Current Certificate Student's Page
This page supplements the Current Student's Home Page which has the latest news and views for all WEMTC Students. This page includes information relevant specifically to existing Independent Certificate students.
For more general information on Independent Training with WEMTC see our Independent Study Page.
Latest News and Notices
I write this after having just visited the Cheltenham induction evening where we welcomed 4 new Cheltenham Certificate students. So welcome Andrew, Mary, Julia and Janet. If there are others my apologies, the crowd was overwhelming but very exciting. Welcome also to Frank at Bristol and anyone at Ludlow I don't know of.
We hope you will find this page relevant to issues specifically related to being an independent Certificate student with WEMTC. It should be updated twice a year or more often if things happen. The Current Student's Home Page is updated at least twice a term with general information.
Suggestions for improvements are always welcome. For really up to date news and relevant items, we are dependent on you providing us with details and requests! Please send us suggestions or photos (electronic or hard copy), book reviews, jokes, questions, gossip? and other items for posting on this WEMTC noticeboard. And don't forget to use the email discussion forum
If you have any problems at all with the site let me know by sending an email or telling me directly - please be as detailed as possible so that we can locate the problem.
Latest Changes to the Web
The web site is currently going through a major overhaul to update it in line with the new programme that came on stream starting in September 2003. The web site will try to keep one step ahead of the programme but will take about two years to complete. So apologies for any empty placeholders you might find. The following are some of the most recently updated pages that are relevant to Certificate Students:
- The Certificate Page
- A page marker has been put in for every new module in the new programme. Many of these 80 odd new pages are empty (but not all - find the needle in the haystack!)and I hope to keep one step of these modules being taught as they are intoduced over the next three years. See our Modules page
- Our Year One taught modules now have a page of their own which is nearly complete see
Years Two and Three should see the old Taught Modules page for links to each Taught Module (this is the most complete section of the web - I hope you find it useful).
Do browse, explore and enjoy! Then let us know what else you would like to see here or what you would like me to complete more quickly.
In my naivete I hoped to have a brand new website up and running in Sept 2000....then surely I could find time in the summer to complete it....then.... So we have decided to run with "good enough website" and fill in the gaps as we go long. Therefore some pages are simply markers for work under construction. Those on the WEMTC forum will get automatic notice of the changes as they appear.
The following Pages on the WEMTC website may be of interest to you:
