How I fit the
course work into my life
Firstly I negotiated with the people around me; my wife and children; my colleague and employees; my clients.
I informed them I was embarking on a 'full-time' three year course and we discussed the implications. This enabled me to create an atmosphere of acceptance and sometimes resignation. In practice I was quite free to arrange my timetable around the programme.
My most cherished
interaction on the programme:
There are two:
1. The collaborative exercises we had in H802 and 2. the 'flesh' meetings with Patricia, Helen, Simon, the H804 staff and Derek eating his mashed banana in his room.
Which of the
different course models suited me best?
H801: I personally
needed the discipline it imparted. H802 gave me new and practical online
skills. H804 combined H801 and H802 in a way that made it feasible to
run online courses in my establishment. Each course was relevant but
all three made the meal.
