Distance Learning For You

ICS distance learning is the alternative to traditional education which offers you the chance to study from home in your own time - or from work or wherever you choose. It's your opportunity to learn new skills and achieve your goals, when you thought you didn't have the time or money to do it.

As the world's most experienced distance learning organisation, our qualifications are approved by leading professional bodies, exam boards and top UK universities, so you get the assurance of a recognised qualification. By choosing ICS distance learning, you choose a flexible and affordable way to learn new skills, improve skills, gain a new qualification, fulfil a passion or simply change direction in your life.

Our aim is to make learning as accessible as possible, allowing you to get the skills, training and qualifications you want, in a way that offers you complete flexibility. Whatever your objectives, we can equip you with the right skills to get ahead, and we'll support you all the way through. As pioneers of distance learning, we have helped make a positive difference to the lives of 13 million people, helping them to get where they want to be.

We offer more than 200 flexible courses for people with different needs, interests and ambitions, from GCSE, IGCSE and A Level through to degrees, professional and vocational awards plus a growing range of IT courses. In fact, we're the biggest organisation in the UK for distance learning GCSE and A Levels. Our qualifications are approved by leading professional bodies, exam boards and universities and recognised throughout the world. Moreover, for most courses you don't need any previous qualifications and we'll help you choose the right course for you. We also provide short courses to develop work-related skills and if you want to follow a passion or explore something new, our creative and interest courses may be just what you're looking for. Our courses comprise high quality materials, whether printed, online, on CD or DVD. You also have your online Student Community, from which you get many benefits.

We know that learning from home needs real willpower at times, which is why we ensure you're not alone. You'll be supported by expert Tutors, Mentors and fellow students to help you with day-to-day inquiries so you'll never feel alone.
