hi english woman

When you say "They offer distance learning for the first 2 or 3 years BUT you can only obtain the Diploma by attending the college. "

In one sigh, you are saying it is distance education certificate and in the same sigh you are saying you can't get diploma without attending the school That's very funny. In the whole world, this is criteria that those who can't attend school or college but they fulfil criteria or elgibility of course. They are offered to get admission in distance learning what kind of rule your school has adopted. Do you want to say your school is getting fee through distance but presents the certificate in hand and not through post. For opening a school and issuing certificate in england one does not need any affiliation with any society or organization what so ever in england. even for starting practice in homeopathy you don't need any license from society of homeopath. you can make your own organization. or register yourself with any running organization like www.the-hma.org
