TLDR
Considering retaking GCSEs online? For many adult learners and independent students, traditional education settings don’t fit every learning style. Studying through flexible GCSE distance learning allows you to retake core subjects like GCSE English and Maths retake courses at your own pace. With tailored tutor support and interactive online GCSE courses, distance learning can help rebuild study confidence and opens doors to higher education, careers, and independent living.
At NEC, providing a safe and comfortable environment for individuals to learn is always at the forefront of how we provide our service to our students. Many students seek out distance learning providers to help them continue their education regardless of their past difficulties in traditional education settings. In Amelia’s case, choosing to study with NEC went far beyond gaining qualifications. It also enabled her to regain confidence through her studies.
Rebuilding Confidence by Retaking GCSEs
From her past experiences, Amelia tells us that her time in education was unfortunately shaky, not helped by the difficulties brought on as a result of the Covid outbreak in 2019.
“Shaky with lots of absences and after Covid, it became impossible” – Amelia
When she decided to study with NEC, Amelia took on three GCSE subjects, English, Maths and Science in an effort to retake her GCSEs.
Why Amelia Chose NEC: Interactive Learning and Personalised Tutor Support
Thankfully, Amelia’s experience with NEC was a positive one with a number of factors playing a part. Amelia particularly gives credit to the flexibility and interactiveness of NEC’s distance learning courses being a significant help. She also suggests that “The combination of interactive and independent learning” was why she chose NEC as her course provider.
Comparing Distance Learning Providers
For many students, taking the time to research distance learning providers is a key part of their decision-making process when finding the best fit for them. Factors including course subject range, tutor involvement, entry requirements and more can all be deciders. For Amelia, a positive that stood out to her when comparing providers and courses was that NEC was:
“More personalised with better feedback.” – Amelia’
This feeling continued throughout her studies, “The tutors have all been great.”
Achieving Independence Through Online Study
We often ask our students where they hope their studies will take them once their course is complete. University placements, higher education and new career paths are common answers, however for Amelia, she hopes to gain something more personal as she mentions “Independent living and being able to self-support financially.”
We hope to see Amelia do just that.
If you’re considering if a distance learning course is the right next step for you, Amelia happily recommends NEC stating that, “Yes NEC would be my first option if I was looking to take any more courses.” with the advice to anyone thinking about distance learning, “It doesn’t work for everyone, but it’s definitely worth trying.”
