I did this years ago and found it very rewarding. The tutors at that were excellent.

The tutors here provide a great service and the technical documents provided are some of the best in the market place – if you’re not chartered yet, this is one of the many ways forward.


Good Luck – I hope I get to interview you at your PRI in the near future!

I did it there as well via distance learning a few years ago. Good tutoring as said, but administratively it was a nightmare as they hadn't really got to grips with the electronic collaboration tools you need to do distance learning effectively. In the end a lot of project and essay work got submitted manually to meet deadlines. I have no doubt that they will have gotten a grip on this by now, as there are better tools available. I would happily return to study there again.

Think I was in the first group to do the PgC via distance learning via Portsmouth. Sounds as if things have moved on as all my course notes were sent to me hard copy and assignments had to be hard copy to them.

I was very impressed with the tutors. I did one assignment which clearly one of my tutors hated and he marked me way down on it. However he submitted it to the external moderator who understood my thinking. To his credit he sent me the external examiners report along with a note saying because he had not expected me to answer the question in the way I did he marked me down but that he must have been wrong and congratulated me on my final answer - not many collages/ examiners would do that!

I was self funding the course so stopped at the PgC level wish I could have afforded to continue to the MsC.
