Home Learning College recognised with NUS accreditation

The Independent is delighted to announce that from today our partner, home study provider Home Learning College will be an accredited institution recognised by the National Union of Students.

The NUS serves as the unified voice of UK students, representing the interests of over 95%, or seven million of the students in higher or further education. As the only vocational distance learning organisation to have been recognised by the NUS, Home Learning College can now offer its students the NUS Extra Card - affording them a wealth of discounts and offers.

The NUS Extra Card is designed to help students make their cash stretch further. With literally thousands of discounts across a multitude of purchases like books, clothes, gigs and eating out, the announcement will come as excellent news to current and prospective students at Home Learning College.

All current home study students at Home Learning College will be informed of this new benefit through a programme of email marketing, e-newsletters and promotion on the Virtual Learning Community.

Typical savings enjoyed by NUS Extra Cardholders include up to 40% off at high streets stores, 10% off Cross Country Train travel and 5% off at Amazon.
