Hi!
Where to start... I'm 22 and want to get back into education soon. I won't bore you with the details but after leaving school with 5 A-C's, I went to college where I studied a BTEC course and then dropped out without a qualification, and I've been out of education and work for over three years since.
A week ago I discovered Open University and it looks absolutely perfect for me. I phoned up yesterday about the possibility of starting an October Module at such late notice, and the lady said no it wouldn't be possible this late on. Today I log on and see they've extended their registration date. I imagine it's still likely too late but I'd be fine with the February option.
Now, I'm looking at two options, either starting with a single Module to get me back into the swing of things as is suggested on their site, or perhaps applying for a Certificate of Higher Education course (arts and humanities if you need to know). This is all assuming I even qualify even qualify.
That brings me to this... on their site they say you require no formal qualifications, but this can't be true surely? Is there a chance I could get accepted into the course with just my GCSE's?
I'm sorry for the ramble, I'll stop it there.
