The Benefits of Distance Learning
Most of us associate learning with school, college or university, but all you really need for learning are quality materials and expert support. As most of our course materials are printed, you can learn anywhere you like: at home, on the train, in the park – wherever! And thanks to modern technology, support is only ever a phone call or an email away.

Experts in Distance Learning
ICS have been enrolling students on distance learning courses for over 100 years. With teams of student advisors, tutors, mentors and support staff, we are certain that you won't find a better distance learning provider who has as much experience in providing help to students learning from home. With use of social networks ICS are keen to make the learning experience with ICS as smooth as possible and encourages peer-to-peer support through our Facebook page and partnership with MyJotter.

Learn in your own time
Nowadays everyone’s in a rush, and you might think you simply don’t have the time to learn. But with distance learning courses, you choose when to learn. There are no term times – your course simply starts when you enrol. All our courses are flexible and can be tailored to meet your needs, whether you need a qualification quickly and intend to study intensively, or whether you can only spare a little time each week.

Learn while you earn
You don’t have to give up your job to take a distance learning course, so you won’t be compromising your income. What’s more, because you’re learning in your own time in a place that suits you, rather than from a lecturer in a university or college, we’re able to keep the costs down – meaning you can afford to learn.
Learn to earn
By completing one of our distance learning courses you’ll gain a respected and recognised qualification. We offer university degrees – accredited by the University of East London, Edinburgh Napier University or Anglia Ruskin University – as well as qualifications accredited by Exexcel, Microsoft, CIPD, and many other respected bodies (see Links for a full list). A distance learning qualification can improve your job prospects and increase your earning potential. Of course, it’s not just about the money, either. With the right qualification you can build a fulfilling and rewarding career for yourself.
Supported open learning
Just because you’re learning from home doesn’t mean you won’t be supported every step of the way. We care about our students and we want them to succeed. As an ICS student you’ll be able to contact an experienced tutor for guidance and help with your course. You’ll also have access to the online Student Community, allowing you to meet other students and view our online resources.
