Continued Quality in Cheltenham Distance Learning
Cheltenham Tutorial College is committed to quality. Yesterday, that was independently verified once again by the Open and Distance Learning Quality Council, who renewed Cheltenham’s accredited status for three more years following a rigorous assessment of the college’s work.

Cheltenham Tutorial College works with several thousand students each year, across a wide curriculum of courses, from special interest to post-graduate. The provision is particularly strong in the area of professional courses leading to qualifications from bodies like the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (CIPS).

Chief Executive of ODL QC, Dr David Morley said he was pleased with this decision.
“The quality of service to individual learners is exemplary. Cheltenham Tutorial College is definitely amongst the elite in this respect.”

He added, “Cheltenham is skilful at identifying and meeting needs in the open and distance learning community; both in the support they give learners and in their consultancy work for other organisations.”

Welcoming the news, college principal Mike Rigby said,
“We are subject to accreditation by a number of professional bodies but, without doubt, the most thorough and the one which means most to us is that of ODL QC. It is our industry quality standard and underpins all that we do in our day-to-day dealings with students and tutors.”
