Hi,
I am studying the 3 year course @ city of bristol, just going into the final year now, the college also do operate short courses, these courses are for individuals who have experience and basically want there modules. each module comes with 1 - 3 weeks tuition (depending on the module) and course notes with the exam at the end of the tuition period. im not 100 % sure of the cost but each module is individually priced and is a fast track way of getting them. i dont think it is posted on there web site but they do offer these courses from jan - aug each year.
the 3 year course is for peoplelike myself trying to get into the industry.
give a guy called Ian Kingsbury a call (the college administrator) and he will help you out. The number is 0117 312 5000 ask for aero engineering
hope this helps
cheers
G
