The work load is high but easily do-able with lectures uploaded each week online, the main thing is to not fall behind on the lecture notes. I work 40hrs a week and do on call, I&#39;m also a clinical coach and have an active social life outside of work and don&#39;t find I struggle :) &nbsp;I just make sure I catch up at weekends if I haven&#39;t had much time during the week.&nbsp;<br /><br />The support is great, the study weekends are very valuable and the tutors are very good at emailing back quickly as possible to help you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would recommend the course to anyone. Harper Adams do a very similar course I believe but I preferred the way it was structured at Myerscough so chose to go there.&nbsp;<br /><br />Hope that all makes sense and helps :)&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
