Guest LukeT Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Reading back through this thread and I notice your doing the same course as me at Newcastle College Chris. What year are you on? I've just started the 3rd back in September. 1st Year. I'm a mature student. Thought I was going to be the oldest, but this other guy sometimes shows up with his International Football Caps. HAHA during the last 2 years it was all aged between 18 - 25 but in the 3rd year all of the sports courses have sort of merged and theres some that are like 40+. Unfortunately theres no coaching practical this year which made me choose nutrition. Are you looking to go to Leeds for your final year? Of all of us that applied only 1 lad got accepted and he didn't even have the best grades or most coaching experience. It seemed like total pot luck, out of a hat or something. When people called Leeds up, they started making weird excuses up, even different excuses based on who you spoke to. Just a word of warning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Nah, probably see if I can finish it at Northumbria (but I expect they're a pain to get into too). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Aye, that's Uni Standard at the moment like, plus the added prospect for £9000 fee for the honour of graduating. How come we never see you in the Games section of the board? I know you like games, I see you on GAF all the time! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LukeT Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Its only going to get harder to get in. My fees have been pretty cheap at newcastle college, £2500 a year. If you need any help or advice with assignments or owt give me a shout. I didn't even know the games section existed until last week I've had a look in a few times. Get me added on Steam (LukeT87) and Xbox Live (Warick Hunt). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I'm not sure. It really could be true that this guy has appeared a handful of times for his country, but I can't even remember which country it is he's from. Its some obscure African Nation.

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Its booked (I hope). Doing it through my club, so think I have to wait for them to stamp the invoice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 so these badges take a week for each level? what do they cost? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 so these badges take a week for each level? what do they cost? Yes and no. A week initial Course, then many weeks of logged coaching, with two or three 'top up' dates before the final assessment. They start at £100 and end up costing £1000+ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to wait for my loan to come through in early January and pay for it with that I reckon. Going to do it all in one go when I book my Level 1.

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 You're laughing if you can join a decent club as a coach, that are happy to pay for your coaching education like. I really can't praise Tony and Forest Hall enough for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
