    3 Stars Stone Bridge Associated Colleges - My Experience 26/05/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Range Of Course, Quick,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive, Unsure On Validity

    The College Stonebridge Associated Colleges is one of the biggest distance learning colleges in the world which claims to offer over 600 courses worldwide. They are based in Bude, Cornwall, UK but distance learning can be completed either via the postal service or online. Postal tuition comes in the form of text books, paper books put together with enough information to guide you through your chose course in the hope you pass. As with all learning you are expected to source your own external material to assist your learning. This is the method I use. You post your work with a cover sheet and ... more

    5 Stars Think reasonably 01/05/2013
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to understand studying material, great and quick tutor feedback, reasonable prices

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some questions require searching more information outside of the given study material

    While deciding what to do with my life I came across holistic studies on some website and started looking into it. That's how I've found Stonebridge Associated Colleges. They have many interesting courses at reasonable prices. Before enrolling I had to make sure that the online college was legitimate. I have found many negatives reviews about it being a scam and many negative experiences with refund or tutors. I don't see what's the big deal with that. People are just to picky and they need to keep in mind that it is a DISTANCE learning college. How many people are needed to run THAT? Do you ... more

    5 Stars Japanese Holistic Healing Practitioner 01/03/2013
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages various holistic fields, interesting case studies, a lot of information, well structured

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no disadvantage really, but you will need more reading (buy books)

    I have started this course last month, and I’m already at my assignment 12. It says it all! I’m enjoying the course so much and feel excited reading my material and working on my tests! This is a 36-module course, covering so many areas in Holistic Healing, massage (Shiatsu, Anma), Colour Therapy, Crystal Therapy, Anatomy and Physiology, Parapsychology, CBT, Inner Child Healing, Life Coaching, and other fields. It might look long, but for someone who wants to focus on a Holistic career and who is interested in Japanese culture and healing methods, it’s perfect! Of course, you’ll need to ... more

    5 Stars Security & Risk Management Course 25/04/2013

    Advantages Advantages Great Feedback and outstanding personal tutors

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I have just completed the Security & Risk Management Course. From the very start, when I registered with Stonebridge College I found the admin team to be very helpful. Once I started my course and I sent in my very first test paper, my online tutor was fantastic. The feedback, help and encouragement that I received was second to none. I would fully encourage anyone who is working within the security industry and is interested in doing this course to sign up with the college and start it. Everything from the price of the course to the hard copies of my coursework that I received ran very ... more

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None that I can think of!

    Having decided to take control of my own career path, I’ve found that Stonebridge have helped me in this venture by providing highly comprehensive and relevant course materials with helpful and very approachable staff at the other end. The college offers an exceptional variety of courses at different levels, giving me the freedom to design my own study path. And the time flexibility given for my studies has been invaluable!

    5 Stars Child Psychology Level 4 - Fab Course! 15/05/2012

    Advantages Advantages well structured course material and assessment methods, quality support and feedback from tutors

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    I have just completed my final module in the Child Psychology Level 4 course with Stonebridge College and I must say I have enjoyed every minute of learning about the subject and in completing my assignments. The course was very well structured enabling me to progress at my own pace and because the course content was so interesting giving rise to my own further learning, reading and research motivation was not an issue. The modules were very informative, well written and very easy to understand despite the subject matter being positively mentally challenging with test papers at every stage to ... more

    Advantages Advantages affordable, good learning material, diversity of learning courses

    5 Stars Loving the experience 23/02/2012

    Advantages Advantages Can Learn at your own pace

    Disadvantages Disadvantages So far I don't think there is any disadvantage

    "Loving the experience " At first I was a bit worried about how could I learn by a long distance course and not having anyone to guide me through it. Even so I gave it a try and amazingly I found it great ! The materials sent are great. It's very informative and easy to understand. I'm actually learning so much from it. The college has really taken a lot of thought to create such great way of teaching. I have just started but I'm very positive about it. It was very easy to get my self enrolled, not complicated at all. Everything was easy to follow and very safe to pay. Before I enrol myself ... more

    5 Stars The best thing I ever did! 02/08/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent course material, tutor notes, back-up services, associated reading.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None that I can see!

    Taking on a Drug and Alcohol Counselling Course with Stonebridge Associated Colleges was simply the best thing I ever did! I was wary, at 51 years of age, of trying anything that seemed like going 'back to school', but the course is fantastic. My tutors notes, which appear on every assignment that I send off are succinct, thoughtful and very helpful. On the occasions that I've phoned the college with a query, they have been unfailingly polite and seem to 'bend over backwards' in their willingness to help. I have been spending some of my time reading the recommended books for my course and ... more
