I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have been accepted to do STL L2 Certificate but it’s on an evening I can’t do so I’m back in the wait list.

Does anyone know of any online courses that aren’t super expensive that would be an alternative?

Ideally in want the flexibility to do it in my own time rather than attend every week as it’s not close to my house.

I think it was the Online Learning College I used to do my L3. Reasonably priced and I would recommend.

Only thing I will say is that if you’re choosing to do it online, as opposed to an in-person course, you have to be much stricter with yourself to get it done. There’s no-one encouraging you along or giving your deadlines, so you have to do it to yourself.

Thank you so much for the recommendation. There seemed to be so many so I wanted a suggestion.

I think I will be ok for the self study…I hope!

I’d definitely recommend that site then - I think it was about £300ish for the course, and you’re given 8 months to complete it. If you need longer than that then you pay for the extension.

Good luck! 🙂
