I know a few people who could benefit from this course but I was unable to see it.
Can you confirm where it is for me please.

Thanks

Hi,

Just to add as well that if you do want to get recognition for the OU courses, but want them for free, the OU funding is very generous, especially for those with children. In most instances you can earn up to £30k and still receive some funding, and depending on how many kids you have, over £20k and still get full funding. I have been studying with the OU now for 4 years and graduate this year and my degree has not cost me a penny. Anyone who is on state benefits such as income support, council tax benefit, housing benefit, etc. automatically qualifies for funding. You also get £250 grant towards study costs and can claim for internet costs, printing & postage costs, childcare costs while studying, travel costs for tutorials, pens, paper etc. On some courses you can also get a £250 grant for the purchase of a PC. These funding arrangements only cover people who don't already have a degree. Disabled students can get even more help and equipment ... for free. It is possible to get a free degree out of the OU whilst working and/or bringing up kids ... a free degree really is good moneysaving!!

Or you could use your tesco vouchers to pay for the OU course - swap vouchers for up to four times their value with the OU!!

It's online worksheets - what I have done is to copy and paste the blurb into a Word document so I can work on the modules which interested me at my leisure.

2good - I do know that some courses can be used in conjunction with Tesco vouchers, but the point is, if the information is free, why use up valuable Tesco vouchers which you could cash in elsewhere The infor in the 2nd link hex2 posted is completely FREEEEEEEEEE :j :j
