Looking for some fun? Whatever you do, Don't Click Here!

And what exactly is distance learning? These days, it’s usually online courses, but its origins lie way back before computers were even invented, when course providers mailed materials to their students, who then mailed their assignments back for marking. All that postal to-ing and fro-ing was commonly referred to as a correspondence course.

So why would you choose to study in this way? Many people wish to have a flexible approach to study rather than be held be tight time constraints or having to travel to a classroom. The flexibility of distance learning allows you to work at your own pace, study from home, earn money or continue with your life without your chosen course impacting too heavily on your current lifestyle. In the current climate of rising university fee’s and limited places getting a degree with distance learning through organisations like RDI and the Open University (approx 600 courses!!) is proving to be a very popular it’s cheaper and again gives you the flexibility to work and earn money rather than take on a hefty amount of debt. Distance Learning doesn’t just cover degree’s it goes right across the qualification spectrum from GCSE’s and A levels through to BTEC’s and City & Guilds.

But, you may be thinking, surely there’s that hands-on aspect of teaching which doesn’t exactly work when you’re learning online. That’s as may be, but then again, have a look through this little list of distance learning courses and prepare to be surprised!
