Get a sample of the notes

All schools these days are regulated. There are advantages to some and disadvantages to the same. I would recommend that you get a sample of the course notes and see for yourself. You are aways going to get some people who rave about a school and then the cinics.....then again the cinics could be people who couldn't get through the course and blame the school for their failure or have true course with their complaints.

Whichever way you look at it, the majority of the success rate is from the individual student and their application to the study, which has to be very self tough to get through any DL course. Some things to look at:

1. Quality of notes
2. General consensus of past students (not just two or three!)
3. Manner in which you are dealt with
4. Speak to students who were on the course in the last year
5. Money matters
6. Do you have to purchase the whole course or a module at a time.

Good luck
