There are many advantages to Distance Learning, but the main advantages have to be cost and flexibility. With Distance Learning there is no need to attend a classroom environment, so there is no waste of time or other resources in transport, commuting to specific location for each class. You can learn at your own pace, so you can get through your course as quickly or slowly as you please, and of course the costs can also be a lot less!

It's really very simple. We supply you with the appropriate study materials to head for a particular certificate or exam(s). You receive your complete course materials as a single package, so you know exactly what you are receiving for your money. You then receive support through a personal tutor to help you get through the course materials. You will always have access to support by email or by post. With some courses like GCSE's, IGCSE's and A Level's you will also get telephone support.

You can start a course at any time. We do not have any set dates for starting a course. As the courses are self-study, we can send you the appropriate materials and you can work through at your own pace. How long it takes you to complete is dependant on yourself! Course lengths will vary from student to student, but you will find a reasonable estimate of course durations set in applied learning hours on each course page of our website.

Almost all of our courses will lead to accredited certificates of achievements, Ofqual Regulated Qualifications or industry recognised certification. The accreditation information is detailed on each course page. Some courses will include the final Certification/Qualification within their course fees, while others will need external examinations or tests.

External examination or test fees are not included unless specified as these are optional, and not all students will want to complete them. We do however include all relevant information for booking examinations/tests and if possible we will also give the option of purchasing an exam/test voucher to cover their costs. If you have any questions or would like further information on a specific certificate or qualification then please call our sales team on 0845 129 7238 or 0191 512 0481 or you can email us at: info@distance-learning-centre.co.uk.

Yes, we offer interest free instalment plans over 3 months through Klarna or 6 months by Direct Debit. Payment options are detailed on each individual course page.

If you change your mind or you are not happy with your course materials then simply let us know! All courses with the exception of digital online courses have a 14 day return policy so if you are not satisfied with your course then you can swap it for another or return it for a no questions asked course refund.
