Hi everyone. I'm going back to college a week Monday as a part-time student. It's three hours in college one day a week but one day in a voluntary placement plus weekly assignments of 1500 words, case studies of 5000 words every two months plus regular homework and coursework.
DD1 is starting Reception but DD2 is not yet 2 so will be home with me 24/7. I'll have the evenings to do work (I do my placement on a weekday evening) and maybe an hour or so through the day during nap time but I'm worried. The first part of the course was only 6 months with one Saturday a month thrown in, 800 word weekly assignments and some homework and the only reason I passed was because I managed to set aside one entire night to revise and work. This course is close to 18 months long with almost triple the work with an added placement thrown in.
I know I can do it academically as it's not extremely challenging but it just feels like there aren't enough hours in the day now. It's a career I'd love and while I would need to do two more courses afterward to be considered to work with any organisation, this qualification would mean I am qualified to work self employed or wthin a company.
