Online Distance Learning News and Advice

Online study with additional security

Filed under: Distance Learning — admin @ 8:26 am

Many of our students take advantage of our internet facilities. We offer web-based tutor support, internet enrolment and - for our keenest PC users - all our courses are available completely online.

Now, to offer those signing up through our website extra protection, we are Hacker Safe stamped. Each day our pages are tested to ensure they are safe and secure – meaning there are no spying or malicious programs lingering on any part of our site and our students can confidently enter their details.

The security checks are run by anti-virus giant McAfee, which protects more than 250,000 other websites.

As far as we know, we are the only home study provider which offers this level of online security. We only want our students to worry about gaining the most from their courses and not about whether their sensitive information has been compromised.

Computer resource Get Safe Online suggests people only enter their details through sites they trust and which carry badges to show they are safe. Here at Open Study College, we wholeheartedly agree with this advice and are pleased we can now set our students’ minds at ease.
