Nykkieberry is right. learndirect (www.learndirect.co.uk) offer the courses, but not the exams. So you can do all of the practising and course work at home online and then go to a test centre to do the exams. If you go to the website and click on the far left circle you can search for courses and centres. You need not go to your local centre as you can sign up virtually. This may mean a huge difference in cost. I work for learndirect and our virtual learning centre (Herefordshire anf Worcestershire)will sign you up for the whole course for �10 (im not joking!), you then have to pay for the tests seperatly. Signing up virtually makes absoluntly no difference to you. Hope this helps.
