[danbills]

When I was at school they brought in this new subject for GCSE which I did it's called Digital Application which consists of 4 GCSE's and if you pass all 4 you get a diploma...it's basically web design, multimedia and general IT. It's a good laugh but I don't know whether you'd be able to do it at work.

Here's a link to the website: dida.edexcel.org.uk (http://dida.edexcel.org.uk/home/)

[Danr]

Oh shit, sorry Matt.

Tbh man the best thing i did was Geography. Was pretty interesting. I.T is wank, you can learn more actually doing it imo.

Business is interesting.

Personally i would do law. Sister has done it and gives you a really well recognised qualification.

[Yates]

The Navy pay for you to do this?

yar, well pay for 80% of it, dont need to do it, but i want to add to my collection of certificates that i have at the moment... always looks good

going to do science thats for sure, D at school

[Mrk1]

[Yates]

Oh shit, sorry Matt.

its alright every other man and his dog have done the same

i dont want to know about english and maths n all that, or what grades you got, just want to know if anyone done anything different and what it was they did!!!

[Mrk1]

going to do science thats for sure, D at school

Snap i got DD in science. i lol'd

[Funsize]

Personally i would do law.

I've just finished law, but I'm not sure if you can do it at GCSE? I never had the option. It's a good qualification to have, but it's hard work.

[Danr]

http://www3.open.ac.uk/study/

[Mrk1]

Photography is a really intricate course at A Level, better as a hobby than a subject though.

Didn't do a-levels.

If you've finished school, why do you still hang around outside the school gates?

[Amiee]

Law At Alevel is quite interesting Matt.. Hell of a lot to learn and remember though!

[sbatstone]

A levels
Music Tenchnology
Information Communication Technology
Theatre Studies


:afro:

[Danr]

If you've finished school, why do you still hang around outside the school gates?

pardon?

[Funsize]

Psycology and socioloy sound interesting, never had the option to do it though because those two, and law, were distance learning courses in my school, and as the teachers believe im stupid they wouldnt let me do all three.

[Yates]

Photography is a really intricate course at A Level, better as a hobby than a subject though.

They offer other courses as well, not just gcse and a level, the fact i spent x amount on a camera and not really sure what all the buttons tells me i dont get my moneys worth!

[Robin91]

pardon?

Waiting for the missus..? Or..?

[Funsize]

Law At Alevel is quite interesting Matt.. Hell of a lot to learn and remember though!

Agreed!

Think I needed to know something like 350 cases for my A level exams. Including names, dates and point of law and case facts.

Glad its over!

[Yates]

Law At Alevel is quite interesting Matt.. Hell of a lot to learn and remember though!

im pretty good at learning new things and remembering, shit loads i have to learn, know and remember for my job at moment

want things that will look good on my record and show i can work hard, set my mind to things and do them n all that bollox

[Robb]

Photography was a wicked a-level. And proper easy if you put the tiniest bit of effort into it.

You can take pictures of jack shit but aslong as you explain what it is and why you get mega marks.....

[Danr]

Waiting for the missus..? Or..?

was that an attempt at a joke?

[Funsize]

want things that will look good on my record and show i can work hard, set my mind to things and do them n all that bollox

Law is a well recognised qualification by most employees.

[Funsize]

Same as Art then.

[Danr]

Law would definately be my choice. Looks great on the sister's C.V. Sure you could incorporate a business qualification as well.

[Robin91]

was that an attempt at a joke?

No joke here.

Other than you.

[Danr]

Then you make no sense.

[Funsize]

There's a lot of call for employee's to have language qualifications too, so maybe Law with a language?

[Mrk1]

They offer other courses as well, not just gcse and a level, the fact i spent x amount on a camera and not really sure what all the buttons tells me i dont get my moneys worth!

Well it will definately be worth looking into then, at A Level they go through everything from processing, traditional & digital photography and teach you how to get the best out of your camera. So the other courses on offer are likely to be similar. Plus if you're using a camera regularly then you may aswell it's great practice for shows & motorsport events!

[Yates]

Law is a well recognised qualification by most employees.

yes i know it is! i dont have a cv, dont need one, plan on staying in this job for at least 12 years, long term aim, half pension then, few lump sum bonus', just for things like promotion want something to do that they know i will have to work hard at n that

[Robin91]

There's a lot of call for employee's to have language qualifications too, so maybe Law with a language?

Ahh I didn't do a language, almost everyone in my year did but I decided not to because I found them so confusing and just cbf - sorta regret it now..

Wonder if it's possible to learn a second language at home like?

[Funsize]

Wonder if it's possible to learn a second language at home like?

Possibly, but i know someone who did one of those "teach yourself" courses, and it got him nowhere because employer's didnt recognise it. I think that was with ICS?

[Yates]

can learn a 2nd language at home

i can get a few cds to install on laptop and learn aswell

[Amiee]

Agreed!

Think I needed to know something like 350 cases for my A level exams. Including names, dates and point of law and case facts.

Glad its over!
Yep was like 2 cases for each point of law we covered.. and the points we covered was a lot. I failed one exam on Justice.. twice haha 3rd time lucky.

im pretty good at learning new things and remembering, shit loads i have to learn, know and remember for my job at moment

Deffo something which looks good...

Like people ask me how I got my job being so dizzy... ect then I tell them my alevels and they shut up!

Its funny how certain qualifications stand out more than others and determinds peoples opinions on you.

[Funsize]

I got a B in French at GCSE, but because I never spoke French regularly, I've forgotten practically all of it.

[Funsize]

Its funny how certain qualifications stand out more than others and determinds peoples opinions on you.

Yes, it makes a big difference. If someone told me they had a degree in "Child Studies", I wouldnt think much of it tbh. Ive always seen that subject as one to make up the numbers.

[Yates]

As i'm interested in business and would like to run/work in business later on in life, does anyone think maybe i'd be more benefited by not doing biology and doing something like Law or Economics instead?

[demon_dan]

Did the usual GCSE's ...maths, english, english lit, double science, RE, PE, history, ICT, business studies, CDT ...then got an Engineering apprenticeship for 4 years (mechanical). Done an NVQ2 PEO course for 18 weeks at college and now doing day release ...and I love it. I'm doing a BTEC (mechanical) then NVQ3 mechanical manufacturing engineering and specialising in CNC milling ...so I get to do all the hands-on stuff and program the computers. Some of the college course is really uninteresting and I doubt it will even be useful in my job but it's standard and has to be done. I like doing CAD and the business side of things. I always thought I'd do something office-based and it wasn't until my last year at school that I changed my mind.

[grantlowery]

Got A's and B's in my 11 gcse's.

Went on to sixth form, took Business, History and Media. Got a B history, media and business at AS level.
