Oscail

KoopaTroopa · 2006-08-31 19:01:31

I'm thinking of doing Oscail's Arts course. Any opinions on the matter? One thing that bothers me a little is the cost, but I suppose I'll save money on transort and drink..

6 modules at 700 each which qualifies for tax relief isnt the worst pricing i've seen for a course

Hey koopa, has the dollars to be paid upfront or what way. What modules have you opted for first. Have you spoken to anyone who has done it, there was some bad reports about oscailt.

The money is paid upfront all right. You get 25% with the tax back so it's not as bad as I thought.
I spoke to two people who did the arts course and liked it. Any negative comments seem to be directed at the I.T. type courses.
