UK level I classroom preps

[chirag_shah]

Hi,

I am just wondering how many of you in UK will be taking classroom preps for Level I in December?

I am asking because I heard it costs some GBP 1800-2000. which is something like 3.5 times the cost of taking the exam. Just trying to get a sense of how big a market it is given this fact

It costs a lot but it is worth the cost...class room training helps a lot as compared to self study.

" Class room training helps a lot as compared to self study" is very relative!!

It all depends on your experience, your educational background and of course your level of discipline and commitment.

I would personally go for a self study programme rather sticking to a classroom schedule and studying to the pace of the instructor and other students in the classroom. Again its all relative!!

No one knows you better than yourself, so go with the strategy that works well for you.

I agree it is relative.

I was saying, in my experience, I have noticed that for most guys class room training helps a lot as compared to self study because of many reasons including the following

- someone assisting in the understanding process as compared to trying to understand everything yourself

- A ready made peer group meeting regularly which helps motivation as compared to having to make your own group which may not meet at regular and frequent intervals

- Opportunity to network

- You have a knowledgeable person, someone who has been through the drill, guiding you through the process. This definitely gives you an advantage

Plus the experience is much fuller, much more enjoyable then the lonely grind of self study. Personally, I would say the cost gets justified on just this one point. Because it simply makes the process bearable.
