Distance Learning

Hello,

I'm looking to do a GCSE in Chemistry but, I want to do it distance learning so I can fit around work and the kids.

Does anyone have any experience of any of the distance learning companies?

I've looked at the websites for ICS, Learning-At-Home and the National Extension College but, it's hard to get an idea of how good their materials and support are.

Any comments gratefully received.

    The National Extension College are supposed to be really good - I have 'mature' friends who used them for A-Levels to support their medical school applications.
