Get your qualification, get the right job!
A qualification can be the difference between getting your dream job and staying stuck in an employment rut!
Study for your recognised qualification, without the restrictions of traditional college. Choose when and where to study and take as long as you need*!
We only work with independent, recognised award bodies to develop courses that lead to a powerful qualification.
Over 20,000 students have enrolled with Open Study College because we are one of the best, most respected home learning colleges in the UK!
Trusted qualifications
All of our courses are independently accredited from long-established awarding organisations with qualifications such as BTEC, NVQ, NCFE, and A-Level. It's easier to get a job when you have an employer recognised qualification.
Each independent award body perform detailed, rigorous checks to ensure our courses meets their high standards.
Study from home, at your own pace
If you struggle to find time to study every day at a traditional college, a home learning course is an ideal solution. Over 20,000 people have studied with us from home and enjoyed full support from a tutor.
You'll study whenever you want, at your own pace. There are no strict deadlines (you'll have up to a year and most of our courses require 80 hours of study- that's around 1 hour and a half a week).
You could complete your course in 2 weeks or 12 months- it's up to you.
Carefully planned and written courses that are easy to understand
On average, it takes between 80 and 100 hours for a student to complete one of our courses- it can take up to five times longer for us to write it. And that's just the first draft.
After planning, research and the completion of the first draft, our course writer hands it over to our academic manager for review.
"Over 30,000 words are manually checked- we don't rely solely on automated tools. This stops typographical errors creeping in. Then we check the readability."
- Thomas Cavanagh, Academic Manager
We apply a well-known readability test known as the 'Flesch-Kincaid' readability score. It is calculated based on sentence length, and how complicated each word is. This is just one factor in a review that helps to make sure our course material is easy to understand.
We spend all this time working on our courses, so you can work through them faster.
Your tutor is ready to help throughout your course
Just because you are learning from home- you still have support from a tutor. Our tutor will help you every step of the way, you can email her whenever you want.
Accredited education from home- no experience necessary
It doesn't matter how experienced you are, we have the right course to help you improve your skills.
