Student Feedback

“My experience with Swansea Distance Learning College has been overwhelmingly positive. A thorough course that enables the student to learn at their own pace, have access to their tutor when needed, and have tools that they can continue their education and build upon what they have learned. You receive more than just a piece of the puzzle and wonder how to incorporate it into your work, you receive the skills to start a project at inception and see it to completion! Great Course!

Aisha, Alumni

I am a currently a stay-at-home mom, with two small children and a household to run and I really appreciated the flexibility to study when it fitted MY schedule. I enjoyed doing something that I have never done, on a topic I knew nothing of !! Well done, what a great course.

Paula, Current Student

The course exceeded my expectations in many regards — especially in the depth of information supplied and the access to the instructor for feedback on work in progress. In a very non-threatening environment,

Aisha is an outstanding teacher who really has excellent course knowledge . She’s obviously enthusiastic about teaching and that made the course very enjoyable. Willing to share her knowledge even if I had questions that went beyond the course material.

Richard, Current Student

I liked that the course included step-by-step exercises and tutorials PLUS unassisted assignments. Unlike exercises where a student can get by simply doing as directed, the assignments reveal the real learning. The assignments were where I discovered whether I truly understood the material. This course produces real learning.
