Ah, the fabled 'path of least resistance'...

Would anyone care to share their experiences of the distance learning route? (Having just looked at the website and though it pains me to say it Oxford do look quite good).

Trouble with me is that I won't necessarily be able to take the time off work for anything other than sitting the exams. Presumably classroom instruction is optional? (Without wishing to sound like an arrogant SoB I do have a degree in Aeronautical Engineering and play with jet engines for a living, so I'd like to think I'd be able to get through it on my own - although I'm sure that particluar statement will come back to bite me in the rear at some point!! )

Does it really need a week to sit the exams (according to Cabair) - that's all my holiday used up!!
