Scootray Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 I'm pretty sure to gain a higher qualification, you need to do all the NABs that are part of the course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scootray Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Hmmm...I don;t have my certificate with me, but I remember it listing the units I did to be awarded the final grade along with the exam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain America Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 I'm pretty sure tubthumper is right here. You need to sit and pass all of the nabs or they wont even let you sit the final exam.You would have to do the highers at college for a year then sit the final exams, I believe.

Guest Hobo Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Thanks guys, do you think I could do the highers part time?, i'm in full time employment so there is no chance a year at college is going to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, James Watt College offer Higher English and Maths through distance learning - James Watt College, Scotland. Courses - Highers/ Intermediate 2s..I'm not sure how it works with the exams, but it might be entirely possible to visit Aberdeen College and ask them if you can just sit the NAB's and final exam without attending classes - if you prove you're capable, I really doubt they'd say no.As for the uni courses - once you do the highers, they'd probably be more than willing to let you study whatever the hell you want part time, as long as you pay.edit : It's also worth checking to see if you can get the fees paid - no guarantees, but there's always pots of money in educational institutions to 'enable learning'.

Frosty jack would be proud.Sorry that this was a bit off topic, I was actually going to give Cloud positive rep points with that comment, but I can't.
