[QUOTE="Nicktim, post: 74044, member: 6132"] I'm on the PGDL at BPP at the moment and have been since Sept 2020. I personally wouldn't recommend working alongside the full time PGDL, unless you are just doing a weekend or flexible job for a few hours a week. The course is quite intense and the volume of work is pretty heavy and if you start falling behind it can be quite hard to catch up. The content itself isn't overly difficult for the most part, it is just the volume of reading and preparation work that is intense. I started a part time job in my first month of the PGDL and resigned a week into starting the job because I wasn't able to keep up with the reading for the course and as I am sponsored by my firm I didn't think it would be a good start to my career having to resit modules on the PGDL because I was busy working! I'd also add that unless you are self-employed or have a very flexible and understanding employer it might be quite difficult to plan ahead if you're studying at BPP. We were given our timetables for the first term just 24 hours before the term starting and if you complain to BPP about needing to know in advance what hours your classes will be, their response is usually that you should just plan for the course to occupy your whole working week because you're on the full time course. I know many employers wouldn't appreciate being asked to change your schedule or give you time off at short notice! [/QUOTE]
