So I'm very seriously thinking about taking a course or two. I talked to my Manager the other day and he has no problem with me spending down time on some course work. Now I'm trying to figure out what would be the most beneficial thing to take. It's to early to start on an MBA because I haven't been in a management position and most programs want a certain amount of time in one. Also I don't really think that I'd want to devote the time required. That said though I want to have the option of getting a certificate or some sort of designation from what I'm doing. Should I take a course from Athabaska Online or from OC or UBC-O or what! I need some advise. I'm kind of leaning towards taking some HR courses mostly because of the shitty way that most companies treat their employees at site. There's one from Athabaska that deals with employment law that looks interesting and would be very good for my own knowledge. I don't know what to do! Tell me would you!

Hey KS, what's 'appenin'? I'm in need of doing some upgrade courses myself, and I'm thinking of going through Thompson Rivers University...I have a couple of friends who did stuff through them, and they seem cheap and easy--just the way I like 'em! I don't think it's worth paying extra for a "real" university (UBC, SFU, UVic, etc.) because it about twice as much money, and what more do you get, really? Of course, it depends on whether or not you want to use the credits earned to transfer into a different kind of program--then it might matter. I think you should figure out your long-term goal first.
Email me, if you like!
