Arcadia Expectation
Hey, I will be doing the same course as well. starting in Sept
I want give you a kind advice. Do not set your expectation on this Arcadia course to high. You may not get what you pay for, example the quality of the lecturers and the learning hours. You only have 1 module on 4 weekend (Sat, Sun, Sat Sun), if you have quiz on one afternoon and leave early every lesson, what kind of learning can you get for 36 contact hours for 1 module. For people who want a certification, this is really an easy course. But I am very sure you can graduate, even you miss some class or fail some quizs. But for people who want to learn something, it is not recommended. I am not sure any hiring manager who interview graduates from this course would think, it they know the quality of the program.
I cannot advice which MBA course is good, but I can tell you that Arcadia is not good. If you ask people taking this course or graduate from this course, they will have mix feeling; they do not want to degrade their value of the certification but neither do they want to lie to people how "good" this school/course is. I think only people attend this course will know in their heart. But one thing you will learn is how Aventis do business with poor student like us who want a better education for better lives.
Well, I guess you know by now I am also a student of this course. I am really enjoying it. I am late for almost every class and I never have to read the text book to pass my quiz. I have a group member who do most of my group assignment. I have a few more modules to get my cert. Nevertheless, I just want to cert. and don't really care if i learn anything or not. But i am very sure, i cannot use this cert to get a better job. This is the value I get from this course.
