+1 for the open university have heard they are good and may do a degree with them, but they dont offer A levels which i need first

In my experience doing A Levels by distance learning is rarely successful.

If you want to do them to get into Uni then look at Access courses at your local colleges. This is now the most common route for Uni entry for post 19 students

Good luck

what about this? http://www3.open.ac.uk/courses/bin/p12.dll?C01DD202

not a level but maybe a good start - saying that its very expensive. I got mine free as I was getting tax credits

thanks kitkat looks interesting...just off home so will have a proper look later..looks good tho

I had a quick look & found quite a few, like:
http://www.distance-learning-centre....VEL_COURSE.htm
https://store.oxfordcollege.ac/produ...roducts_id=168
http://www.nec.ac.uk/courses/product...tegory_id=3305
etc
harder to find recommendations though, & they seem to be thrice the price of fulltime if you have to pay. I did my microsoft *shudder* course by distance learning & that was alright

thanks drummer - looked at these before...the oxford college one has a website ending in ".ac"....much like the uk education institutions that are ".ac.uk", not sure which country ends in .ac but to me it seems like they are trying to mislead you from the start....

distance learning centre - had good reviews - good price and everything as i wanted - i just dont have the entry requirements - i wrote to them explaining i was a muture student who had incorporated and ran a successful company, and that i would be willing to do any literacy and numeracy tests theyd like me to do in order for them to assess if i was suitable - but without the required a-c GSCE's its a no go.

NEC - look ok on the website - but its the review here http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews52282.html that are putting me off.
