Home Learning College Numbers
Apr 28th, 2008 at 1:44pm
 
Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone can get an alt number for the Home Learning College.  I have a 0871 number for making payments and it's a nightmare as I only have my mobile.  My tutor's number is also a nightmare as it's 0844.  Help would be great.  Numbers are:

0871 244 2829 (for payments)
0844 892 1064 (for the tutor)

Fangs!

Can you provide some more information, as suggested in the instructions? Basically anything you know about the service. For example, an address, web address. If the payments 0871 number has a different address to the other one, then that would be useful. Information like this can be found on company's websites, and terms and conditions and literature you may have.

What is the nature of your call? Customer services, complaints, new business etc.

Where is the company based? A full address is always useful.

Why do you want to contact them?
To make payments and call my tutor without having to pay through the nose!

Hope that's enough info -it's all I could get!

Do you know if tutors are all based at Beckenham address you've given? Do you meet tutors face to face or is it purely via the telephone?

Terms & Conditions gives a registered address:

Home Learning College LIMITED trading as Home Learning College.

Registered in England with number 06177616.

Registered office address:

Brettenham House
Lancaster Place
London
EC2E 7EN

Telephone: 0208 676 9477
email: student.enquiries@homelearningcollege.com
VAT registration number: 918560018

This phone number may or may not be of any use. It's displayed alongside the registered office, rather than the Beckenham one, so may well be for the former.


Looking at http://www.afcpd.co.uk/ reveals a phone number for the Beckenham address: 020 8778 4949

Thanks for your "Sherlocking" Dave.  Problem is that I don't think the call centre I call to make payments is at the Beckenham addy as they never take payments and always give me another number.  The tutor isn't based in Beckenham and there is no face to face but on the bright side it seems I can email and as tutors are only available in work hours I can just email from work.

Really grateful for your help.

Terms & Conditions also refers to "Academy for Continuous Professional Development" or ACPD whose registered office is:

ACPD Limited
332 Hill Lane
Southampton
Hampshire
SO15 7NW

Registered in England No.4890130

After this address it says "(or any successor which we may appoint);" so this looks like a third party. Its website is the one I found previously, www.afcpd.co.uk, and it has another Southampton number shown on the homepage: 023 8052 8413

How does ACPD figure in this?  Huh

hmmm I dont noh!  It's a bit strange.  When you study through the HLC you usually do a quali called an ACITP so may be the ACPD have something to do with that.  I really couldn't say...The course is good though  Smiley

The about page for ACPD or AFCPD (don't those acronyms just trip off the tongue  Roll Eyes) says:

Quote:
What can ACPD offer you?

    * Dedicated Tuition by professional Tutors
    * Telephone Support by a 0800 free phone number
    * ACPD Qualification
    * Additional Student Support
    * Learn at Home, in your own time, at your own pace!
    * Additional Tutor Support to assist completion of course

All courses are supplied by Home Learning College

So looks to me like the tutors may have a connection ACPD. It identifies itself as "Association of Continuous Professional Development" and "Academy of Continuous Professional Development". Not sure why there's more than one name on its website.  Undecided
