Level 3 - online or f2f?

Sarah

Hello everyone,

I'm undecided as to whether to start my Level 3 though fully online or at a local college with face to face teaching.

What are everyone's experiences been like?  I haven't studied in a while so feel that I may need the support.  However, I would like to be at home more and like the idea of studying in my own time.

I have had a bad experience with Learn Direct.  Any recommendations of good online companies?

Many thanks.

  • No problem - I should mention that I did my level 5 via the apprenticeship route. Much more appealing for my employer to pay £200 and give me (in theory anyway...) 20% off the job time, than fund the £4K course.

    I have actually looked in to apprenticeships as I was going to consider this. However, I'm a much more 'mature' student. I've worked in HE as a Manager for 23-years so have dabbled a bit in HR. I'm lucky enough to be taking voluntary redundancy so feel this is my opportunity to re-train in something I enjoy. I did think about an apprenticeship but still on the fence a bit as an older 'learner'.
