Distance learning providers for Level 7

Kellie

After some very helpful responses on my last post seeking advice for my level 5, I am now after advice for Level 7 on people's experiences with different providers. ICS are appealing to me as I like that it is 100% online and self-paced with no set deadlines. I did my level 5 with DPG which had the same setup and liked the freedom of setting my own pace. I have however seen really mixed reviews about ICS which make me nervous. I've also spoke to MOL about their 100% online course and their exam pass rates seem really good however they are more expensive. I'm also looking to start soon so ICS are attractive in the sense I could get started any day, whereas MOL have set start dates and set deadlines.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

    I am doing level 7 with ICS and the website has been a little difficult to familiarise myself with and get used to. There are some online sessions, but I find that I am having to do the pre recorded ones due to availability of the sessions which obviously doesn't give you much interaction. My tutor has been good with coming back to me quickly on email, so there isn't anything that I wouldn't be able to ask them however, it does feel a little isolated and I find that I get bored of things easily as I am reading material which doesn't sink in without the engagement I think.
    I do like the flexibility and ability to pay monthly, as I did the diploma and it is quite expensive, even with the discounts that they offer. I also liked that I could get started in 24 hours and I don't feel pressured by deadlines.
