Level 5 from UK, what have been your experiences?

[elcastor21]

Hi, for those who have made a Level 5 diploma from the UK and topped it up with a full degree, what have been your experiences, after I was researching for it and decided not personally taking it, a work peer decided that seemed like a good option to get a degree in IT(mostly to check the box as he has over 15 years of experience), I want to ask for some ideas, tips or recommendations.

Very thanks in advance for your response.

Hi, have seen the threads and that was I started that one search, but mostly meant what the experience taking the courses was like, like I see each qualification is 6 courses worth 20 UK credits(10 ECTS/6-7 US Semester hours) and takes a year to complete and is homework based with no exams, but, how are the courses like?

In short, they're self-paced and you can start any month, all assignments/assessments (written work, no proctored exams)
I've had several posts, here's a couple of them: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...-Diploma-s - https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid344780
