Hi lads.

Any of you guys doing/done this course? I'm doing a BTEC in system support next year and I need to take this course along side it. What are your opinions on it? Is it difficult? What does the main work load consist of?

Thanks for any decent replies

Yep, finished it now, but havent got my A2 grade yet (grade B at AS, hoping to get that at A2 too). Yeah, I thought it was a great course myself, right until the end, machine code bores and confuses me but lots of people were fine with that. We had a very good teacher which helps, porobably worthy of legendary status

The AS is potential dividers, logic systems, op-amps mainly. A2 is transistors, television/communications and microcontrollers. These seemed to be the main areas.

easy course, not that much work (esp if u did gsce electronics) many of my mates did it outside of school and got high A's
