    If you're aged 19+ and live in England you can:

    Achieve a work-related qualification accredited by OCR, Edexcel, Lifetime Awarding, NCFE or City & Guilds
    • Work at your own pace, in your own time
    • Receive support from a Further Education (FE) College online tutor.
    • Returning to learning is great for your self-esteem, your CV and potentially your bank balance!

    As vision2learn courses lead to national qualifications they are eligible for government funding initiatives...which means you may be able to study for free.

    Places on all courses are limited.


    I have studied Level 2 in Business Administration and Customer Service. However you do need to study at least 10 hours a week and meet the deadlines otherwise you will get fined £150 for wasting time. You are given an online tutor who marks your work and gives you feedback where necessary. I completed the course on time and was given an Edexcel certificate (sent through the post) after completion.

    I did one last year also Business and Admin. It was interesting but I don't think the qualification would help towards employment since it's only very basic compared to say a proper NVQ.
