Like every course it is about what you put in that matters.
Like every course it is about what you put in will help you with the rewards. The course is well structured though you have to complete each module task before the next section is available to you. The Prince's Trust Awarding body uses a simple Pass/Fail scoring system which I find limiting, having been used to a Pass/Merit/Distinction system which provides a better type of assessment criteria. The course material may seem limited but it should be seen as a launch pad into your own self-directed learning to discover a vast range of material that is available elsewhere. This helps you progress in you own areas of interest within a pluralistic discipline. The third year builds well on what is learnt in the previous two years as you are then equipped with skills to undertake the practical workplace dealing with real clients. The course is very much about self-development and self-awareness which is often missed in an academic focused approach which is driven by research techniques as opposed to hands-on approach Chrysalis provides. The course encourages peer-to-peer learning through WhatsApp to help build upon what is learnt during the class session. You have to be self motivated to do this course which is not about spoon feeding you. You are in charge of what you learn and need to be responsible for what you don't. It really is up to you but if you use all the resources and participate in the online groups you will be richly rewarded educationally.
