Distance Learning School - Online Courses

UK Open College:
Based in the Midlands near Birmingham, The UK Open College was set up by experts with extensive experience in delivering home-based study programmes. One of the biggest home learning colleges in the UK, we provide a range of certificate and diploma courses in a variety of different subjects to students throughout the UK, and around the world. All of our courses can be studied from the comfort of your own home with no set term times. Over 90% of our online courses carry fully accredited and recognised awards from highly regarded awarding bodies such as NCFE, NOCN, ICB, SAGE, PRINCE 2, ASET and many more.

- Flexibility:
Online learning has seen a massive increase in interest in current years and with todays current financial climate, the interest and need to gain qualifications has never been greater. Attending college is no longer the preferred study option for many students. The flexibility that home study brings allows even the busiest of students to learn a new skill.

Students can study from home as much or as little as they want at a pace which suits them personally. Every student’s commitments and circumstances are different which makes home learning the ideal solution.

Students can enroll at anytime of the year and not have to worry about enrolling ready to commence at the start of the academic year. There are no set term times or any deadlines to meet. You can enroll whenever you feel ready. There is no pressure at all.

- Choice:
We believe we have one of the largest selections of home study courses available and are continually looking to add courses we feel will be of value to existing and potential students. We currently have over 600 home learning courses to choose from, the majority leading to fully recognised awards and qualifications.

- Availability:
Enrolment is available to students around the world, and it is not necessary to be a UK resident. Almost twenty percent of our students are studying from outside the UK. As long as you have Internet access or are willing to post in your course work for assessment then there really is no barrier. Most of the courses are in stock and dispatched within 72 hours of enrolment.

A major advantage to home learning is the flexibility of being able to study around your work and family commitments. Many students who have expressed an interest in learning through their local college found the constraints and starting dates difficult to manage. Combined with the difficult task of taking time off work or arranging travel and childcare they are unable to attend their course. Home learning courses eliminate all of these problems. Carry on earning while you are learning.

Unlimited support:
It is important that our students have support and guidance throughout their studies. All of our home study courses come with unlimited email or Telephone support (excluding self study courses). No matter how small the problem is we recognise that students like need to be able to ask questions as and when necessary. Students are never alone own when they choose the UK Open College as their learning provider.

Home Study Course packs:
Our home learning course packs come complete with all the materials required. Most of them consist of stationery, course folders and are delivered in a college study bag giving students real flexibility. All of our materials are fully accredited and approved by the appropriate governing bodies.
