Chrysalis courses

Not the best start.
Attended three classes so far and don't really enjoy them. You download notes, read them beforehand and bring to class. Now this isn't the problem. The part I don't like and find a waste of my time is in the class the teacher stands at the front and just reads the notes back to you. Basically you do all you learning before attending the class. The second half of the class is "skills practice" with very little direction given. I swapped from CPCAB to chrysalis only cause it suited my job better. The instructions for the monthly assignments are very poor especially if you aren't used to writing assignments (I'm a mature student). Very little support on the format they require. Basically the teacher tells you to look on moddle and read (endless) uploads. The support to enrol also wasn't great. Overall I feel the company is more interested in getting money (& a lot of it!) from you. Definitely a lack of empathy for different learning styles. In hindsight I wish I hadn't swapped and rather changed my job hours. If you are used to actually being taught in class and the structure of CPCAB I would not recommend moving to this course. I hope it improves, otherwise it's going to be a very long two years (3 if you don't do direct entry). If I could get a refund, I would. I would recommend you do a lot of research before putting your money into this.
