What made my experience great was, half way into the course I got a very compassionate Tutor who understood my struggles and challenges and was supportive until I finished. She was always checking in on me to find out how I was fairing with my studies and ready to lend a help on how to get on with the assignments. Although, it took me a very long time to finish but I am happy all the same. DLC is a highly reputed Online Course Provider and I will recommend them to anyone who is looking forward to upgrading his/her educational standard. I am proud to have made it through them,

The resources are incredibly informative and the tutors are very helpful.

Both TAQs and the materials system work well. Communication with tutors if you have a problem is efficient as well. At the beginning of the course, I did find it hard to adjust to the workload and get around to understanding how the systems work, so the information could be clearer or more help is needed.

I had a pleasant experience studying at DistanceLearningCentre.com. All the tutors I came across are very helpful. They always made things easy for me by explaining further. I am really impressed and thank you for experience.

You are doing everything yourself. You have to do dig in everything yourself. Ok that’s not the issue. The problem I faced was the password. You need password for materials,SAQ and TAQ, which is generated and given by your tutor each time. My tutor takes 2/3 days to reply me via email, even in week days. You request password for material and SAQ, finish your SAQ, you upload it, email your tutor, request password to start TAQ. It annoys when you are plan your ILP deadline, you leave everything behind to do your assignment and your tutor doesn’t reply you and won’t get your password on time. It might be only on my case. You might be lucky and get good tutor.

I was recommended DLC, by a friend who is a nurse, because this has been my ambition from since I was a teenager, however I had my family first.
When I started I thought to myself oh my goodness this is going to be so tough, especially trying to balance life.
I had ups and down, and to be honest half way through I wanted to tap out !
I had an amazing tutor oh my goodness she literally held my hand across this track of life and enabled me to continue, there are some real challenging assessments, but just ask for help from whoever is assigned to you they are honestly there to help.
What I would say is once you have even come this far just to browse this page, you’re on the right track and made the right decision! You’ve got this !

My journey with DLC was very smooth in terms of clarity towards my learning. My teachers were on hand to answer my queries. It all started with me because the decision to be successful was mine and seeing my commitments towards my studies, my teachers were absolutely happy to help.
Bottom line, get serious with your commitment, help will come.
I highly recommend DLC any time, any day.

This was an incredible journey! There was a lot of material to cover, which took a long time (if you’re aiming for top grades). I managed to get through it in a year, though it was tough, especially since the assessments were challenging. The online portal was straightforward and easy to get around. I'm really proud of scoring top marks in all subjects, which made the experience even more worthwhile. The teachers were truly excellent, always willing to lend a hand. This is the place to turn to if you’re looking to boost your career. If I had to do it all over again, I’d definitely choose the Distance Learning Centre! This centre has an excellent reputation across universities.

Lots of self directed study and learning but I knew that. Great tutors, work was always marked quickly with detailed feedback. Tutors only an email away! Really proud I completed this in 7 months and with 2 kids and a job!

After 15+years since I sat my GCSE’s, I never thought I would be able to complete a course for University.
This course enabled me to not only complete to the minimum grades needed, but surpassed even my expectations of myself. The tutors were always on hand when needed (email, calls), the design of the course was amazing and the whole process has given me the tools and beliefs that I can now go on and complete a degree at University

Amazing time here and honestly I enjoyed it. The whole team and my tutor. Very efficient and was always there when I needed guidance. Thank you!

The course material is excellent and I’m able to manage my time to fit study in with life. My tutor is on hand if needed. Overall I’m enjoying the experience more than I hoped and would highly recommend Distancelearning.com

I’ve had a really positive experience with DistanceLearningCentre throughout both my functional skills maths and Access to HE diploma. The student services team have always been incredibly supportive, they have been consistently helpful, and very quick to respond.
I’m almost at the end of my course and have been accepted to university next year to study Adult Nursing, which I’m very grateful for. Having a provider like DistanceLearningCentre that offers flexible courses like this has made it possible for me to return to education as a mature student and work towards my dreams and goals.
Although I’ve nearly finished with my diploma, I would consider enrolling on PPD course in the future knowing how easy their platform is to navigate and how friendly their tutors are. I would highly recommend this provider to anyone in a similar situation to me who is interested in getting back into education.

amazing, i have the support I need. Would recommend to anyone who wishes to study.

I really enjoyed and helped me to achieve my goals

Reply from DistanceLearningCentre.com Ltd.
The tutors are very helpful and responsive and the learning materials and resources they provide are very good. It's a really good option for mature students like myself, needing to provide proof to universities that you have 'recent engagement in education'.

I found my tutor friendly and easy to talk to whenever I had any concerns. However, considering the cost of the course mine was £1,199 I expected a higher level of support and guidance. I typically exchanged four to five emails a month with my tutor regarding my studies, and I feel I could have achieved even more if my tutor had been more readily available for support.
If you’re confident in your abilities and don’t require frequent tutor interaction, the Distance Learning Centre may suit you well. However, if you feel you would benefit from a stronger, more consistent support system, I wouldn’t recommend this style of learning.
At first, I found the learning portal quite difficult to navigate but with time it became much easier to use. The course content is very informative. As I near the end of my studies, I can genuinely say I’ve learned far more than I expected. I’m now looking forward to completing my diploma and beginning my degree.

I wouldn't recommend DLC to anyone who is not neuro typical. I have Dyslexia and ADHD and the support is diabolical. I'm offered extensions which doesn't help and when I ask for support I'm just sent emails. I'm writing about topics that i'm not interested in and have nothing to do with my chosen course (Business). I need to keep going with the course because it's cost me so much money however I'm finding it incredibly overwhelming and wish I had known before signing up there would be lack of support. Please don't make the mistake I have. Look elsewhere and do your research.

I have been in this course for nearly six months, and I have encountered nothing but trouble. There is no formal tutoring or teaching involved, and the material is outdated. The module content is password protected, and you cannot access it until each assignment is complete. However, the catch is that they do not want you to achieve the qualification sooner, as they cannot make additional funds by charging you extra. They often fail assignments for reasons that are not appropriate and require you to resubmit the same assignment repeatedly. This seems more like a check for AI usage rather than a measure of whether your work is incorrect.
When I expressed my dissatisfaction with the tutor, I was passed around to four different tutors within one month. I did not have my work marked for over two months, and after voicing my concerns with DCL, they assigned me another tutor. However, this tutor then went on annual leave and transferred me to yet another tutor, who informed me that the original tutor, who had failed to mark my work, would now be responsible for marking it.
I hold a BS Hons degree in business management leadership and studied the same subject alongside DCL. In comparison, DCL falls short compared to three other training providers. The time for processing marked assignments is left until the last day, the 10th, when they are due to be returned. Usually, you are told that you need to resubmit for the most trivial reasons, giving you another 10 days added to the timeline. when you do receive the marked worked very poor marking and grading .
The materials themselves have countless spelling mistakes and errors, and the diagrams are neither clear nor relevant. When you ask questions about this, you do not receive help or replies; you are simply ignored by the tutor. you do not get any support offering you help on how to achieve the grade you need they are only there to make money .
They claim to offer assistance by sending the same automatic email each week. However, if you express disappointment with the materials, they will ignore your concerns.
They have replied to this review claiming they dont have student by this name however this is untrue and a lie as i have current proof of my account with them and bank statements and email history to prove this is not true
