Q. Question? When I took my A levels eight years ago, I didn't intend to go to university. My GCSEs were quite decent, but I lost heart in sixth form. Now I'd like to take a degree in English Language for my own interests, and have got it into my head that I'd like to apply for Cambridge. According to the UCAS tariff I have 380 points at A level, but since I went for quantity not quality, I don't have any grade higher than a C, and I didn't take English as a subject. I've been advised to take one-year A level courses, but I'm having trouble finding any (direct.gov.uk only give me regular sixth form courses). I live on the Essex/Herts border, and would prefer going to classes to distance learning. Does anyone know how and where I could take a course?

A. Best Answer: Why don't you take an Access to Higher Education course? That is what I did as I didn't have any A-levels to enter uni. The course takes one year to complete if you do it full time. A friend of mine from that course went on to pursue an English language degree at university.

Q. Question?

A. Best Answer: As I understand it you are looking for an online Master's degree...If that is your question, then...
Western Governor's University in Utah is a great option.
They are accredited and one of only two online teacher's programs to be recommended by the US Dept of ED. Now they are not just teaching but it speaks highly of their program to be recognized in such a way.
They are a competency based program which really benefits the person with experience. For a flat $2890, beginning in Sept., you can work through as much or as little as you choose in your six month term. They don't hold you back. So where most universities charge you by the hour for a three hour class, you get as may classes for the same price with WGU. I am just completing a term where I have finished 11 classes, 35 hours. It truly is work at your own pace, the best deal for the money out there. If you are interested, please email me and I will refer you. With a referral you will get your $65 application fee waived.

Thanks and have a great day!

Q. Question? can study in terms of distance learning and over a very short period ?

I am trying to keep a promise to my late wife who completed her BA at an advanced age. I am getting on myself.

A. Best Answer: I love this site:

http://www.free-ed.net

Also, many textbook publishers have free companion courses to math their texts. You can get texts for free in many places. My favorite is:

http://www.paperbackswap.com

The last one I received from PBS was a brand new, one-year old, $125 text that included a free CD with additional info. There is a companion free course on the publisher's site that is duplicated on Free-Ed.net.

Best to you and kudos for doing this!
