really happy with my experience - doing an AOLL Access Course has meant I can get the qualifications needed to apply for a Dietetics course with the convenience of working to my own schedule and without having to go to a college. All of the tutors and staff are really helpful and supportive and respond quickly. There is a lot of content to get through and you do need to be able to manage your own time/workload. However the assignment deadlines are helpful in keeping you on track and I found some of the topics interesting. Thanks to all the AOLL team!
I recently completed the Academy Learning Online course, and while it was definitely challenging, I found it to be a valuable and rewarding experience. The content was in-depth and required commitment, but it pushed me to grow and develop my skills. I’m proud to have completed the course and would recommend it to anyone looking for a serious learning opportunity.
I found this course to be very supportive. As an older student and I haven't done any studying in a long time, this course made a massive difference. I would highly recommend this course.
Good tutors. Easy accessible course
Great course for a change in careers, doable in less than a year, can be challenging but not impossible.
I was so nervous to do this but Sam was so helpful and helped me start my journey with ease! Nicola and Mike were amazing tutors and made me feel so relaxed and confident. Studying with ease and good tutors helped me get excellent grades and Im immensely grateful! I wouldn't recommend this online college enough, you will not regret it.
Everything was wrong the entire year....but the cherry on top was at the end of the course, when I was singaling that my name is not spelled correctly, after they try it to put the blame.on me, proved that this mistake is on them, they had the audacity to ask me 50 £ to correct this.... for those in the search of a provider just choose something else. Protect your mental health and money and choose another..... As a late discussion with the school my name issue will be resolved and future similar problem will be avoided. We managed to have a very structured telefon discussion, which I appreciate, especially coming on a bank holiday weekend.
This course got me an interview for Essex Uni for Dental hygiene. Unfortunately I didn't get in. This course is well structured but I personally found it extremely time consuming. I am a single mum with 2 kids. I found myself writing essays at night and doing research on my days off. This was very stressful for me. The course took me 15 months to complete when other people managed to do it between 9-12 months. I don't know how. Amy was very helpful on many occasions explaining things regarding University applying process. Overall I would recommend but keep in mind that if you go over 12 months period you need to pay extension fee of £75 per month. It was very hard work so be prepared.
