AAT Level 2 Certificate

I haven't yet started my course but the process so far has been really easy. Everything is explained clearly both on the website and also over the phone when you call up for information. The enrolment process was really simple and i have been contacted a few times to make sure that everything is okay and that I haven't got any questions.

Helped me choose the best option

Barbara was very helpful, she spent a long time taking over the course options. She went through the initial spiel quickly because I was very short of time, but spent time chatting to me about payment options, and which elective modules I should take.
Very helpful, thank you Barbara.

Brilliant

I contacted Home Learning College (Avado) about a Book-Keeping Course and everything was explained by a personal advisor and then details emailed to me so I could look over everything in my own time. I NEVER felt pressurised into going ahead with the course.

I decided when I was ready to go ahead and set up the payment options, etc and agreed a suitable start date.

Great College!

I found the enrollment process really easy and my enrollment consultant (Leo) was very friendly and helpful, explaining all the course information and pricing clearly. I found Leo so helpful when enrolling in my first year, that i contacted him directly to enroll again for my second year! And he was just as helpful once again!
With regards to the actual course itself, I find the VLC really easy to use and navigate around. The course books are helpful and the study guides are great. With the books, online help and ebooks etc, each lesson is well explained and set out.
However, personally, I didn't find the tutor lessons that helpful in the first year, but i watched them nonetheless and they were informative running over the key points of the lesson. But I personally found them a bit long winded and often unproductive. Also, it often took a few days for the tutor to reply to any queries, which was sometimes frustrating (especially when it was coming close to an exam!)
Overall though, i am very happy with studying with Home Learning College - I am now in my second year!

Too money orrientated. No help when needed

The online portal is fairly easy to use but if you need help, expect to be waiting weeks for a response.
It didn't matter if I called or emailed my "tutor" I never got a response, that in turn meant I couldn't continue to the next module.
After ringing customer services and being promised a call, still no reply from a tutor.
This meant I got logged out after 1 year and got a call offering to continue for 3 months more for a ridiculous amount.
All seems money orrientated and very unprofessional.

Hi Ellie,

Thank you for your review. I'm sorry you weren't happy with the support you received; we take all expressions of dissatisfaction seriously and as such have asked someone in the Student Services team to contact you to gain some more information. Although we can see a number of communications sent to you over the past 12 months inviting you to contact the college we’ve been unable to locate the emails referred to in your post. We would therefore like to talk to you and gain a little more information as regards these communications and the problems you've had. We will hopefully make successful contact with you shortly, however if you have changed any of your contact information please call us on 0208 080 6491.

Kind regards,
Student Services

Go with HLC

After completing AAT Level 2 and Level 3 courses with the HLC, and passing all exams at the first time, there was no brainer that the AAT Level 4 course will be booked with HLC as well :)

My Experience

Home learning college is a great website with a useful platform. There is a team that is always available to help, however, one of the downsides is that it is quite unorganised. It is quite unclear on how to get started with the studying, and we are constantly having to wait for tutors to guide the way; which doesn't tie in with me wanting to get the course completed as soon as possible.
