We have around 700 students in more than 30 countries.


They range from beginners to people who work on national and local newspapers, Sky News, Sky Sports, the BBC and local radio stations across the UK and abroad.

We also have many students going through a career change, and growing numbers who find us a cheaper, more flexible option than going to a college or a training centre.

Our director, Cleland Thom, is recognised as one of the UK's leading trainers.

Our courses were featured in a Daily Express article on distance learning. The Express referred to these courses as ones that 'beat other options in flexibility and convenience for those who want to catch up or make a new start.'

We are here to make your dreams come true. We have dozens of students who have found it works for them. Come and join them!

Our partner organisation, Potential.UK.com, provides in-house training courses for businesses, charities and public authorities across the UK.

We are based in Chichester, West Sussex.

 

Why you can trust us

You need to be sure you can trust us before you enrol on one of our courses.

We are members of the
Association of British Correspondence Colleges and are bound by its Code of Ethics.

Our courses were fully accredited by the
Open and Distance Learning Quality Council (ODQLC) in May 2006 following an independent assessment of our administration, learner support and teaching materials.

Our students were contacted by the ODQLC and asked to fill in a questionnaire about all aspects of their tuition.

ODL QC assessors praised our courses, singling out the provision of content and the on-screen interaction between student and teacher as particularly useful innovations.

Dr David Morley, ODL QC chief executive said: "This is one of the best new small provisions to come before council in recent years, and we are delighted to acknowledge its quality."
