National Extension College Reviews 242

My daughter has not yet sat for the IGCSE in this subject -Combined science. We are appreciative that there exists this course in the first place as it was hard to find providers. However, in today’s world, we found that a course just reading based is tough for one to do self-paced. Video links for the lessons would help and perhaps more tests at the end of each chapter would help for memory recall and for the student to take ownership. As the course is, one is to be heavily accompanied by an adult! Also perhaps instead of HW at the end of 5 chapters, a HW after each chapter might make one go swifter and again perhaps better for recall in run up to exam. A HW after 5 chapters is daunting and slows the pace as one has to actually finish 5 chapters to write the assignment! This slows the pace. Of course at A level all this may be as the student will be older but at I/GCSE level a student is way younger for such a heavy self-paced!

The staff were polite, efficient, extremely helping and knowledgeable regarding my GCSE Astronomy course.

I’ve had an incredibly positive experience with NEC. From the moment I joined, the support I received has been exceptional.

I enrolled relatively late in my academic journey, and NEC provided me with the opportunity and flexibility I needed to continue my studies at a crucial time. Their support has made a significant difference in helping me stay on track and work towards my exams with confidence.

Beyond academics, NEC has also helped me gain clarity about my future and feel more optimistic about my next steps, including university.

I’m truly grateful for the support and opportunities they’ve provided.

The enrollment process was smooth, and the study platform was easy to navigate. The course content is clear, easy to understand, and relates well to practical examples. So far, the experience has been very positive.

Given the opportunity to study a well structured physics course, given that I work full time this creates an exceptionally easy structure to follow alongside my work and other studies.

I had a couple of enquiries about the course I wanted to take before I went ahead with the purchase, these were promptly answered and made me feel secure that I was signing up to something supported and robust. The enrolment was an easy process and everything went as planned very quickly and smoothly.

I've recently started an IGCSE language course with the NEC, and find the course pages excellent. Everything is well-laid out, with good explanations, links to external resources, self assessment tests, a forum to connect with other students or ask questions, and a pleasant tutor who made contact swiftly - altogether a very engaging and interactive course.
Thoroughly recommend.

Though I just started studying with you, my experience so far has been delightful. My tutors have been polite and helpful with emails and feedback. And the way the programme is arranged is so amazing.

As a university lecturer and ex-teacher currently pursuing an A level for fun (it's quite the tale!), I must say I've found the course materials exceptional. The content is thoughtfully structured, highly engaging, and effectively caters to a distance learner's requirements, particularly when studying online without the company of classmates or direct interaction with a tutor.

Five stars all the way! The service is outstanding and prompt, offering insightful analyses of essential reading materials. It provides a superb overview and clarification of the A Level Literature qualification and examination. I highly endorse this provider.

Certainly! Please provide the review you'd like rephrased.

Very satisfied till now, and hoping that NEC will assist while booking the exams. I am positive so far.

as far as I can tell at the moment I am happy. I do find it difficult to sign on each time and find the internet site.

I highly recommend The National Extension College. As the parent of a current ‘A’ Level student here, I am really impressed with the level of communication and support in all areas, including teaching, pastoral, and examination access and bookings. I am so grateful for their help in securing a safe and individualised education pathway for my son. Thank you to everyone at this incredible college.

Amazing communication via email or phone . This is my third course I've done with them and I've got the support I needed. Applying for exams is a easy and stress free process.

Responsive and helpful. Excellent resources.

Extremely useful even though short time constraint

v helpful staff, but too much intro material on line to wade through

Well-structured and thorough signposting to a variety of resources.

National Extension College enrolled me on the Edexcel 'A' Level in Further Mathematics and I have generally been very happy with the service I have received, with the exception of the initial phonecall when the line connection was very poor. They have always been very helpful and have left me with a good impression of NEC, well done !!
