Open learning courses – Choose the Leading UK Provider – My Distance Learning College

 

At My Distance Learning College open learning courses are available to everyone, regardless of background, training or qualifications, and are a convenient way to improve employment prospects, subject knowledge, and raise self-esteem. Unlike traditional methods of learning, which can involve huge costs above and beyond those associated with gaining the required knowledge (such as travel, accommodation, or giving up work), open learning courses deliver a flexible, inexpensive and fun way to learn.

 

The wide variety of courses offered by My Distance Learning College result in an accredited professional qualification universally recognised by employers, governing bodies and professional institutions and can be studied from home, in your spare time, at any time of the day or night. They are absolutely ideal for single parents, part-time workers, school leavers, those between jobs, and busy professionals wanting to undertake further qualifications in specialist fields.

If you are serious about unlocking your potential through open learning courses, don't let self-doubt or a lack of knowledge or skills to hold you back. If you've ever dreamed of broadening your skill set, getting a qualification to improve your employability or enhance your career prospects, or just getting better at a hobby or interest, then open learning courses from My Distance Learning College will help you achieve your goals in a rewarding and enjoyable way. Just 12 months from now you could have a qualification that is recognised everywhere. However, it's important that while you are evaluating your options, you take the time and "do your due diligence" in order to make sure that the course you decide to study is the right one for you.

Professional, Accredited Qualifications

My Distance Learning College is accredited by NCFE, who are an awarding body regulated by the Office of the Qualifications and Examinations Regulator (Ofqual) in England, The Department for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills (DCELLS) in Wales, and the Council for Curriculum Examinations and Assessment (CCEA) in Northern Ireland. All of our courses meet NCFE's Quality Assurance Standards, and we have 2 qualified Internal Verifiers on staff to ensure that they continue to do so.

 

Open learning course Materials and Delivery

One of the key benefits of studying with My Distance Learning College is that, unlike other open learning course providers, we deliver the entire package of course materials in a single dispatch. This enables our students to get a real feel for the overall structure and content of the course, and chart their progress much more effectively. The modular method of delivery favoured by other providers fragments the learning process and actively prevents students from moving faster through sections they are more confident with, or taking more time over the deeper concepts that require more thought and comprehension.

 

Online Study through iLearn it Easy

 

Students of My Distance Learning College automatically get FREE access to the acclaimed “iLearn it Easy” coursework management system, which makes submitting assignments, getting feedback and critique, and interacting with other students on the course for mutual support, an absolute breeze! Push-button simplicity . . .

 

Methods of Home Learning and Continuous Assessment

 

Our courses are specifically designed for learning at or from home. The materials provide a simple and very flexible way to learn, which consists of studying a self-contained unit and then submitting an assignment which demonstrates knowledge of the content. As the course progresses, your knowledge base grows and each successive unit assumes an understanding and knowledge of those already passed. It is a logical process of continuous assessment, and the marks awarded to each unit by your tutor are totalled to give a grade at the end. There is no final exam, which for many students is another huge advantage over more traditional learning methods, and any units or modules that are poorly understood are simply retaken and remarked.

 

Year Round Enrolment

 

You can enrol on a open learning course with My Distance Learning College at any time of the day or night and at any point in the year! There are no "terms" (or semesters, for our American cousins), adding to the unique flexibility of studying open learning courses. Provided you have Internet access you can study literally anywhere, in any time zone, to suit your circumstances, working life or family responsibilities. You could conceivably complete and submit assignments via laptop on a beach in the South Pacific!
