    Hi<BR><BR>I did home study for Intermediate and Technician. Although it worked out ok for me, you need to be quite organised. Looking back I sort of wished i'd gone to college to do it but didnt really want 2 nights a week at college. It could have been 1 night a week but didnt want to take 2 years to do it.<BR><BR>Neil

    I'm doing Technician Level with Premier Training. I find it works fine for me cos I can choose when and what I want to study and can do as much or as little as I choose. I work full time so if I've had a busy day at work I can do less that night and do more, say, at the weekend.<BR><BR>You have to be disciplined but I find it works very well for me. If you're used to figuring things out for yourself then its a better option.<BR><BR>Having said that, I went straight to Technician Level through virtue of having a degree so have never studied AAT at college......<BR><BR>Premier Training use Osbourne Books which are superbly laid out and are very easy to follow.............

    Hi <BR>I am taking my PCR and PEV technician level exams in June. So far I have managed to pass all my Intermediate units through distance learning. I used the BPP texts and tried to study at least 10-15 hours in every week.<BR>I hope the Technician level can be completed by home study.<BR>Thanks<BR><BR>

    Im at inter level with Premier trainging, which are really great home study providers.<BR><BR>I think with home study - you get what you put in!! If you dont put in the work you are not going to pass.<BR>The difference is with a taught class you still may go home none the wiser and have to re-read everything again and then if you still havent sussed it by the next lesson you start to feel really lost. With home study - you dont move on to you have sussed it! If you dont understand you keep going to you do - there is no class to catch up with and no feeling everyone else knows more than you!<BR>You must read the books and do the assignments otherwise you are wasting your time!<BR><BR>I have passed foundation through home study and doing FRA in June! <BR><BR>Amanda

    Hi<BR><BR>I did my intermediate with distance learning and managed quite well. I started the technician in September 2004 and with working and 3 children it will take me 2 years to complete. It is hard and I think you need far more support and be more disciplined on Technician than intermediate. <BR><BR>You have to want to do it.<BR><BR>Good luck
