Access to Social Work distance learning

Can Access to Social Work be completed in 6 months by distance learning? This is what is on offer by Stonebridge College and obtaining a Learner Loan as they state that after July it will no longer be on offer.

How clever are you?
How experienced a learner?
How hard are you willing to work?
Do you have much experience of independent learning?

The feedback on distance learning access courses has been split. Ive seen one person saying they got good support and then others say they had no support and it was a mistake.

Its going to cost many thousands £ worth of debt. Try and speak to a previous student for feedback. can you study on your own and be disciplined plus sort your own issues out?

I would say for new learners that a classroom with a teacher and other students is better. It seems rushed and if you mess up, then you just have debt. It would be possible if you were clever and pit the time in. It could also go very wrong and be expensive. they are unlikely to pay for it again. Weigh it up carefully. Sounds risky to me and i would probably just get experience and work on other aspects of my application then do it starting 2018. In a class. Just know what you are getting into.

Talk to other access students on the mature students section.
