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. read less

Submitted assignments were promptly checked and have received constructive feedback for these. The tutors were helpful and when I needed to, I could easily arrange for an extension of the allocated time. Would recommend Semester Learning short courses as a great introduction into the world of engineering. read less

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. read less

Most of the tutors were incredibly good with their feedback and support. (The only reason I say most not all is because a couple of questions asked were not replied to. However this could have been the nature of the question I am not sure)The only criticism I may have is I found the wording of some of the questions can be interpreted in different ways resulting in different answers but as I said the feedback and response from the tutors is great. My advice would be if you are unsure ask.I would highly recommend this course for anyone looking for a starting block to get into engineering. It has also helped me greatly in my work as a Quality technician which I started the same time I started the course after being a spray painter for 10 years. My ability with software like excel have increased greatly thanks to this course.If you are unsure whether you should spend the money and take this course I say do it. Whether you are looking to get into a specific engineering field or not I have found you can apply this knowledge to most jobs. read less

The initial module selection proved challenging, given that there are many modules to choose from and due to the way Pearson have prepared the units you cannot have them all at once!Semester offer their online study materials through Moodle, as well as the course reading list offered by the syllabus. The course content is based on online video with the occasional web article. There are also quizzes in some sections that you need to complete before you can move to the next section/request an assignment.Assignments are allocated per section and have a 2-week deadline; only the study materials are self-paced. This is managed through OneFile, an online portfolio and evidence system where you can track all your progress. For the assignments you have to prepare a mixture of leaflets, booklets, handouts, reports and videos. Marking time is usually around 5 working days.All in all, I learned many new things on this course as well as refreshing knowledge from past courses with local colleges - it's important to be up to date with new developments in a field such as computing. Not only that but I have upgraded my dad’s 10-year-old PC with new components, giving it a new lease of life with the new knowledge I have gained!Semester also have a number of engineering courses on their portfolio too, so there is something for everyone.I certainly look forward to putting my knowledge to good use in the future and will certainly look to consider other courses in due course.Many thanks to all at Semester! read less
