I would defiantly not recommend open colleges!
I would defiantly not recommend open colleges to anyone. My course went through a change to keep up with government standards. Pretty much you had only 6 months to finish the course if you were already enrolled (not the full 3 years) or you would have to start again with the new material. I chose to start again as I had only completed 5 modules out of 15, and with working a full time job I would not get it complete in 6 months. I spoke to student support to see if I would have another 3 years to complete after the change over, and they said that they would extend the time for completion. However, little did they tell me that I would have to PAY MORE. No help what so ever. Not with the course work, placement or extensions. If you are thinking of studying, please, please do not go through open colleges!!
