BSY Courses

Advantages: So many courses!
Disadvantages: You've got to motivate yourself!

...BSY offers over 250 courses for anyone to undertake at home (though some do require a final examination in a particular place). When I decided to get my life in order I looked for the cheapest and best place to do Pet Psychology and BSY won, so I rang them up and the really nice lady offered me a 2 for 1 deal and I'm now doing Holistic Animal Healing also. Now, I'm not the most motivated person in the world - bear in mind I started this in Jan 2006! Anyway, I've finally sent off my final examinations and hopefully I'll receive qualifications soon. Everything I received and needed for the course was sent through the post with envelopes to send it back once completed. I get to keep all the course materials too. I know that different courses require you to purchase your own equipment and take exams so I can only comment on the 2 above...

Alpha course

Advantages: The people will be friendly and there will be a good atmosphere
Disadvantages: The program is structured so that awkward questions are not asked

...You should be aware that the Alpha Course is one mans version of what Christianity is all about, a man called Nicky Gumbell. I am a Christian myself, but would disagree with a lot of what he writes. He sees everything from a Charismatic perspective and the whole aim of the course is climaxed by a day or weekend away where perhaps some people will lay hands on you to receive what he calls the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Its important for you to know that its mainly Christians from a Charismatic church or pentecostal belief who would believe in such a thing. Most christians would say you have the holy Spirit the moment you become a Christian, and is not a "second stage" Most people who attend Alpha courses are already Christians, and a lot of very important questions just aren't covered, and its less than honest in its opinions...

Number one accountancy course

Advantages: Exam focused, gets results
Disadvantages: Expensive

...BPP offer a range of courses to help students pass various accountancy qualifications(these are CIMA, ACCA, ICAEW, AAT and various insolvency qualifications). They also offer law, marketing and Human Resources help. There are 23 centres across the UK where you can study. BPP offers a variety of different courses - subject courses and revision courses. The subject courses are around 400 pounds each and last three days. Revision course are closer to the exam date and cost around 300 pounds and also last two days. The quality of the course obviously depends to an extent on the quality of the lecturer. Although I have found (and heard) that they are very good and really know who to teach. The emphasis is very much on passing the exams, so questions and revision are on what you will be examined on. There is no reading "around...

Basic Cisco Course

Advantages: More money @ work, More Knowledge
Disadvantages: !!!!!!

...I work in the Network Security Industry & work for a company called Equant (Who provide Global Network solutions & own the largest privately owned Network in the World), & was looking for a basic level Cisco course to achieve an acreditation. The ICND course (Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices) is an ideal course to start. Although very Cisco orientated (as you could imagine), it doe sgive you a valuable basic knowledge of how the Cisco products interact with each other & other devices & networks (ie: Novell, which has recently dumped it's own IPX protocol, in favour of IP, this makes things easier as you can now deal with IP addressing & not just MAC addresses). I went on an ICND course provided by a company called Getronics, based in Milton Keynes, I am now planning to take the Cisco CCNA exam, which is the first Certification...

...I have surrently undetaken the Cisco Certified netowking course and I would like to recomment it to any one else who may find it to be beneficail t there career.

You wil learn all the basics in networking such as topologies and ethernet, tcp/ip etc that is very interesting. The course cost £1500 but the offer has been given to me at my college at no extra cost. At the end of the course you are given a certified netwoking qualification that may be useful in the future. The course is very intersting and I recomment it to others....

Review of Cisco Certified Networking Course

Elmwood Golf Course, near Cupar

Advantages: Easy walking, not arduous, superb catering
Disadvantages: The course has some settling to do

...This course was constructed by Elmwood College, which is the top European College for Golf Management Studies, and opened in 1997. Regrettably, I think they have to study a bit harder. To give it the benefit of the doubt, the course was originally agricultural land and still has a lot of settling in to do. You still get the feeling of walking from field to field as a lot of the original walls are still there. The surrounding countryside is open farmland with Tarvit Hill to the south and Lomond Hills to the west. It’s a lovely setting and the welcome cannot be faulted. THE COURSE It’s a par 70 (sss 68) for men and par 73 (sss72) for ladies. The course is pretty straightforward with only a few greenside bunkers (no fairway bunkers). The only real problem is the knee high rough if you are really wayward. 1...

Starter over, time for a Main Course

Advantages: Classic Bee Gees songs.
Disadvantages: Won't win any new fans

...Well, OK, I know some people out there will call me sad for admitting to liking the Bee Gees, as they are not fashionable for a 21 year old to like, however one thing is for sure, they cannot be overlooked, and must be respected for being some of the finest songwriters in music history. I'm sure everyone out there knows the history of the Bee Gees achieving phenomenal success for the past 35 years with their most famous work being that of the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever, and the disco classics such as Stayin' Alive. However, they have released many albums throughout the years, and after the tragic death of Maurice Gibb, (RIP Maurice, you will be missed.) I have started to listen again to some of their older material, and some of the lesser known albums. One of these is the 1975 album called Main Course. With every track...

HORSES FOR COURSES or just ARTS DISCRIMINATION

Advantages: Consider your future career path
Disadvantages: There can be discrimination

...Big step - further education and the important qualificiation at the end but is a BA now equally as valuable as a BSc? The question of what constitutes, and how to do 'science' has been subject to lengthy argument and debate ~ such is the reverence that is afforded to all science disciplines. It seems today that it is science not the arts that holds the prestigeous centre stage position in today's academic and professional circles, but should that be the decisive actor on which course you should opt for? Science is built on general laws and explanation it is concerned with cause and effect by the adoption of an objective approach which is clear and operationalized -the research undertaken needs to be replicable and is usually empirical with no input or value judgements from the researcher or any other influencial factors which...
