Home Learning?

Question

Anyone taken a course through one of the home learning colleges, like DCA or ICS? Or another one? Can anyone recommend the best on for me, and also if their qualifications are recognise everywhere? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

It really depends what you are taking but AQA  is good and well recognised. I have used it during my home tutoring.

Answer 5

The Open University is brilliant if you want to study at undergraduate level or higher.

http://www.open.ac.uk

If you are after GCSEs/A' Levels or vocational courses, then I would recommend ICS

http://www.icslearn.co.uk

and NEC

http://www.nec.ac.uk/info/?usca_p=t

However, take a look at Little Arthur

http://www.littlearthur.org.uk/

They do the IGCSEs rather than GCSE. IGCSEs are a little more difficult than GCSEs but are increasingly becoming more highly thought of than the normal GCSE. Also Little Arthur is much less expensive than NEC or ICS at around £145 per course. They are also highly recommended by many home-educated families.

Do NOT use ICS.  They are the biggest load of con merchants around.  I asked a question nearly 7 YEARS ago and I STILL waiting for an answer.

Answer 9

My older kids took courses from the time they were 14 from the University of Missouri.  My younger kids took/take online college courses from the local community college.  I preferred the U of MO, but the local college is cheaper.
