Stapleford and CATS £290 for an assessment? For what exactly?
Didn't even cop that stapleford and cats were charging for assessments now,

All aboard the gravy train!

I concur regarding the above points about distance learning. If you're going modular then I see little point in full time classroom based learning.

I am doing it full time classroom based (integrated), and a good 80% what i hear in the classroom goes in one ear and out the other. The vast majority of my learning is at home in the evenings and on the weekends. Instructors are not miracle workers, they will just stand there and talk through the material and if you're like me and learn far better by reading and understanding things on your own ... there is no extra benefit in classroom based. I'm only here cos it's for an airline scheme, otherwise I'm not sure it's worth it.
