I really couldn't recommend AOLL highly enough. From the very start when I submitted my registration, within minutes I had a phone call from Sam welcoming me. Everybody I've had contact with, Tech, Finance, Admin, Tutors, has been extremely attentive answering any enquiries, even out of hours and weekends, and were extremely professional. The VLE is well laid out, the course content is excellent and the assignment requirements are clear to understand. My tutors were fantastic, and the advice Alison gave me during our initial phone call and feedback on assignments was invaluable, this will put me in good stead for university. I was under tight time constraints and was never held back, which is much appreciated. AOLL, thank you, I couldn't recommend you highly enough! Best wishes to you all.

This course has been an excellent option to study whilst still working full time. Even though at times it has been stressful to do both at the same time, this course made it easy for me to plan my time effectively. The tutors have also been great and provided great feedback and support.

Academy online learning made it possible for me to study to get my grades for uni whilst working. Always on hand to help or answers any questions promptly. All staff have been great and I’m glad I decided to go with this company. Thank you

More complex and difficult than expected, not relevant to course chosen and more self-taught than expected. I have very often struggled to find free available sources which were relevant for completing the assignments. Poor value for money.

This course provided me with more support I received at college and University the first time. After nit doing science A-levels I started this course during full time work and had a short period to complete it, in order to go to University when I aimed to. Although it wasn't easy, the amazing support I received helped me achieve this, and I'm so grateful for the time, care and effort that was put into providing quality resources, information and support in every way. Amy, Christy, Alison and the people I spoke to at the beginning of my course have been really lovely and I've actually enjoyed this experience and this was a motivation in meeting my deadlines!
I would recommend this course to anybody wanting to go further in their career or education.

Got into the university program of my dreams very flexible have been able to work full time alongside doing the course. As well as being able to have other commitments would definitely recommend this course as you can hand assignments in as suited best this includes the costs over time. I managed to complete this in 6 months 10/10 plus no exams!
Great course! Tutors were good at giving feedback and answered any questions within the next day, modules were interesting and it really prepares you for university. The first few assignments are slightly overwhelming but keep at it! And ask any questions you have to your tutor, it becomes second nature after the first few assignments. Don't know what I'll do with my spare time now!... until uni!

The tutors are very kind and helpful! They give feedback on every assignment that is constructive! UCAS help is excellent and was very useful to get to Uni! - Biology course.

It was a really intense course, just because I have tried to finish in 6 months, but with determination and good organisation nothing is impossible. Thanks to my biology tutor Steve, who always helped with my questions, and checked in short time all my assignments. I would recommend AOL to anyone who would want to continue their education, exactly how it was recommended to me.

The course was recommended by the University I wanted to get into.
The course is great and relevant to what I want to do, to become a Physiotherapist.
The good thing for me was no exams! So if you put the work into your assignments you will do well. I also got plenty of support from my tutors.

The course was really enjoyable and gave me a good insight to what I will be studying in further higher education.

From day 1, I had an excellent experience with my tutor Chrissy, always offering support and an excellent tutor. For my next part of the course I got transferred to Andy, again, absolutely amazing.
The team is always there to support and guide, giving you feedback which guides you through to prepare for university.
My tutors always replied to my MANY questions within the hour and always checked in on.
Amy is also amazing in directing you on what to do next and getting things sorted for you.
Over all I had an excellent experience and I wouldn’t be able to proceed to study midwifery without these guys!

The program is well very well organised with excellent support from tutors and support staff. Being able to work at my own pace was a huge benefit. Superb preparation for university study. Highly recommended!

Supportive tutors and really informative feedback can pause the course whenever you need.
Very thorough course, covers all aspects of human biology in great depth. A lot of work but worth it.

I am SO glad I chose AOLL ... All the support right from the beginning of querying the course all the way to the end of the course was amazing.
I could not recommend Academy Online Learning enough. They supported me in the course as well as my UCAS application! Thank you so much to my tutors Steve and Jessica who were amazing in getting back to me about my work and any queries. And also a thank you to Amy who supported and reassured me during my course!

My general experience is good, after long time since my last school/course experience. I found the tutor Andy really lifting up and supportive. The way he gave me my feedback`s with elements for improvement was always warm in up lifting. Thank you

Amazing experience- my tutors and all staff I encountered were so supportive and friendly, allowing me to pursue my aspirations through an alternative route and get into my dream course at my dream University. I could not recommend AOLL more- a particular thanks to Steve, Amy and Caroline, who allowed me the flexibility and guidance I needed to be able to complete my studies in difficult life circumstances.
(Edit, as I don’t think my initial review was detailed enough to do them justice!)-
I did an Access to Health Sciences Careers pathway with custom modules, in order to study Pharmacy.
The whole process from start to finish was straightforward and interesting. I had clear, regular contact with my tutors through the VLE, who always gave valuable feedback and remained contactable for the smallest, silliest of queries- also giving frequent reassurance throughout. During the course I had a large period of time off, but everyone was really understanding and helped me to get back on track when I’d given up! I seriously cannot say how much I appreciate everything they’ve done. The UCAS process was straightforward and everyone communicated efficiently to get things done as quickly as possible/respond to queries. They offered the perfect balance of support that was enough to equip me with my own skills for my future academia, and not allow me to get too overwhelmed or dependent. There’s a reason the QAA feedback is so positive! To anyone considering doing it, please do. The staff truly care about their students!
