Oxford Learning College Experiences Wanted

Hi, does anyone have any experience of online studying at Oxford Learning College?
I didn't get the results I needed for uni in 24 so want to resit 2 A levels. I need predicted grades to reapply.

I feel quite demotivated so need a structure and also need predicted grades which they said they would give after 2 assessments have been completed on each course. They also said you get tutor support.

My question is, is it worth the cost of £700 plus exam fees? Other providers like Oxbridge Learning, which looks more professional, charge nearly £1000 per Alevel.

I was about to pay and they sent me their bank details and alarmed me as it was a revolut account and it is not even in their company name. Business in Gibraltor.

Make me very uneasy.

I would ideally like to hear from others who have studied or have experience of them. TIA

You might obtain more answers if you post in one of the A level/sixth form college parts of TSR. This bit of TSR is about the University of Oxford.

As you may have gathered, there are several commercial outfits which seek to trade on the name Oxford, and their quality is likely to be very variable.

If something doesn't look and feel right, then it probably isn't right. In many contexts, you get what you pay for, and if something is cheap it may be cheap for a reason.

A company which operates from an offshore jurisdiction such as Gibraltar is obviously doing so in order to minimise taxes and maximise profits. There is nothing inherently wrong about selling education for profit, but some places are just cynical profit factories, while others actually try to deliver a good product.

I know nothing about any of the commercial providers of A level courses, but I suggest that you don't allow words such as Oxford or Cambridge to influence your purchasing decision. Maybe look at places near to your home.
