    All the reports on the website are complimentary. Some go as far as saying that it's the most enjoyable OU course they've done.

    Did you find it particularly taxing on the old grey matter?

    I'm just writing my final assignment for the course, most of it is common sense, not particularly taxing on the old grey matter. It is really good though and makes you think about finances in general and how things are and have changed. I'd thoroughly recommend it to anyone.

    I didn't think that it looked too taxing to the more 'financially savvie'! Good to have my suspicions confirmed though!

  • I thoroughly enjoyed the course, it's one of the better courses I've done with the OU and I found I didn't need to use too much of my spare time to complete it cos I'm pretty much money savvy anyway!

    I'm hoping that's the same with me tbh.

    I guess I'll find out in due course!!!
