Accredited
by NCFE at Level 3 - It gives you a recognised
qualification.
Some courses are not
properly accredited. Others offer a Level 1 or 2.
Unlimited time
to complete your course – because sometimes
life gets in the way.
Many organisations require
you to complete the course in a year.
60-day
refund period. Take your time to reflect on
whether you're happy with the course.
Some organisations only
give you 7 days to return your course if you're not happy
with it.
1:1
tutor support. All our tutors are practising
teachers or teaching assistants, so you get real-world
answers.
Some organisations get
in-house people to mark the assignment using simple tick-boxes.
So you never discover the deep-down insiders' information.
NUS
Extra Card. Get an NUS Extra card which gives
you discounts at shops, cinemas and other places (£10
fee).
Many
home-study organisations don't provide an NUS Extra Card.
All
inclusive package. There are no hidden fees.
You don't need any extras (though we include an optional
reading list). And delivery by courier is included
in the price.
Check that other organisations
won't charge you extra for tutoring or other costs.
Includes detailed information
on how to find work as a teaching assistant.
Many organisations don't
think about including this very important information.
You
can contact other learners, so you can learn
from them and share experiences.
Some organisations have
no system for letting you make contact, so you're isolated.
You
receive regular Progress Reports and reminders, tailored
to your individual progress. They will help you stay on track.
You're unlikely to get
this from other organisations.
And finally, you get all the advantages of
home study: no classroom attendance, learn from home, study
at your own pace, no previous knowledge required.
