I know several people who have gained Degree,Post Graduates by distance learning and have done very well in their career.

Answer 2

I'm not sure which courses you're looking at but most Higher education distance courses carry good weight alongside full time courses. I'm on my third year of Open Univeristy working towards my degree. So long as you use a reputable institution your courses will be taken seriously. Employers tend to look kindly on distance qualifications if you're working as it shows you have the dedication and commitment to work hard and fulfill your ambitions.

Always check what qualification you come out with and what level it's at. You're better off doing courses at Level 2 (GCSE) and above.

Good luck with your studies.
