If you cant then there's no difference between the online version and the college one. -

I think if you can its always best to do the course in college. Depending on cost/time etc. Can you get an advanced learner loan?

Having just completed my access course I would recommend doing it at a college rather than online. You can get an advanced learner loan for an Access course at college and it is paid off automatically if you further your studies with university.
It's a fair bit of work that requires plenty of effort but also support from real people that know what they're talking about. Also an advantage of college is that you will have access to their library, laptops/computers and probably get print credits also so you don't waste a fortune printing things out.
It depends on how you learn really. I love to read and online might seem okay but I can be distractible and it's one thing to read what you're supposed to know but entirely another to have a conversation with someone about it. For me it resonates more having a teacher led class than online.
Hope you enjoy whatever it is you do anyway

Has anyone out there used Aspire? Distance learning is the only way forward for me but I can't find any reviews for this company.

Re: Aspire Access to HE, online courses will give you the flexibility to undertake study in your own time, at your own pace and when it is convenient to you. Students seem to be well supported by their assessors, who are subject specialists, they also seem friendly and helpful. Currently you cannot access the government learner loans for these courses, however the fees are less than many college courses, for those who have to pay. Aspire are offering diplomas in several different subjects: Health Professions, Early Years Education, Law, Business Studies, Science and Engineering, Travel and Tourism, Social Work, Public Services. Worth checking out...
