Welcome to the Oxford Open Learning Trust. We are probably Britain’s premier GCSE, IGCSE and A level distance learning course specialist. We have a long and established history of providing the best home study options available.

The Oxford Open Learning Trust is dedicated to helping you achieve your goals at a time and place that suits you. Whether you describe our courses as distance learning courses, home study courses, learning from home, or correspondence courses, it all adds up to the same thing for you, the best home study courses & distance learning courses available in the UK.

Our distance learning courses start with a call to one of our Student Advisers, who will be able to give you advice and help both in choosing a home study course and in letting you know exactly what to expect when studying a home study course. Call us today on 0800 9 75 75 75.

Once you have enrolled on your chosen course you will be tutored by a subject specialist, fully qualified teacher.  Typically all our tutors hold either a B.Ed or PGCE and have UK Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

Whilst all learning is useful, it is vital to be able to demonstrate your achievements when you are applying for a job or looking to move on to higher education. That is why nearly all Oxford Open Distance Learning courses link to nationally recognised qualifications.

We look forward to enrolling you onto a distance learning course, you couldn’t be in safer hands than the Oxford Open Learning Trust.

Having a full time job, a flexible approach to study was the key for me. Distance learning was ideal, as I could work at my own pace knowing that help was only a phone call away.
