Distance Learning

Hi.

I have got acceptance for MSc finance, accounting and management form bradford university. It's distance learning, through RDI(Resource Development International Ltd).

I had seen a mixed bag of reviews regarding Distance Learning before I finally took the decision to jump into this new learning. At the time it was made clear to me for someone who wished to pursue a career in accountancy that Sage was a software package which would be very important to learn. So with that, I ordered Sage Line 50 off the Learn Direct website. The price was fairly cheap and certainly considering the benefit of undertaking the course, it was worth paying. I received my delivery a couple of days later. The delivery contained instructions and the cd I would need to access the information. In addition to this, I also had the option of emailing the ...  Read the complete review

I studied with the DistanceLearningCentre.com (Distance Learning Centre Ltd, Todmorden Road, Bacup, Lancashire). My experience, like many of the other students was very disappointing. The course materials weren´t adequate (the suggestion was, once signed up, buy lots of books via their website!)and were poorly put together.

My experience of Psychology in year 13 had been enough to put me off continuing the ...  Read the complete review

I have done part of my degree course by using the Open University. I'm afraid it has not been a good experiance. I found the lack of contact with other students quite hard and the tutors not very suportive. I was supposed to have tutorials once a month and they were often to far for me to travel too, changed at the last minute or cancelled at short notice. I found the marking of different tutors extremly different so it was sometimes difficult to know where you were going right or wrong. I would never recommend it to anyone but maybe a different course / career would be more suited to distance learning. I was doing a degree in early Education as I am a nursery manager ...  Read the complete review
