We’re passionate about helping you to achieve your goals without the restrictions of a traditional college. With over 700 online courses and qualifications to choose from, we’re sure you’ll be able to find the perfect course for you and your goals.
As one of the leading distance learning colleges in the UK, we have taught over 250,000 courses and empowered over 150,000 students to change their lives.
We understand that everyone’s learning journey, whatever that may be, is personal, different, exciting, and sometimes difficult. Here at Adult Education College, we know that we are in the privileged position of being the enablers of positive life-altering change. Our team are here to do what we can to help people achieve their goals and thrive in life – we are an expert, a friendly ear, a 24/7 support, and your wildly enthusiastic cheerleader! We will empower you to move forward with your goals and we will always have your best interests at the heart of what we do. The entire Adult Education College family want to help you achieve your ambitions, and we will provide you with the excitement and encouragement you need throughout your journey with Adult Education College.
Our distance learning courses are specifically designed to be studied from home. We have made it easy to study at home around your busy schedule using either a course pack or your smartphone, tablet, or laptop to access our e-learning platform.
We understand that everyone learns in different ways and at a different pace. As an online college, when you enrol with us, you can study your course on your own terms. With the exception of a few qualifications such as A Levels, GCSEs, and Access to HE to name a few, there are no strict deadlines to contend with. Submit your coursework to your tutor in as much or as little time as you need and set your own study rules.
All of our qualifications are independently accredited by established awarding organisations to provide AAT, NEBOSH, Active IQ, and NCFE CACHE courses to name a few. It’s easier to get the job you want when you have an employer-recognised qualification on your CV.
Quality is important when it comes to our home learning courses. That’s why each independent awarding body performs detailed, rigorous checks to ensure our courses meet their high standards.
Your prospectus will be emailed to you shortly. You will also receive a call from one of our friendly education specialists within 24 hours, Monday to Saturday, to see how we can help you achieve your goals.
Home learning puts you in charge of your studies. This means you can study around your commitments instead of fitting your life around your learning. On each course page on our website, you’ll find approximately how many study hours are required for each course, which should help you decide if it is achievable alongside your other commitments.
There are no scheduled classes to attend or timetables to abide by. Our online courses are designed for people who need to fit learning around their existing commitments.
Distance learning shouldn’t mean that you are on your own. Throughout your study experience, you will receive a specialist, personal tutor, who will offer unlimited expert support and guidance during your course. You’ll have full access to our online helpdesk and our learner services team is just a phone call away.
When enrolling with us, you can tailor your experience to suit you. The study method you choose will depend on your personal learning style. For most of our distance learning courses, you will be able to choose from the following two options:
Study pack: if you choose the study pack option, you will be sent a set of printed course materials which you can highlight and annotate as you go.
Study online: if you choose the online study option, you will be sent your login details to our online learning portal through which you will access your digital course materials.
For some of our qualifications, including AAT, A Levels, and GCSEs, we offer exam packages where we will book and pay for your exams (and practical sessions where necessary) for you, taking some of the unnecessary stress away and allowing you to focus on your studies.
