[QUOTE="LlamaLaw, post: 142480, member: 16031"] No problem! The sessions were live. It was possible to request a switch but I don't know whether or not they let people do that every week. For part-time, at least, we got to set a preference of when those sessions were. I think the choices were roughly: every weekday evening, one or two weekdays, weekends. For the weekends, we could state a preference for earlier or later in the day. The earlier sessions tended to have students from overseas participating as it was slightly better timezone wise. You'd probably have to check with BPP directly what their policy on switching sessions ad-hoc or what times are available in advance. I don't know on the training contract side - I didn't have one when I was going through most of the PGDL and I do have one at ULaw for the LPC. I'm not sure what they could differently though. On the assessments, I don't know whether that extends to PGDL/MA or it's institution by institution. At BPP there was no restriction during the assessment. I did the assessment in my normal browser and could access the internet at the same time. All of my notes were online and that was fine. What you've described is basically what I have to do for the LPC at ULaw, but I don't know if that's because the LPC needs that level of proctoring or whether it's just ULaw policy. I did the PGDL part-time and worked full-time along. I don't think it was a hinderance for TC applications. In fact, several interviewers seemed positive about managing work and part-time study at the same time. [/QUOTE]
