What students say
There was always someone on hand in the forum or on the Facebook page to lend a hand.
It does require a large amount of discipline to study at home and I really did put in the hours, but it was worth every single one of those hours! Deb.
I was working as a frontline ambulance support worker. To progress to the role of paramedic I needed to obtain the correct qualifications get onto a degree.
From no GCSE's to a Higher Education Diploma allowing me to study a Bsc in Paramedic Science proves anyone can do it with the right amount of determination. Carl.
If you are thinking of changing career or need some more qualifications to pursue your dream job. This is the place for you!
They were very helpful when I was applying to universities and even helped with my UCAS application. Without them it would have been much harder to apply. Charlie.
I couldn't have done it without your brilliant support!
My tutors encouraged me to maintain a positive approach. I cannot thank them enough.
I had offers from the Universities of my choice before I had completed the course. I am now en route to study a degree course in Social Work. Lamin.
Everything was clearly spelt out in the course materials ... easy-to-read ... step-by-step format.
Having not studied for 30 years, I was initially very sceptical as to whether I would achieve the grades required by University. All fears were instantly put aside as the tutors were incredibly helpful and patient with me. Sue.
Having completed an Access to HE Diploma with you, I would just like to voice my appreciation on giving me the grounding and motivation I needed to achieve my degree following my leaving the armed forces after 24 years.
I was fortunate enough to get a first and am also starting a new job. Terry.
I have no hesitation in recommending DistanceLearningCentre.com to anyone and everyone I know.
I found the tutors to be extremely supportive and encouraging, the materials were excellent and assessments were easy to follow and complete, and the student forum was there for reassurance.
A huge thank you for propelling me towards my dream! Anjali.
Juggling with full-time work, 3 small children, family/social life, and study is extremely difficult. Time management, commitment and determination are essential to succeed.
There were times when I felt like giving up. Yet, with support and encouragement from my family and tutors all of my hard work has paid off. Maureen.
Studying in my own time meant that I could keep my job, and spend more time reading when needed, as English is not my first language.
The learning materials were well organised. After every assignment thorough and useful feedback was given. Kinga.
As a mature student and having been out of learning for over 20 years the tutors have been amazing: helpful, caring, incredibly knowledgeable and understanding of my situation.
My dream was to be a Primary School Teacher but not having the degree required was a hurdle, so I enrolled on an Access to Teaching course. Paul.
