Distance learning horse courses?

[VoyPor]

I have been looking for a few months to study in equine science or equine nutrition or massage.

Does anyone have any recommendations of courses they have either been on or are on, that arent a rip off that do not lead anywhere?

There are so many courses out there in regards to equines - its difficult to choose from them - a lot of them are expensive too and i dont want to pay a lot of money for something which is of no use.

Thanks.

Not much help, in the fact that I haven't tried any of the courses from either of these places yet!

But these are the two places I'm trying to decide between

What level are you looking at? And what do you want to do long term? That is crucial to deciding what the best course is.

I would have thought that your best "safe" bet would either be a BHS qualification or a course run by the open university culminating in a degree (you can start with an access course).

I am currently on an equine science course with Oxford College of Distance Learning. It cost over £300 but totally worth it, you can pay in installments like i did and you can get grants i think? anyway, its a very good course, its 2 years long although you can finnish it whenever you're ready. Its a level 3 diploma course and its also certificated by acentis(sp?). Very very good course, i'd reccomend it
