Distance Learning Courses Limited Reviews

This is to warn others who maybe are thinking of taking a course with this company. Please do not rely on what you read, I paid nearly £400 on a Maths GCSE course, only to find there wasnt an exam centre within a reasonable distance - yet I was willing to travel 45 minutes from home. These people really dont care, once they have your money - they wont do much to help you. There is a map on their website but it isnt accurate, I tried 14 centres - some were on the map, some local and some on a AQA centre and couldnt find one. If you want to do a Maths GCSE - Do the equivalent and take a Maths Functional Course, quite often other companies do them for free. If I had of known about them previously, I wouldnt of wasted my time and money on this centre. I'm not saying you are going to get this with all courses with them but I certainly wont be using them again. All they want to do is point blame and twist what you say. Customer Service at your worst. In response to the training centre - it isnt quite what they said happened. Yes they did offer a deferral but at a centre that I couldnt get too as it was in the middle of a city along from the A3 in Southampton, it just wasnt possible as would take a lot longer due to rush hour. But why is it they are the only centre?!! They just arent to be trusted or if you do go with them, make sure you look at the centres beforehand, unfortunately I took their information to be correct. I was going to take this company to court and got as far as mediation as I feel I'm in the right but couldnt risk any costs that could go against me. Yes my experience was earlier in the year but it's taken all this time to try and sort it out. Customer Service isnt very good and from my experience, they are an awful company where you can do a Maths equivalent for free both course and exam under the functional skills course with the WEA and some other centres. The only reason I declined the offer of a free functional skills course with them is because they charge for the exam whereas other centres dont, yet they havent mentioned that there is an exam cost to this reply! They havent told the truth either going by their response. Me advice would be to stay clear and to go with another centre who actually cares about their students and wants to help them, not to just take their money.

Halfway through my course with them and have got v high exam results so far. Slides are great for learning, tutors give detailed feedback and are great to deal with! Would give more than 5 stars if I could!

I studied the Advanced Python Programming course and it was lovely. The learning materials were really good, and there were working examples to go with every lesson. The support had really fast response and help for any issues as well. I would recommend this for anyone looking to extend their knowledge. :)

My son is homeschooled and used this course (IT Essentials) as a requirement for his ICCE certificate. The 'distancelearning' team are very helpful and my 18 year old son was able to complete this course unaided as the instructions were very clear. The feedback notes by Dave his course tutor were very encouraging and the experience has been both positive and worthwhile. Thank you!

I just completed a Python course with Distance Learning. It was an amazing experience. The course was made as much easy as possible. The tutor was also very patient and always willing to help. I would highly recommend them.

I have just finished an IT course and had a really positive experience. Help was there when I needed it. All questions where answered in a timely manner. The Web site was easy to navigate Thank you

I am having a great experience with this company. The tutor I have replies very quickly, even on a Sunday! I am taking a bundle of courses included in The Web Design Professional Bundle which has been very easy to understand and work through. I highly recommend these guys to anyone. Thank you very much!

They have a very personal approach which is fantastic. I never feel lost in a system as they reply very quickly to all enquiries. Best value for money I have found anywhere for online courses too. The course material is amazing with clear specs and example driven explanations. Very pleased with my experience.

A really informative and easy to follow beginners Web design course, I thoroughly enjoyed all the modules and any queries throughout the course were dealt with a very swift response time, really looking forward to getting stuck into the advanced levels soon

I would not call myself lucky over the year, having slipped over and landed badly. But without the support of my tutor who gave excellent tips and suggestions. I think the painkillers and the mind fog would have won out right with the lack of focus. There was good feedback and pointers. I would be happy to recommend this group to other would be students.

I was interested in their services and have some queries, I contacted them for my queries they handle in too smoothly.

This institution is the best so far, I have recommended them to my family and friends and some of my friends are registered as well. it is cost effective and the flexible payment is the icing. The support team are very helpful, my tutor is the best in the world. Beyond just acquiring the certification, my tutor literally made me go through each topic and let it sync in my memory like if you wake me up from sleep and ask me to explain CQC code of conduct in detail I shall do that, ask me to explain, Equality, Diversity, Discrimination, safeguarding , stages of life and all other major aspect of health and social care including legislation I'll literally train and get paid for it.. 😊 That's the extent she has made me research and understand it. Kudos to all the team.

I’ve been on my course for the last few months and I’ve found it fantastic! The tutors are VERY knowledgeable and will support you as much as they can. Because of DLC I’m now getting access to university to do my degree. I’d especially like to thank my tutor Tejinder Rajput, she has been so patient and has gone above and beyond in terms of helping me meet the course criteria offering tutorials and support wherever I needed it! Thank you

Incredible Amazing Fabulous are the words which I would use for the service I got from my tutor & the whole entire team at DLC... Well done great job...

I thoroughly enjoyed learning my course materials through the Distance Learning Centre. Support team are helpful and friendly, and they have great courses to purchase on their easy to navigate webpage. Couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend choosing them.

Distance learning centre refused to process my application after receiving my money. Be very careful - they pretend to be a believer in furthering your education but unfortunately it seems they pick and choose who they want to work with; discriminating against whoever they choose. Shop elsewhere.

I have used numerous training/education/homeschool providers over the years, as my son is homeschooled. Not all good. My son who has autism has only being doing the course for a few weeks but has aleady found it, easy to navigate, with clear goals and outcomes, it's engaging/enjoyable and most important he is learning and wants to. Once we signed up, we had all the necessary information within 30 minutes to start the course. The Tutor introduced himself quickly and already responded to his first assignment in such an engaging, encouraging, pleasant tone. A wonderful start.

The service I received was second to none. From the moment I decided on the course I wanted to go for to the moment I received my certificate the process was flawless. Within an hour our paying for my course, I had emails from my tutor, my study plan and confirmation all my resources had been posted to my works address. My tutor was on hand for any of my questions and the response time was more than acceptable! I would definitely recommend Distance learning to anyone looking to complete a course within their working day to day life.

This course was incredibly helpful, and I will be sharing this with senior management. I genuinely think a lot of people from my directorate would significantly benefit from this. You were also very professional, and I loved the speedy responses.

My recent course with Distance Learning Centre was an absolute joy. Whilst I have studied before, it was many years ago and I was a little nervous about taking the plunge and enrolling. I need not have been. The course itself was clear and excellently facilitated. Both the course leader and my tutor were supportive, enthusiastic and encouraging. Feedback throughout was helpful and personal meaning that although the course was completed at a distance, it didn't feel that way. A huge thank you for an enjoyable year of learning something new.
