Oxford Open Learning, the distance learning specialist

Oxford Open Learning has been delivering top quality distance learning courses for the last 22 years.

Distance learning courses used to be called correspondence courses because the primary (or only) means of communication was letters in the post, but these days ‘distance learning courses’ covers a number of different modes of home study, personalised learning and communication at a distance – the telephone, e-mail, e-learning sites, various forms of audio and video technology, etc.

Although technology is advancing all the time, Oxford Open Learning retains the philosophy that the telephone is a wonderful tool for communication between students and tutors and we ensure that our tutors are in regular contact with their students at every stage of their studies. Five minutes spent discussing a topic on the telephone tends to lead to more positive outcomes, both in terms of understanding and motivation, than five minutes spent tapping away at an e-mail. We believe that no other distance learning course provider offers the same quality and quantity of telephone support and it is the reason why such a high proportion of our home study students complete their courses and pass their exams.

Although we offer a wide range of distance learning home study courses, our particular specialism is in “academic” qualifications, notably GCSE and A-level. If you would like to learn more about the courses we offer, please click on the links below:
