Hi all
Recently just taken the June exam for the Diploma route certificate level. I did it through FTC and it was a distance learning course.
My problem is for the next level I am thinking of going to college. But all the colleges near to me only do the NVQ pathway. Can you mix and match NVQ with the diploma?
Also I am only 50/50 about going to college. With distance learning I found it hard to motivate myself/be disciplined but I love the flexibilty that it has to offer. Also if I stick with the diploma for the next level I don't have to build up a portfollio (which to me sounds like a lot of hard work!)
Its annoying that we don't get our exam results till August...because if I pass I would be more inclined to progress the distance learning way but I have to apply for colleges now...otherwise there might not be a place for me come Sept.
Any advice?

Hiya
Mine is the other way around. I am studying at college and have completed foundation as NVQ. The next 2 years, the college has decided to opt for the diploma route - so yes its fine to do this. The diploma was designed for people that are not working in the finance environment, which is why NVQ levels need to complete a portfolio. Yes the portfolio is a bit of a pain but if you keep on top of it, it does not become a problem.
As with deciding to go to college - I think only you can decide on that - I know that if I did distant learning, I wouldn't do anything. With college, you have the tutors and other fellow collegues to ask help from.
Good Luck with whatever you decide
