I left school in Ireland at the age of 15 years with no exams or qualifications behind me.When I decided to take the Mediation & Negotiation course with Stonebridge. I did wonder if I would be able to cope with the study involved or indeed understand the course itself.
I have to say it was the best experience I have ever had and well worth the investment of £169.00.Not only did I get 100% as I studied but I also got an A+ in my final exam.I am intending now to do basic law with Stonebridge. I found everyone at Stonebridge College most helpful and very professional.Would I recommend the college to any else,yes indeed I would.

I have recently enrolled on this course, and the content seems good. However, I am doing this to add to my Diloma in counselling which I acheievd after 2 years studying at a college with placement hours, supervision, therapy etc and it concerns me that these distance learning courses dont require any student to have thier work verified, or required to have any experience supervised etc etc and yet give the impression that jobs will be available purely with a distance learning qualification. None of the counselling courses are BACP accredited, and the NHS, schools etc wont consider any interest from those with purely on line diplomas.This is a problem as Counselling is yet to be regulated, so anyone can be " a counsellor" in affect. Having said that, I have looked through other courses at Stonebridge and am very tempted, the info is clearly set out, and quite thorough, so ideal if one wants to add to their qualifications, and like me has a young family and juggling jobs, family and studies.
