I've spent a fair bit of my spare time studying psychology but in light of my mother moving away from Cornwall to my area it's become apparent my skillset is severely lacking I'm therefore giving serious consideration to something like a OU course to both formalise the direction I'm already heading and hopefully learn something too
Anyone here gone through a OU course or could suggest a solid alternative?
p.s. I've already done various free online courses.

COVID pretty much made Universities move to online delivery of lectures, etc. The one I send our apprentices to also records lectures so they can be re-watched at any time by the students. Now that COVID is over, they have the choice of attending the actual class or watching it online. The only thing they NEED to go in for is laboratory work and exams.
You might find you will be pleasantly surprised at the flexibility of your local institutions.
What level are you looking to achieve? Remember there is financial assistance for various levels and you might even find a local initiative to you that will get you on a course like an HNC or HND for free:

Probably not worth bothering with Edinburgh though..

I've had a brief look at some of the other distance learning degrees and they don't seem quite as well supported as OU.
I've also mentioned it to my boss: I could do it as a conventional 3 year course partly in work time or I'll do it in my own time over 6 years. Obviously I've sold the psychology skill set as being valuable to the company but that's not even a fib: UI design is all about perceptual manipulation That and my last corporate contract impressed on me how some people have no concept of software being used by actual users
Anyhoo, I'll see if he bites. A 3 or 4 year course schedule might mean I could go to a real bricks & mortar uni although I'm not sure that's worth the money. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |
