Hi,

New to the forum.

I completed my Foundation course in 6 months coming from the back end of three A-levels and I set my self the goal of completing the final stage in a year.

Just wondered if anyone has acheived this as my assessor says it takes two years? :confused1:

Thanks,

BTW: I'm on the hunt for Technician books asap...best price is £42 for unit 8&9, Unit 11 and Unit 19 (2008 exams).

    I started studying Technician in Feb this year and have passed BTC & PTC and just finished my Unit 10 project - I aim to do three exams in December and so long as I pass - Thats it - So it is achievable

    Thanks for that. I'm hoping to pass PTC and PEV in December and finish my project before i start revising for these.

    I wish you good luck with the rest of your course.

    Hi,

    Technician level can be done in one year, I started last September and sat DFS,PEV and PCR in December, Unit 10 project whilst waiting for the results and then PTC and BTC in June. Passed all first time and all done by distance learning

    Good Luck!

    Final year - I presume AAT Technicial Level and you have already acheived the AAT intermediate level.

    Yes, final year can be completed in 9 months.

    sep to dec prepare for Unit 11 DFS and PCR unit 8 (Exams in December)

    Dec 2nd week to Mid March Prepare for Unit 15 Cash management and Unit 17 Auditing ( Both skills test)

    Apr to June Prepare for Unit 9 PEV (June Exams) and project from April to June.

    Can be done and Students at our college acheive this.

    I would have preffered the textbook tbh but nevermind i'll have to be faster next time.

    Thanks for your efforts.
