    Angry Time limit

    I don't know if everyone is aware of the fact that there is a time limit on the courses. I did not and became I got tied up on another project I restarted after one year and found out that I am no longer able to submit assignments for review.

    Just a FYI for those taking the course

    Re: Time limit

    In addition, it is particularly upsetting in light of the fact that there was no reminder sent to me warning me that I was about to be dropped from the course.

    Re: Time limit

    Have you contacted admin on this? I don't think there is a deadline for course completion. This must be a mix up of some sort. Could be because of the recent PP forum update.

    Re: Time limit

    That's right.
    You are expected to complete this course within one year, even though there is no DEADLINE or time restrictions for completing each lesson and assignments.
    I read about it the first day i purchased the course, I think it was in the welcome email send from the course administration.
    Unfare in some ways - but C'est la vie

    Re: Time limit

    There is a time limit of one year to complete the course, if you don't it appears that you can go through the lessons but you won't get tutor feedbacks etc and I presume you won't get a completion certificate, this is what happened to me last year. I only got half way in the course( could make all sorts of excuses) but I had to pay another subscription to get full course access again .

    Re: Time limit

    I guess we need some explanation from admin on this then, cause it clearly states that there is no time limit on the course. This tells me just that. You have as long as you want to finish it, but there is a one year money back guarantee if you aren't satisfied. The no time limit to complete is the big draw for many here, so I think this needs to be cleared up so there are no surprises down the road.

    Re: Time limit

    Thanks Coffee,
    I did contact Peter my group leader. He emailed me back said that my one year was up and if I wanted the remaining lessons evaluated I would need to pay again.

    Where did you find the text that you included in your post? It does clearly state no time limit there.

    Well I don't know what to say to that Charlie. Clearly what the site says and what you say you experienced are two different things. I'm sure an explanation will follow by those that have authority. This is an important issue that needs clearing up.
