Distance Learning Art Courses

London Art Colleges Accreditation
The college holds full accreditation from the Open & Distance Learning Quality Council. ODLQC, and the Association of British Correspondence Colleges - ABCC. The following page gives a good understanding of the accreditations. Colleges only receive accreditation after rigorous scrutiny of the College, its programmes, tutors and administration. Potential students need to know where good quality can be found as quality is particularly important in Distance Learning. New and inexperienced providers are moving into distance learning, but good intentions and a glossy brochures and web sites are no substitute for experience. What the students need are materials, advice and support that are relevant, reliable and consistent.

ODLQC
The ODLQC was set up by Government in 1968, is recognised as the guardian of Distance Learning standards in the UK. ODLQC accreditation sets the provider apart as a member to one of an elite group of providers. ODLQC accreditation provides independent, authoritive reassurance that the London Art College's courses provide all these things. You can enrol with complete confidence. The Open & Distance Learning Quality Council has carried out a very thorough review of the activities of the London Art College prior to their recent decision to award full accreditation to the College for a three year period. In addition to specialist assessment of the quality of the course materials we provide to our students, and of a detailed examination of the expertise shown by our course artists in the way they responded to our students, ODLQC also invited a sample of past and present students to comment on their experiences of working with the college. An impressive 94% of the questionnaires sent back expressed themselves as satisfied with the college.
