The UK Open College has over ten years experience in delivering distance learning programmes. Based in Tamworth in Staffordshire we have built up and developed a student database from all over the world. From Birmingham to Bombay, Swansea to Switzerland, with home learning distance is never a barrier.

After years of working in the Home Learning industry we soon came to realise that the people who really needed to learn were people on lower incomes. People who were in low paid jobs, unemployed or bringing up young families. We had spoken to numerous students over the years who really wanted to better themselves and improve their prospects but the one thing that stopped them was money or lack of it. What was the point of college if the students that really wanted to study could not afford to? How could these people ever improve their future when it was beyond their reach? We have the answer at the UK Open College.

Over many years we have helped hundreds of students get the qualifications they need and have made the fees affordable to them all. We have numerous payment plans available at an affordable cost. Whatever the situation we can help. We can cater for every budget when most colleges or private training companies can't or won't.

This approach has made us very unique and also helped us build a solid reputation of which we are proud. We continue to attract students from all kinds of backgrounds. Students as young as 14 and as old as 80. Learning from home offers a very relaxed way of learning at a speed that suits students on a more personal level rather than trying to suit a whole class. We realise the classroom envoirnment is not for everyone particularly mature students who continually say that they dont have the confidence to attend a college.

Home learning also produces very high pass rates. Over 80% of students who register for home study complete their courses first time. Compared to a national average of just over 20% who attend college locally. The major factor in this being that students who register for home study really want to study and are prepared to finance their own education. Unfortunately a high percentage of students attending college are now on funded courses through employers or the government, this generally results in high drop out rates due to lack of real commitment.

The flexibility and convenience of distance learning has never been more appealing. The UK Open College is real proof of that. Affordable learning at your own pace! We continue to grow due to the demands off todays busy lifestyles.
