Study Pardners?

After much time and effort spent procrastinating, I've finally applied to Myerscough to do their online foundation degree - arb' :scared1:.

 

The important word here being "applied", as I haven't been offered or accepted a place for this September... Though it's hard to see how they could possibly refuse me :001_tongue:

 

Ayway, testing the waters to see if anyone else in the London area is doing the same course and wants to arrange some sort of joint study? I know having someone else there to occasionally nag / persuade / guilttrip me does wonders for keeping me focussed when my enthuism starts to wain. And I'm not too bad at reciprocating.

I think we can all cajole you when you start to slack. Welcome to Arbtalk:001_smile:

 

Thank ya.

 

It's been far too many years since I've been in any sort of formal education and I don't think that larking around at Capel for a few days a week in the distant past has prepared me very well for real, hardcore learning.

 

Think I'm gonna need all the support I can get :ohmy:

I wandered about whether to do the tech cert or FdSc. I decided that if I did a tech cert the next step would be an FdSc so I decided to save myself a year and go straight for the FdSc.

 

It depends on what you want out of it and if you have 1 or 3 years of evenings to sacrafice.

Again, it depends what you want to do with your new found knowledge. The good thing about the Tec Cert is that you can work full while doing this quite easily, and industry experience is invaluable for getting through both parts of the exam.

 

I know the Foundation is a qualification in it's own right, but it is geared towards getting the full BSc. Down side: huge chunk of your life taken over, even doing it part time. Plus side: knowledge and qualification is much more transferable.

 

I don't really think the two qualifications are comparable. If you think that you'll want to carry on studying after doing the Tec Cert, then in my wordly opinion I reckon you should by pass it. If you're not too sure about you're future career path, then do the Tech Cert as it's still a very good ticket to have.
