Distance learning

This makes me a sad little camper

I was really hoping to go onto an on-line level 4 after my current level 2 with Myerscough.... time for a (another) rethink

 

No don't let me put you off. Its an amazing experience and really life changing but part of the experience is attending the groups. Its really hard to stay on top of the work if you want to get done in 2 years but you can take longer if you wish. The meeting up with the lads is really motivating and you can exchange ideas albeit not collaborate but I think it would be a hard lonely experience doing L6 on line.

 

Plus there is an excellent bacon butty shop opposite the tree life training centre.

I think he was talking about L6 for the 30% pass rate - I don't doubt the L4 is fairly rigorous too - but not consultancy, degree level stuff like L6

 

Yes L6 with the 30%. I did tech cert before the L4 came out which was a lot easier. I think the L4 is probably similar content to the TC but more work due to the format.

How i the Lvl 6? Dong the Lvl 4 at the moment, and it's quite time consuming for a good week or so following each course date. I presume the Lvl 6 is even more extreme?

 

Myerscough says minimum 15 hours a week for 2 years. That's a lot if you are working and have family.

Better get it out the way before I have kids, then! I can spare 15 hours a week, at this point in time.

It'd be a great contraceptive. 1. No social life therefore won't meet any women. 2. Even if you do you'll be a proper tree bore and she won't want to have babies. 3. You'll be too exhausted to do anything else in bed but sleep. 4. Youwon't want kids because they will become less interesting than trees. 5. After paying the course fees a family will become an economic impossibility.

Hahaha, exactly!

I was doing about 20 hours a week on top of full time work. My son was born 3 months into my first year. Its still doable but hard. Just don't watch TV. That will easily make up the 20 hours for most folk.

[Kveldssanger]

I don't watch TV, actually. Nothing of use on there, and not wasting money on a TV license. If it comes to it, I can watch on playback, but even then there's hardly anything good to watch.

Mine was born 3 weeks before I started. My wife literally wants to kill me now. I haven't been able to do any work on a week day evening since he was born as he has been fully awake until half ten/eleven at night. He's now starting to fall asleep earlier in the evening and so I'm hoping I'll be able to beat out some of the backlog fairly soon. At the moment, it's pretty much weekend only which isn't ideal.

You talking about level 4 or 6 Adam??
