My experience with DistanceLearningCentre.com has been nothing but fantastic from start to finish, from the ease of enrolment, the support received from all my tutors to the assignments themselves (which I honestly enjoyed doing). My tutors guided and supported me in a way that allowed me to fine tune my focus, so that I could really get into the nitty gritty and explore my ideas in depth, rather than trying to cover everything in detail. The development of this skill has really allowed me to develop academically in terms of my writing and will massively support my next step in learning at University.
Without the support I received from all those associated with Distance Learning Centre, I wouldn't have been able to achieve what I have. I wanted to say thank you to all of you. Having the opportunity to participate in a course that is so well designed and is recognised by all the universities has been amazing!
