So I'm fed up of having naff all qualifications and being stuck in low responsibility roles that aren't really what I want. So I've decided to have a look at Access to Higher Education courses in the sector I want, apparently the amount of students who go on to degrees is very high which is encouraging. But as the course is part time, I'll be working two days a week as well as all the things that go hand in hand with having three kids and a house to run. DH is fully involved and pulls his weight, so I've got his support, but no other family local to help. I also have the option to pop the youngest into nursery a full day a week extra which I can dedicate to coursework. My job is in a relevant field so I can get experience too.
What I don't have is an idea of the workload. The degree I ideally want is quite competitive and while I've sourced good back ups, I need to get good results. How full on is the workload of these courses? I couldn't get the most sense out of the woman running it as she didn't have much to compare it with. But I don't want to set myself up to fail.
