Being a full-time, hands-on mum is a big job. But it’s also a big opportunity, because, even though you’re busy, as a mum based at home you often have a bit more freedom over how you structure your life.

So why not use that extra freedom to study a subject that will help you start a new career that will fit in perfectly with your new family life.

Home Learning College is the UK’s largest home learning specialist, offering a wide range of home study courses, designed to help you gain a professional qualification, develop your knowledge and skills and help you get the job you want.

Professional qualifications are recognised by employers across a range of industries, so can help give you the best chance possible of improving your career prospects and boosting your future earning power.

With flexible study options and payment plans, you can carry out your studies in your own time, at your own pace and in your own home. There is also full support whenever you need it, from a personal tutor who is an expert in your course, plus an online community where you can chat to other students, and teachers who will help answer your questions.

Home Learning College can also support you in starting a new career, with CV tips, interview advice and more, to help you return to work with confidence.

"The best thing about the courses is not only the knowledge I have gained, but the self worth and confidence. I have so much self-respect now that I no longer consider myself just a Mum, but a qualified bookkeeper with a great future ahead of me. Studying with Home Learning College gave me the flexibility to study at home, and will give me the skills to work in a way that will not impact too heavily on my family."
