Learning Curve:
Learning Curve, based in Edinburgh, Scotland is one of the UK's leading distance learning providers, offering certificate and diploma courses in a range of subjects from introductory to advanced level. Our courses allow you to study at home in your own time, and at your own pace. Our students are given direct e-mail contact details for their tutor and can contact him or her whenever they need assistance (including weekends and evening). All of our courses also come complete with required textbooks, meaning there are no 'hidden costs'. Learning Curve is accredited by ODL QC, the national UK body for quality in open and distance learning. Accreditation is awarded only after a rigorous assessment, by independent experts, of the educational service offered by the provider, to ensure that it meets the standards set by the council. Accredited colleges are reassessed regularly.
