Given today's busy modern society, people often struggle to study due to factors such as cost, time and effort required; particularly when one has to earn a living by working, on top of other personal commitments. When I studied via distance learning for the first time 23 years ago, it was a critical decision that I chose despite the lack of advice or books based on real life experience. Today, December 2017, I have managed to study via distance learning for 12 years and have achieved three professional qualifications (ACCA, CPA and CPS), two certificates (in poultry management and in education and training, PTLLS), read the entire Holy Bible (Old and New Testament) and am currently pursuing a Graduate Diploma in Law (iGDL). My book, The Successful Distance Learning Adventure will therefore assist you on getting started with distance learning. Enjoy
