Our Mission – for Students and Learners
Our aim is to help you, as the learner, find the right course at the right price from a reputable provider who will do all they can to ensure you complete your studies successfully and achieve the goals you have set for yourself.
Browse our Courses area for details of the fascinating and rewarding subjects you can study by distance learning with our Member Colleges; or, if you know what you want to study, simply type the word in the search box and you will see which of our Members offer that course.
All our Member Colleges agree to our Code of Ethics, which guarantees you good service and good quality in distance learning.
All our courses are fully tutored – so as you work through your learning materials you will always have advice, guidance, constructive criticism – you will never be left struggling or baffled on your own. Many have active student forums, where you can chat, exchange ideas and ask for help from fellow students.

They’re best looked at in two-page booklet mode. Please enjoy!
