The college has a track record of achieving higher than average pass rates across a diverse range of subjects including accounting and bookkeeping, IT and computing, business and marketing, web design, child care, social care and more.

“These pass rates demonstrate that distance learning is a highly effective way to gain career-enhancing, professionally accredited qualifications,” says Dave Snow, Academic Director at Home Learning College. “Home study is the perfect solution for anyone who wants to fit study around their existing professional and personal commitments.
“Our tutors are all trained to offer structured advice and guidance without the need for face to face interaction. This support can be delivered via our vibrant online Virtual Learning Community, by email or over the phone. Time and again our students tell us that their tutor has played an integral role in helping them get the most from their course and successfully pass their exams. We look forward to helping many more people to achieve study success over the coming year.”
