The key to studying from home is to keep motivated and the study weekends were key to this. They helped convert the important aspect of academic learning in to learning that is relevant to the workplace. The sessions are well attended and it's really useful to talk to fellow students as well as the tutors.
The course content and the skills I developed while studying improved my effectiveness at work and I won a significant promotion on the back of what I was learning.
I forgot what a sense of achievement comes from study. It really does pay off.
