Purchased Community Mental Health Course last February with a year to complete feedback and communication at first was good, with quick responses. I am now a month away from finishing my course and feedback communication is terrible my assignment feedback is a month late have left seven emails one to my tutor asking what is happening received nothing helpful. Tutor emails to say my support is ending soon but doesn`t mark my work joke! My Distance Learning number isn`t ringing out what to do?Four weeks left and to assignments needing to submit and collect feedback plus the one i`ve been waiting a month for. Help you be much appreciated as I want to finish the course and collect my certificate.

Thought forensic science course sounded very interesting so through groupon applied. Only paid for electronic version of notes, which you cant copy or print. Notes had many spelling errors which I thought was very inappropriate for a course! I only had 3 assignments to complete and they were multiple choice questions. If you chose you wouldn't even need to read the course notes to submit the assignments. You would get an email saying they would be marked within 10 days - however they were obviously marked electronically as they results would be back in seconds. At one stage I lost all my notes for the review task that were meant to be saved on the system. After several emails contacting support this issue wasn't resolved - luckily you don't need the review question notes. Very confusing system for submitting a query. Overall I am not happy that I paid £40 for a course that I cant keep the notes for, and I'm not even sure of the validity of the certificate - BE CAREFUL - CHECK CAREFULLY BEFORE ENROLLING

it has been interesting reading all the reviews of courses. I was tempted to book a HTLA level 4 course via a coupon price reduction scheme. I have done some research however, and am concerned that the course is now accredited by Focus Awards, whose address is the same as My Distance Learning College, and not the well recognised ncfe. Also the blurb actually states (again upon research) that this course is accredited but is not actually a Qualification-more a CPD course-so may not be accepted by employers. I think I will not, at this time, take this any further. all the reviews have been helpful.

I am studying Zoology through this college simply because I'm on my summer break from university, found a really good deal on Wowcher and am looking to make it seem like I'm more determined on my CV. I have absolutely no idea how creditable this course is, and to be perfectly honest, I don't really care. I only paid £40 for the course but I certainly wouldn't pay what they ask on the website. I'm on my fourth out of five assignments and so far I've used the course content once. As you need to reference your sources, I've simply used Google to help me answer all of the questions. I understand that some people will have been out of education for a long time, some are genuinely looking to learn something new, some may be computer illiterate and others may find working online unnatural. However whether you have these skills or not, don't be roped into buying books. It's really not worth it for the length of the course. I've read many many bad reviews of this college and that scared me a little when I signed up, but I thought £40 is nothing to lose for the sake of another qualification to put on my CV. If you genuinely have no other options but to enroll on an online course to get a job you want, I wouldn't recommend this college- try something more professional such as the Open University which is more expensive but actually recognised by employers. However if you are simply looking to do it as more of a hobby or a time filler then you could learn a bit. So far I've already learned everything which is involved in the course content, but I suppose that's a good sign that they cover all the basics for people travelling down a completely new career path. Another issue I've had, which was mentioned many times in reviews I myself read before enrolling, is that whilst MDLC claims to have great tutor support, I have received little of what has been promised. When I handed in my first assignment the feedback form was very basic and gave no indication other than "you have passed" "you answered this question correctly" "you described what you were asked" etc. I would hope that they would be much more helpful if somebody had failed an assignment, but I still have 2 to go so let's see! Again I'd like to reiterate my title- look on Wowcher before you purchase any course from the website. £160 is a hell of a saving to make, especially when you could be as disappointed as me and hundreds of other people who have reviewed this college.

I bought a wowcher voucher for a discounted course, it has took 2 weeks to get access to the questions, Done assignment 1 and 2 and it says the course is completed. Now to me this is not a course at all, you pay for a course and expect to get a course. Customer services have however responded quite quickly to all my issues, but I am disgusted at the cost just to answer 2 assignments, which by the way were multiple choice questions, which also wasn't mentioned when I enrolled onto the course. I have seen a lot of reviews on here, and yes you have a lot of students, but that is no excuse to treat people like this.
