hy is now your chosen time to return or thinking of returning?
Different amount of time separates each of the participants in how long each has been away from education. Participant 1 has been out for 5 years and participant 2 has been in and out of education during the last year.
Q3. Have you looked in depth at your chosen area of study and do you feel you are able to manage the workload and time management that is needed?
Knowledge was known to participant 2 who has studied previous in the chosen area of study and is aware of the workload it requires. However unaware of the course details, participant 1 has concerns over the workload. Time management is highly apparent to be a concern as participant 2 has family commitments and participant 1 has an active social life which will create difficulties for studying.
Q4. Are you able to financially support yourself and if so, by what means? Also, did the cost of your chosen course hinder your decision in anyway?
Neither of the participants have concerns when it comes to the cost of their chosen areas of study, as both participants have jobs. Moreover, participant 1 has previous application success from student finance giving positive support.
Q5. Do you adapt well to new environments and to new peers?
Having jobs in the public sector, the participants both have well developed people skills and are ok when in new environments.
