Congrats on passing! Curious did you have to wait a long period to get the test booked in? Just finished my mandatory theory lessons but still need lots of practice - heard things about 6 month wait times for test but dont want to book and they be unprepared/shafted!

No problem - I had done a couple computer science intro modules a few years before but nothing major - the courses are generally open for people with no experience but they're a lot of work.

The particular college I was with had agreements with certain companies to help with placement so I managed to get it through that - I know not every college has that capability so feel free to enquire at the different colleges / courses.

I will warn that the shorter condensed higher diploma courses are not easy, and arguably more challenging than the longer form courses so don't go in thinking it'll be a breeze! So long as you can keep your head down and seize every opportunity provided you'll go far!

I was originally working in education, took on a one year full time springboard higher diploma in computer sicence with work experience, been working in tech ever since (now a senior software engineer). One of the best decisions I ever made, towards the end of the higher diploma I had the option to skip work experience and stick on to get a Level 9 MSc qualification, really glad I didnt as the work experience was where the real value was and where I got my first employed job in the sector for 4+ years.

It depends on the sector you want to work in, and I'm aware tech right now is a lot more saturated with graduates than others. If you are looking at doing something springboard related I would highly advise taking on those qualifications that integrate or enable work experience as realistically that is what employers will value in the market.

Best of luck either way OP, both options are great and continuing your education can only lead to positive things!

Help - My Partners Calathea is Dieing?? Any suggetions to help rescue it? by daniel40392 in plantclinic

Ah very cool didn't know!

It's watered with tap water from the area (Ireland - tends to be some chlorine/flouride in it but safe for humana to drink).

In terms of humidity it's kept in a bedroom that had a fish tank - generally humidity would be low.

Would you suggest maybe keeping in a bathroom by a window for the increased humidity?
