About Us

So who are we?

ADL is based in the historic university city of Canterbury (England) and welcomes students from around the world.  It is affiliated with ACS Distance Education (Australia) which was established in 1979, and licenses ADL to offer and award ACS courses, certificates and diplomas.

Our educational Philosophy is based on the commitment: Students are our priority.  The Hallmark of any good distance learning institution is the level of support supplied to students as they journey through their studies.  At the heart of ADL are our committed exceptional tutors,  most holding a 3 year degree, with 5 years industry experience and remaining active  in industry. This combination together  with frequent review and updating of courses, application of real world problems and developing the capacity  to solve problems rather than simply regurgitate information, makes our courses and learning experience unique.

ADL does not cater to everyone.  We offer courses designed to be globally relevant, a characteristic we believe important in today's world.  Our goals is to provide a high quality education and cost effective alternative to post secondary education for anyone who is primarily concerned with  developing knowledge and skills that distinguish them from the crowd.

ADL is committed to your success. Please take this opportunity to obtain a qualification that will enhance your career, income and status. There is no better testament to our status than to see our graduates successful in all walks of life:-  in industry, commerce, academia and the professions.
