Oxford college - diploma in equine science

[Vikki89]

Has anyone or do you you know of anyone who has done a course through the oxford distance learning college?
I've been thinking about enroling on the diploma in equine science course and trying to decide if it would be a good idea.

am doing that ATM! v straightforward so far. i don't think i'm prob learning as much as if i was full time at college, but for a distance course it's pretty good i think. you do an assignment on every module, and get your marks back wihtin a few days - at the end you have to a dissertation of aorund 5000 words. the course content is detailed enough that there's plenty for anyone to learn but laid out in a straightforward style so it's not difficult either. would recommend (thgouh haven;t yet completed it!).

good luck!

I'm really fascinated to read what Zorrosmum and morgan 123 say here, when you compare it to some of the replies posted to this question when it was asked in the Careers forum...

no qualifications needed to enrol just basic english reading and writing skills.
I'm still undecided whether to enrol or not as there are good responses on here but quite bad in careers and education

Do you think it would be a recognised qualification to then progress onto further courses?
