Art courses on the web 
 
The London Art College specialises in providing tuition by Distance learning art courses (Home study art courses) and has an international reputation for excellence. 
 
It was established in 1931 by a group of artists and has for many years specialised in providing art correspondence courses supported by artists / tutors who are selected both for their artistic and teaching skills. 
 
The college believes that painting and drawing skills can be acquired by anyone - with proper tuition and practice. We offer a range of courses for home study. There is something for everyone from the complete beginner to the experienced artist. 
LAC and ODLQC Accreditation 
 
The ODLQC was set up by Government in 1968, is recognised as the guardian of Distance Learning standards in the UK. ODLQC accreditation sets the provider apart as a member to one of an elite group of providers. ODL QC accreditation provides independent, authoritive reassurance that the London Art College's courses provide all these things. You can enrol with complete confidence. The Open & Distance Learning Quality Council has carried out a very thorough review of the activities of the London Art College prior to their recent decision to award full accreditation to the College for a three year period. In addition to specialist assessment of the quality of the course materials we provide to our students, and of a detailed examination of the expertise shown by our course artists in the way they responded to our students, ODLQC also invited a sample of past and present students to comment on their experiences of working with the college. An impressive 94% of the questionnaires sent back expressed themselves as satisfied with the college.

The assessor's report to the ODLQC acknowledges the quality of the relationship that is developed with learners, professional courses supported by clear, fair and encouraging guidance from the course artists. The ODLQC accreditation process has underlined the quality of the courses provided by the college, the professionalism and friendliness of the course artists and recognition obtained from past students that our written courses represent very good value for money.  
The college prides itself on offering a warm and welcoming environment in which aspiring artists can develop their skills. Art should be one of the great joys of life, but most people need a little help to get the best out of art. If you want to be a better illustrator or painter, we can help. If you are a beginner and you want a gentle introduction to bring out your talent, we can help. If you don't want to be an artist yourself, but you do want to understand art better, we can help.
