experiences with activate learning?

good evening!! im looking into access to higher education courses that will allow me to get a degree in law. activate learning has an online course that seems perfect but i'm worried by the large volume of negative reviews. has anyone had any experiences (positive or negative) with activate learning they'd be willing to share?

hi, I have studied with Open Study College, and I know they do Access to higher education courses. Not sure which one you need but I had a great experience with them and their reviews are good

I'm doing the Science / Radiography online access course with them. I started in Feb this year and will finish end of March. I had no issues with them, tutors have been helpful whenever I needed them. To be fair, I didn't ask them a lot of question, but that is probabaly a good thing. The webinars and materials they sent were enough to get me through the assignements.

Hi, I think it is doable to get the distinctions you need. You can submit a draft for most assignments and get feedback before actual submission, there's only been 2 assignments with no draft feedback so far. I work full time, do most of the course work at the weekend, and I have mostly distinctions so far.
