Hi everyone,

When I was reading some of the topics here, I got confused which centre I should chose which is better. I initially wanted to enrolled in home study learning at BPP but some students here said it's not really worth it to be at BPP,please tell me about your experience with home study in your chosen centre,Thank you

    Hi

    I have done home study with Premier and FTC and both are much of a muchness. Premier was extremely slow with skills test and a project and FTC was really slow with the management project and answering queries - so just go with a recommendation.

    Best of luck with the course
    Eva :D

    I used Premier for my Intermediate and they were great. But my tutor has left and to be honest, things have slowed down in general.

    Doesn't mean I wouldn't recommend them - but a lot depends on the actual tutor you are allocated.

    I'm on Technician now, but haven't needed to talk to anyone yet.

    Distance learning is great if you can't get to a college or make the commitment to study at the same time each week.

    However, if you're in control of your timetable, it is very easy to let it slip. I should be taking two exams in June - but I'm already behind.

    Skills Tests are like anything else - if you've studied the topics they're fine. Students have ones they like and some they hate - it just depends on our own preferences.

    My background is in producing financial statements, so I hated everything and anything connected to everything else - which was quite a lot!

    Which topics are you studying?

    I like the discipline of going to college once a week and I guess I dolearn a few things while I'm there but it's the motivation from the tutor and fellow students that's the main plus point. Having said that, at Tech level (and to a lesser extent at Intermediate) you still need to put the time in at home to pass.

    Skills tests are pretty much like exams. On the upside, they're not say under exam conditions, unless you really mess up you get a chance to ammend errors or show you know stuff through suplementary questioning by your tutor (oral or written) and if you should fail you can resit at any time. So, all-in-all there's not the pressure that you get with the central exams. Downside is that they tend to be harder than the exams and you need to get pretty much everything right in the end.

    I quite like the 'everything else', it's the finacial stuff I hate :)
