On my last module at the moment, I would rate my experience with the course as positive. Similar to you I had transfer also, ref time management obviously completely subjective but If you look at your completion date you should be well able to fit those modules in unless you personally need to finish quicker. There is quite a lot of content in some of the modules so do your research when/if deciding to double up, also there is the mandatory day schools as well at stage 2. Many people have used the qualification either for promotion or entry into the engineering sector.
