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.
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.
very well structured and staff are very suppoting
I recently completed a course and had a great experience. The course content was well-structured and informative, making it easy to follow along. I also received excellent support throughout, which made the learning process even smoother. Highly recommend!
I studied the Access to HE health professions course in the hope of studying Paramedic Science. The support I received from my tutors, Nicola and Andrew, was amazing. The materials were well-explained and interesting. They were challenging, but I enjoyed that. CLEAR differentiation between pass, merit and distinction enabled me to achieve 39 distinctions and 6 merits (awaiting moderation). Special mention to Andrew, who supported me massively with my biology units and telephoned me often for support. A massive shout out to Amy who also was a huge support, especially with my UCAS application, she is very supportive, and nothing was too much trouble for her. I have a lot to thank AOLL for, as Paramedic Science is hugely competitive to gain a place, I was offered 2 places at 2 different universities, 1 of them being my first choice. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything.
Great platform for an access course, highly recommend, great support and way to access higher education.
Amazing organisation. I would recommend them to anyone, I did average at school but I have been able to perform above average and I have not been in formal education for years teachers are amazing. Amy Nicole Andrew top top top
I completed the diploma in paramedic science. Over all this was a good course and would recommend it. The platform was easier enough to negotiate and the tutors were on hand as and when needed.
This course has equipped me with great knowledge about the health care sector as well as providing me the necessary academic skills such as essay writing, referencing and how to choose the relevant resources.
