Any recommendations for good distance learning providers?
I've been taking a couple of free courses (coding L2, cyber security L2) with Learning Curve Group and enjoying them. I was thinking of taking some paid, accredited courses with Learndirect but everything I see online says they're awful. Do you know any places offer distance learning accredited courses? I'm trying to upskill my IT skills, maybe get into a tech role.

Hello, ICT is not my area but I have worked in education for over 10 years.
Have you looked at doing a 'skills boot camp'? They are 12 - 16 week courses which are designed to fast track people into skilled professions and their is big demand in ICT; coding, web security that sort of thing. I believe they are free if you are unemployed and some of the courses are free even if you are not. One of the adverts I saw suggested that they even help you find an interview with a local tech company

You might want to further professionalise your knowledge with an ICT degree or masters down the line at Arden University https://arden.ac.uk/our-courses/subject/computing-it
