Why choose Open Study College?

We believe in people. We believe in second chances and new beginnings. We believe in those who have the courage to take a different path towards a brighter future. Every day, we empower you to believe in your potential, providing the confidence you need to fulfil your aspirations — because independent learning is never done alone. Together, we can change lives.

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 online courses require 80 hours of study. That’s around 1 hour and a half a week!

Learning from home doesn’t mean that you are on your own. You have full support from a personal tutor throughout your course. Our experienced tutors help you every step of the way, and you can contact them as regularly as you want!

We think of everyone as an extended member of our community. Our team, our tutors, and most importantly our learners. You won’t be alone throughout your journey, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.

We understand studying is a big investment of time and money. That's why we offer flexible payment plans to spread the cost of your course. Use PayPal, Klarna, or longer-term finance solutions to pay for your course to suit you. Plus, enrol today with interest-free credit!

We'll price match against any other UK retailer if you see the exact course cheaper elsewhere! Just contact our team on 0121 329 4656 to discuss our price match promise.
