What our previous students think...

"From an interesting part time interest, to a new career!"

Neville, Cambridge, studied - Mental Health and Social Work Level 4

"I originally did this course as a part time bit of self-study, but it's made me realise that I want to pursue it as a career!"

"Interesting course, and deals with the subject at a high level"

Annette Bridges, Sussex, studied - Mental Health and Social Work Level 4

"I wanted to go to university but I needed a course to give me enough background to get in. It was great to be able to work on my Mental Health course from home as I could still go out to work full-time while I trained up with this course and eventually change career.

It would have been difficult for me to go into a traditional college restrictive timetable. Fortunately this course is both interesting and accredited, so when I'd finished I could start applying for a University place."

"The support I had from my tutor was very good"

Samantha McCarthy, Milton Keynes, studied - Mental Health and Social Work Level 4

"It was great to know I could contact my tutor by email or phone any time I found something that I wasn't clear about.

I would pop out to work on a morning after I'd emailed him and come home to find a detailed reply outlining where I'd gone wrong and how I could improve.

When you're already busy or you'd find it difficult going into a college building every day then you'd probably benefit from home learning, my course with Open Study College was exactly what I needed."

"A convenient way to study a subject I was interested in"

Jennifer Nyne, Rotherham, studied - Mental Health and Social Work Level 4

"The course covered the topics I expected from a Mental health course and I think it was written to a very good standard, explaining key concepts concisely. The section on Mental health legislation was vital and one a few ocassions I did ask my tutor for further clarification.

I loved studying a new subject from my own home, very enjoyable."
