distance learning

i dont have enough ucas points to be applying for some of the jobs i've been applying to, so i was searching around for some distance learning a levels or something that i can do to boost my points. i dont know whether anybody has already posted this, but i came across the ICS learn site - i know, the one with the annoying tv adverts - but at the moment they have a sale on gcses and a levels, so maybe it's worth taking a look at if you fancy just having something extra on your cv. 149 quid for a 349 quid course is a bargain! :money:

of course, that's only for materials and tutor support, so you need to be wary when you set up the exams because centres can cost a lot. i got burnt last year when i did an extra gcse with a different company - oxford open learning or something. the materials weren't so hot for that though, lots of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors which was quite irritating.

hope ive saved someone some money and also not flouted any rules posting this! :A
