Hi Ari
I can send you privately an article I wrote called Going The Distance. It
discusses the providers I used to do such courses with, how to contact them,
and their fees. It might be a starting point for you, even if the courses
in question aren't what you want to do.
As for the Open University, I tried and didn't like them, so apologies to
anyone on the list who works or is associated with them. I found their
materials inaccessible and the whole thing a bit rigid. They just didn't do
it for me at all, and I much preferred the distance learning providers I
used so successfully.
I hope that helps.
Jackie
