The Association of Distance Learning Colleges

Our Vision

To have the distance learning industry widely recognised as a credible and quality alternative to mainstream learning.

Our Mission

Our aim is to help you, as the learner, find the right course at the right price from a reputable provider who will do all they can to ensure you complete your studies successfully and achieve the goals you have set for yourself.

Our Member Colleges all sign and agree to abide by our Code of Ethics. This Code is your assurance of the high standards of all our course providers.

All our courses are fully tutored – so as you work through your learning materials you will always have advice, guidance, constructive criticism – you will never be left struggling or baffled on your own. Many have active student forums, where you can chat, exchange ideas and ask for help from fellow students.

Our Member Colleges can provide between them distance learning courses in a vast range of subjects. Study at home, at work or wherever is most convenient to you. Go our Courses pages to explore, or type the name of the course you are looking for in the box.

For the best in Distance Learning
