Got a letter informing me that ive secured a place on the above course in september, its the online course and before i cough up for it just wondered what other peoples thoughts are on this course and what I should expect.

so you applied and were succesfull and now you dont know what too do ?

Thanks for your, err encouraging words.

 

I know exactly what the course entails having read the prospectous, but if you read the post i was asking what to expect. Having read some posts it seems there is a problem with tutors responding. Just wondered if this was everyones view and what peoples view on the course was.

Which college/uni are you doing the course with?

[log dog]

sorry to be direct . you would be right to ask about course just thought it sounded like second thoughts ! speak to college about response times not people who may have had issues with tutors becouse you may get a one sided view good luck with studies remember you only get out what you put in .

Hi. not sure which online course you're doing but i'm currently going through mine online. Found it really hard to get back into studying after over 10 years away. And juggling a full time job and evrything else means its hard to get motivated. I found the first few units about cellular structure and biology hard going, but the proper tree id, and management side is must more interesting to me. I hope to finish this year and chuck in my day job to try and do tree work for a living. Did my cs30, 31 years ago and hope to try and get cs38 and maybe 39 under my belt before i take the big step. I'm clockin on a bit now at 36 years young and most probably think i'm too old but its what i have wanted to do for years but could never financially make the jump. Good luck with your study, what ever you decide

No log dog, no second thoughts just dont want to be messed around. I like to do my research.

 

And its at Myerscough.

Cheers muppetlab, have done the lantra level 2 in countryside management which focus's alot on practical woodland management and ecology so im partly grounded in what to expect from that, its the scientific/biology bits i may struggle with, and i know what you mean about the age thing, early forties means the old grey matters not what it used to be.
