I have recently been accepted into my course which is through OTEN. I looked at doing my course with Thompson but the same course was going to cost about $1000 more. I also looked into it a bit and also found that many people were not happy with the support offered offered by other couse providers. I also asked a few employers about what they thought in relation to what course company was best and all recommended OTEN. The other good thing is OTEN is a part of Tafe NSW so you get use of the tafe library. I plan to do around 10 hours of study a week which will set me the goal of completing my course in a year & a half. I also have to do on the job training for 100hours so I will try and do this in school holidays and get my cousin to look after my kids (she is doing the same course at tafe) as she get school holidays.
