Highly recommend

I started this course in April and it’s now September and I’ve got two units left to do and this is because of the great tutor I had which helped me throughout and the resources provided by distance learning. I recommend this to everyone who wishes to study ti get their qualifications. It is great and it’s got an easy website to guide you along.

A Flexible and Supportive Route into HE

I cannot recommend the Distance Learning Centre enough!

The tutors are very supportive and approachable. My tutors have kindly worked with me at a fast pace to help me meet the tight deadline for entry onto my nursing degree.

The quality of the course materials are of a very high standard and each assignment is explained carefully, giving you the best chance of achieving beyond a pass.

I’m starting my nursing degree in January and all thanks to my access course with the Distance Learning Centre 🙂

Would recommend

The tutors are super nice and ready to help whenever they can, the coursework you can do at your own pace which is amazing for those who love to learn and for those who want to take their time. As well as it being yourself, it fits around your timetable. Very helpful

Great experience

My experience has been great. I had the best tutor in my Psychology studies. Despite being suspended on several occasions for non payment of fees , I have managed to catch up and so far so good.

10/10 ⭐️

My experience was great due to my tutor. She was very supportive, always checking in and seeing how I’m doing, and was always available if I required any support which was extremely helpful! This definitely reduced stress during my studies, and she was a critical part as to why I stayed on top of my assignments. The course itself was great as well, the information provided with each unit was extremely informative and easy to understand and the assignments were actually quite enjoyable! I enjoyed every aspect of the course and there’s nothing about it that I could fault!

I am going to be a Doctor thanks to DLC!

I cannot thank DLC enough, they enabled me to complete a remote Access to Medicine course around my children and running my business full time that has meant I will be starting medical school at my first choice university next month!

The flexibility and support from DLC was second to none and their excellent course content has ensured I feel ready to embark on such a challenging degree.

This was the only remote access to medicine course that any medical schools I researched accepted - I managed to secure 3 early offers from med schools, including 2 Russell Group universities.

Thank you DLC!

I Give them 3 stars as some of the tutors are serious, others are not, have wasted my nephew’s time by delaying his courses work and sending it back to him back and forth. He’s panicking now because of results day and panicking that he could lose his conditional offer at his chosen university and now thinking of going for clearing incase these people make him lose his place.

Thank you for writing a review Helen. I think there is some confusion here as students received their certificates at the end of July ready for university entry and so wonder if you are reviewing the correct organisation.
If you would like to email me at studentservices@distancelearningcentre.com with your nephews name I will be happy to look into this further.

I started studying after an 18 years gap. initially, I wasn't very confident, but after talking with the tutor I felt much better. I received full support both academically and morally. Even when my assignment weren't up to the marking standard, she guided me in detail, which help me to complete the TAQs. I'm glad I chose Distance Learning Center, and I have even recommended it to my colleagues.

Other routes than ALevels

Online School in general surprised a me in a good way especially this one, from wanting to get admission to my chosen course at a Russell group university to getting all five offers at UCAS. Distance learning centre really taught me a lots of skills that are essential like critical thinking, essay writing, time management and many more. I would recommend this distance learning to anyone especially if you need a substitute to A LEVELS.
