who;s done distance learnig/recommend me...

hello

Looking at doing A Levels.....From home

Been looking at the various companies that provide such course's, yet everytime I find one who I think id be happy learning with, I do a google review search and its mostly poor reviews.

So apart from J2uk, (as his distance learning is pretty specialist to a given career), has anyone here taken A levels via distance learning and have any recommendations on who to go with?

Thanks for any input

Local colleges tend to do evening classes - one night a week and rest at home etc. Not quite distance learning but best of both worlds and generally pretty heavily subsidised. Depends on the college but I believe most of them do "normal" A-Levels as well as the more far out ones (A-Level in Macaroni Pictures anyone?)

Id not mind doing evening classes at all, neither of my local colleges offer this tho, city of bristol and filton. spoke to them both on the telephone with no luck

what about uwe dappa?

only do diplomas and degrees mate from what i can see on their website

aaaa thats turd, what you looking to study? ill have a look around im sure some one must do some courses

A level Economics first and foremost.....

not sure about the second one yet...possibly environmental studies A level

Have you tried http://www.weston.ac.uk/ and http://www.citybathcoll.ac.uk/ had a quick look but its all tailored for fulltimers! Can see your problem

have now thanks mate...no luck....id love to do it with a college but from i can see im gonna have to do it with a distance learning provider...not ideal as they all seem to be pretty useless for support..but...as long as i pass then i can then go ahead and get a degree with a proper university so it would have served its purpose

i did Open University couple of years ago and found them good and helpful. Tutorials were held monthly but I never managed to get to any. Had one point of contact by email who was fantastic and replied quickly
