Open Study College A levels

I was just wondering if anyone else on here has done any A level equivalents from the open study college? If so, how did/are you getting on with it?

I'm doing psychology and I'm really enjoying it - it's so easy though ... to just read through it and answer questions as you go.

Anyway, does anyone know whether Uni's take open study college students seriously? (I'm doing an Access to higher ed course aswell at college - but I bought the psychology course before I started because I wanted a challenge).

openstudycollege.com ? yeah all A-levels are exactly the same.

Universities will deffo take you seriously, in fact as all A-levels award UCAS points then in theory a Uni would not need to know where the A-level came from.

As all A-level exams are taken in exam centres, it's irrelavent of where you studied so you will be fine; their site looks really good actually

I'm starting out at Open Study college, hoping to do Philosophy and Phycology, I'm also worried about their credibility and the quality of the courses.
