Semester: Learning & Development

I undertook a Level 3 Certificate in Engineering with an additional unit giving me four units in total to study. This was my first experience at online learning with the course itself being well structured incorporating a good range of resource materials at hand for further study. Tutors were generally very responsive to any messages/queries and assessments were marked with feedback at a very good rate also. Many thanks.

i completed my level 3 in engineering maintenance with semester. the guys there are really helpful. great course, would highly recommend!!

Really enjoyed the course , BTEC Level 3 in advance manufacturing engineering, learnt many new thing whilst doing the course that will help me in my current job and would recommend these courses to people who work full time as you can work through the course at you own pace in your spare time

Just completed my level 3 Engineering qualification with Semester, this was my first time doing any type of distance learning and after a slow start I did start to get the hang of it.

I feel the standard of tutors greatly improved towards the end of my course, with Jess and Paul F helping whenever i had a question, often giving me additional help sheets and practice questions to make sure i had a full understanding before i took the assignment.

I do believe some of the learning material could be improved and tailored more towards the assignments. Some of the best material was in the IT comms unit where Scott would voice over a presentation, compared to some of the videos in other units which i feel didn't cover what the assignments were asking. However, the material has improved over the 2.5 years I spent on the course.

If you are looking to gain a qualification via distance learning i would recommend Semester Learning. Personally for me I discovered I learn better in a classroom type environment rather then on my own, this is only a personal preference and nothing against Semester.

Thank you to Scott, Eleanor, Jess and Paul for all their help over the past 2.5 years.

Recently finished my Level 3 Extended NVQ in Engineering Maintenance - Electrical. The course was well structured and easy to understand. The OneFile system was very easy to use. Anyone working in an engineering environment and wanting a Lvl3 qualification should definitely give Semester Learning a look. The staff were very helpful and quick to reply to all questions. A very very good course and set up.

Started my NVQ With Semester back in June last year. It has been something I've been meaning to do for a long time and Semester was fantastic from start to finish. All of my coursework and modules were online, but my assessor, Paul Fryer was only a phone call away in case I had any questions. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to further their careers and gain a qualification. It's opened so many doors for me now, this has been a great experience.

Completed my BTEC Level 3 in Engineering.
It is really well run and there is a lot of support. If you ever email with any issues they respond really quickly and are so helpful.
The tutors are really supportive.
I would recommend Semester Learning to anyone who has full time commitments but wants to study.

Having previously done my studying in the classroom, I was apprehensive with distance learning but credit to Scott and Paul. F for a very professional and friendly approach. I've now finished my level 3 which will allow me to go for the potential jobs I'm looking at. At times I found some units difficult but Paul was always on the other end of the phone to provide me with the solution. Highly recommend Semester if your thinking about gaining the qualifications you need to progress
