Cengage Courses- what do you think about it?

[Turkish Delight]

I want to do study at home at my own pace and one of the courses which appeals to me is a cengage course.

Do you know anyone who has done one of their courses?

Is it dodgy? Is there courses worthwhile? Is it recognised?

Thanks

Just subscribing.. i've been thinking/looking at this for a while now too. Interested to see what people think .

I'm pretty sure they are legit (pretty sure meaning I don't know from experience but have never heard anything negative about that side of it). They are expensive though. It's be easier and cheaper to look into an external/flexible delivery TAFE course.

Thanks Leash.

There is no other courses (TAFE or other) which offer the course i want to do in the depth in which i want to learn about it whilst being at home study.

On-site courses are like $7000 whilst this one at cengage is about $1400. Im sure the onsite courses covers a lot more and has the prac side of it too hence being sooo exxy.

I guess the main thing is to make sure that it is recognised in the field. Would suck to pay that much and study a course that isn't recognised KWIM. Sometimes thats why it is cheaper? If it's legit then go for it.

A bit late sorry.

I'm doing a Cengage course. You can pay them monthly which is great and they are all nationally recognised courses!

I'm almost finished mine - started it in October and have enjoyed it!

TD - I am also a little late.
Depends on what the field is you choose to study. Something like Counscelling or Psychology I would not think it would be *up to par*, but other self interest ones I would think would be ok. I did a Teachers Assistant one back in 2006, and much to my disgust ($1500 later) it is not accepted by Education Department. So do your research.

Good luck xoox
