Based on your grammar, your "distance learning" hasn't been working.  That's going to be a bit more a problem than where the diploma came from.  The difference will depend on the specific job you are applying for.  Some employers only care that you have a college diploma, in which case it won't make much difference where it's from.  Many, however, care about the quality of the education behind the diploma.  In that case, the distance learning aspect will probably be less of a factor than the overall quality of the academic institution.

If you want a skilled job, the best way would be to go back to university - I'm currently doing an Access to Higher Education course which would be suitable for someone like yourself. It teaches skills such as Communications, Maths and Computing as well as 3 specialist subjects in a wide range of areas. This is the best way for a mature student to get to university as it will help you gain the skills and confidence to study at a UK university. I was working in the retail sector before i started the course, and even working my way up - i only managed a salary of about £14,000

Many schools have distance learning courses that you can take anywhere. For example, Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor Michigan does. Go to a college website and look for distance learning classes.

Working in a job, and learning from a comprehensive text or class are two different things.  Both have merit. You have the experience working in IT, but experience alone may keep you from higher or different positions you may want in the future.  No education is wasted, no matter what it is.  You will likely learn things you did not expect or know from your experience alone.  More doors to career opportunities will be there if you have a degree.  The difference will be if you work in IT, or if you run the place.\n\nI say ... go for the education.  You might also consider a degree in a complementary field, rather than studying something you already know.  That too would open more doors for you in the future.\n\nGood Luck!\n\nSue

Online classes can work for people who are very motivated, who don't need much direction from a professor, and who don't mind not having the interaction with others in a classroom.\n\nI teach some distance ed classes, and many students like it. The students who do tend to be students who are working and going to school at the same time, are older and have been out of school, and have specific vocational goals for the classes. Students in our traditional age program have not liked it as well, miss the interaction and social experience that is a growth experience in the traditional college age group.\n\nIf you are taking classes on line try to take them at the best institution that you can. Try to take it at an established university or college that doesn't just do online classes (those that have a traditional campus as well as distance education) and make sure the college is regionally accredited (not just accredited by the Home Study or Distance Education Association, accreditation by whom does not give assurance that the college is considered the same as other colleges.\n\nWhen you are looking at an online program, ask the college what their graduation rate is and what their students do after they are graduated.\n\nSo, the answer is more complex than yes or no. It depends on what you are looking for, what the type of school is, and what you are more comfortable with.\n\nGood luck!

You will need to check if your qualification is recognised in the country in which you want to work.  (England and Wales have the same, while N. Ireland and Scotland each  have a different system.)  If it is not recognised you will need to qualify there, which typically takes one year at university.\n\nIf your qualification is OK, then just apply for jobs as normal - phone and ask for an application form, fill it in, and send it back!\n\nThe most comprehensive source of teaching jobs is the TES (Times Educational Supplement): their website is www.tesjobs.co.uk\nIt also has advice on working in the UK for those who haven't before.\n\nBest of luck.

Not really sure...but the UK Department for Education and Skills is a good place to start (probably) check out their website

You have to submit your degree to a service that will check your degree to see that it is equivalent to one in the United State. They are called Foreign Credential Services.Start at a site like www.naces.org. Click on current members. That's a good place to start. There are a lot of companies out there and there is a fee. Good Luck!!  It can be done.

Many UK universities offer distance learning programs worldwide, including Asian countries. Infact, UK is one of the largest distance learning providers in the world. Check out the sites suggested below for more information.\n\nContact your local British Council office. They will not only guide and provide information, but also assist you with admissions, and they will be your testing centre in most cases.\n\nAbu Dhabi     \nBritish Council Villa No 7 Al Nasr Street \nAl Khaldyia District\nP O Box 46523 \nAbu Dhabi\nUAE \nTelephone 800 22 55 22 \nFax +971 2 666 4340 \nE-mail information@ae.britishcouncil.org \n \nDubai     \nBritish Council Tariq Bin Ziad Road\nNear Rashid Hospital\nP O Box 1636 \nDubai\nUAE \nTelephone 800 22 55 22 \nFax +971 4 337 0703 \nE-mail information@ae.britishcouncil.org \n \nSharjah     \nBritish Council 4th Floor, Omran Tower \nKing Abdul Aziz Road\nSharjah\nP O Box 1636\nDubai\nUAE \nTelephone 800 22 55 22 \nFax +971 6 574 4788 \nE-mail information@ae.britishcouncil.org

Here's a FAQ on the UK primary system aimed at American citizens:  http://www.britishcouncil.org/usa-education-uk-system-k-12-education.htm

Both are excellent. They teach differently, though. I think that Oxford still tends more toward the tutorial method, while Harvard is more like a traditional classroom model.\n\nThink also of the setting--Oxford is in the middle of all the colleges but in a more rural area. Harvard is in the big city with a number of other educational institutions close by.\n\nBoth get exceptionally qualified students so you will have a diverse group of motivated students to be around. I don't know what types of student activities exist at Oxford, but Harvard has the full range of student activities going on--which is more traditional of American Universities--including sports, clubs, etc.\n\nOne other thing to consider if you are thinking about this for your own undergraduate education is where you want to work and what type of work or graduate study you want to pursue. Often alumni of your college and/or your professors will be able to be a network to help you with jobs and graduate study. So, if you are going to stay in the US you might want to consider Harvard, and if you are going to stay in the UK consider Oxford.\n\nYou could go to one of the schools and then do a semester or a full year of study abroad at the other school--get the best of both!!\n\nGood luck!! Neat choice if its yours!!

You can try this university: Henley Management Institute in the UK. They have a distance learning MBA that does not require stay in the UK. Perhaps this may suit you best.

Yes, there are many but the tertiary education system is profoundly different to that of the US.
