Has anyone studied by correspondence through either open collages, oten or seek learning and have any feed back? Im looking into doing a diploma of community services and the price difference is huge with open collages being the cheapest by 6k although just from a Google search it seems a lot of people wouldn't recommend open collages so I'm at a loss with who to go with.

I am doing a course through Oten at the moment. And in my opinion they are fantastic. I started the course about a month before I got pregnant so it really ruined my plans to pump out assignments. They've given me an extension of 3 months because I couldn't get it done in time. And I just think they are great. And cheap
I study online with the ECU. It's not easy, but worth it as I will gain a qualification at the end. It is manageable but be aware it will not be as easy as place make it out to be. It's the same amount of work, if. Or more when studying online/via correspondence. If it works for you go for it. It's not for everyone, bit give it a try. It may work out better than you expected. Oh and I get it on hex, as it's a uni degree
Don't go through Open Colleges, they are useless!! I was lucky enough to be able to cancel my community services course but it took ages.
