hi all,
Looking at retraining in engineering (electrical/electronic) with a HNC/HND, maybe eventually top up to BEng at a later date if time and funds allow at that point.
I am a mature student (40s) but am no stranger to education especially online/distance, and the format works really well for me due to a busy full time job and other life commitments throughout the week.
I am just looking for some ideas/guidance/reviews from anyone who may have studied an engineering course with Unicourse?
I see Tecol pop up regularly on here as a provider whom many have studied with, however my own (brief) experiences with Tecol in making enquiries saw that they are a bit short in their communications and sometimes have to wait a very long time for message replies and information which turns out to be vague and brief. I appreciate they will be incredibly busy however it is a little bit off-putting for a potential new signup paying out a sizable amount. Also, some have mentioned that their resources are mixed in terms of quality, and that assignment briefs and formative activities are a little vague and open to misinterpretation at times.
Unicourse on the other hand, have been incredibly helpful so far - rapid replies to queries, and I like the way they market the course with continued reminders of the best support and options to look at sample module materials, even if they are a little more expensive than Tecol.
I am just looking for any feedback from anyone who has studied with Unicourse as I am struggling to find recent reviews - just to check that they do indeed live up to their word?
I really want to give the HNC absolutely my best shot and don't want to feel disappointed with the quality of resources, tutor support etc, of the provider that I eventually sign up with... the programme could eventually open up some new options for me and so I want to make sure it's as 'right' as it can be.
Any thoughts and words of wisdom are much appreciated. Have a good day folks!
