    hello everyone. I recently came into some money and have been thinking about doing a btec or something similar in one of these online colleges, mainly in london. Just like to know if anyone has any experience on these course, I would much appreciate any feedback. Thanks

      Saw a documentary a while back about some woman who was charging for accredited course, but when investigated was just pocketing the money and the certificate meant jack shite.
      I would ask for who they are issuing qualifications for and double check with the local authority if in doubt

        A lot of the Open University courses are now mostly online with the diploma's/degree's being accepted as being equal to any other university

          I can really recommend the Open University. I'm 4 years into a 6 year computing and design degree (you dont have to commit to that much!) and honestly have learned more than I ever thought. Expensive though!

            Yeah Open university courses are top notch, as for the others I'd be very wary !
