How have other people found this course?

“I did a home study course in psychology. The information given was very accurate and said if you could spare 3 hours a week the course would take about a year to complete which is exactly how long it took me. The benefit of home study is you can work at your own pace and rearrange your hours if you need to. Some weeks I did extra hours and some weeks couldn't manage any hours so it was brilliant for me. The knowledge that you had a tutor on hand to answer any queries was great as you knew if you got stuck it wouldn't be a problem. I would definitely recommend home study to anyone looking to further themselves and may look at doing another course at some point in the future.”
