Bvbfan,

What are the Securities Institute's courses like. Is the quality what you expected and value for money? DO you do face to face, distance or online?

I have thought about doing one of their courses.

Thanks

Re: what do you do? (9 to 5)

I'd highly recommend it

I'm doing it via correspondence and have found it easier than going into classes for uni.

I can only comment on the Diploma level, as I don't start the Graduate Diploma for a few weeks

Value for money I think so, but it's also tax deductible for me.
Diploma subjects are about $550, grad diploma $800, masters $1300 with 8 units for each course.

The planning units are the hardest I found, writing the reports for full financial plans and the advice project.

I used to live next door to jupiters cafe in lygon st about ten years ago!
At the time was studying accountancy at the rmit. That was way to exciting, so i travelled around a bit, worked in kalgoorlie for 2 years came back started scaffolding and then started own scaffold company which we run from home.
Spend most of the day on market if westpac allows.

Re: what do you do? (9 to 5)

Found this in a newspaper about the new 380:

"The first flight took off with a weight of 421 tonnes but Airbus is expected to move within weeks to test the plane at its maximum take-off weight of more than 560 tonnes.

The flight took the aircraft around southwest France as the crew explored the aircraft's flight envelope by testing it in different flaps and slats configurations and with the landing gear up and down.

This included normal flight control mode - the way the aircraft is flown in commercial service - in all configurations.

On-board equipment recorded measurements for 150,000 separate parameters and beamed real-time data to the ground."


From the ground, it could be like watching a building take off.

They will make the price of fuel go up faster than the plane itself. Global warming?????
