Ok for those who know whats been happening I'm going to back uni this year.
So after several dramas with the enrolment forms going missing and my student card still hasn't turned up I get my first two units.
One of them is social science and the other is a natural resource management one, sweet I say something gentle to start me off.
Then I start reading the unit assignments and outlines. This then leads me to email the lecturer of the nat res unit while I'm at work asking is it ok if I submit some of the things I've had to do for work in lieu of the assignments.
His reply basically consisted of him asking me why given my job title am I doing his unit in the first place.
End result turns out I can apply for a thing called proficincy credit which means that if I prove I have the qualifications and experience and paperwork to prove it I can recieve credit in up to 16 units.
Or to put in plain english it means I can cut about 6 -12 months off my degree/masters
Life with the exception of my personal life is very very sweet right now :)
