Dont trust what you read

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.

Brilliant

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!

Studying with Distance Learning Centre

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. :)

18 year old had great success with IT Essentials Course.

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!

Level 2 Supporting Teaching & Learning in Schools

I thoroughly enjoyed my course which was Level 2 Supporting Teaching & Learning in schools and found the materials very helpful, i had everything i needed to improve my knowledge and if i had any questions i knew i could contact my tutor for support. I found the materials very well structured and liked how i had an introduction to look back on whenever i was unsure. I found the order process very easy, i placed my order online and received my coursework and materials not long after. I was unsure of how i would manage as i have a toddler and also work in a school full time but with the help and support of my tutor i was able to complete my course two months early!

Highly recommend Distance Learning!

I recently completed the professional business development course and have to say the whole experience and the course content was fantastic! My tutor exceeded my expectations through his feedback, coursework review times and general help and I really do hope to find my next course through Distance Learning soon. I also have to add that having completed courses with other online providers, no other company compared and Distance Learning is my No.1 go to from now on.

IT Essentials Level 2 (RQF) Course

This is the second time I have studied with Distance Learning, and have thoroughly enjoyed studying with them. I have found the course materials to be comprehensive and easy to follow. Their Sales/Admin Team are very professional, and provided exceptional service promptly answering email queries. Tutors are well experienced and offered sound advice to any questions asked. I am thrilled to receive my Distance Learning certificate, and also the Open Awards certificate which I was able to obtain later. I would highly recommend Distance Learning Centre to anyone wanting to study online.
