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 explored doing level 7 through ICS too, but when I queried whether I can pause it if I fall pregnant and go on maternity leave the answer was no. This was the sticking point for me. If the law says mothers need at least two weeks downtime after birth then I don't understand why a study course wouldn't be paused too.
    This is steering me towards going with MOL, but the price difference is giving me second thoughts.
    I'm going to see what others might advise before I make my decision.
    Good luck.
