Hi Everyone, I actually started the comprehensive course a few years ago but have only so far completed 2 assignments, due to family committments, being a carer etc. Now, I have a lot of time to write and want to restart the course - anyone else in the same position as me? It's scary starting again, but i've decided to re-read all the modules to get some motivation. Good luck to everyone with their writing this year.

Same to you Lynn. I joined October 2010 and so far have only completed one assignment. Coming back to it after a good few months myself. Just take your time and you'll get through it.

Hi Keith, It's good to know i'm not the only one. I'm just looking through my paperwork and realised I actually started the course in January 2006! That is shocking - thank god no time limit on it when I joined up.

Hi Lynn, I know how you feel. I originally signed up in 2005, did nothing for 3 years, started again at the end of 2009 and completed 2 assignments. Now beginning 2012 - i'm back in the saddle and facing assignment 3 with much trepidation. I really plan to keep at it this year and would love to hear how you're getting on with it.

Lynn C - January 11, 2012 replied:

Hi Natale, Hey i'm starting off on assignment 3 also - of course i'll keep you posted, hopefully we can encourage each other. I started reading the coursebooks earlier and then had a peep at the ones you can download on-line - they seem to be more up to date now so I'm wondering if it's worth downloading them all so i've got all the current stuff.

Hi all, Just sent off Assignment 2 after 13 month break. Feels great to be back at it. Life does take over though so fingers crossed for this time!!

Lynn C - January 12, 2012 replied:

Hi Maureen, Good luck with your assignment.

Natale B - January 12, 2012 replied:

I'd definitely download the online materials. Thanks for the heads up, i'm going to take a look at those now.

Thank God I'm not the only one who's behind in the course.I submitted assignment 1 last April, but I'm yet to finish the second assignment. Good luck Lynn

Hi Natalie, It's a lot of stuff to download - maybe just download the current book you're working on? I'm glad i've got a Kodak printer and the inks are cheap!

Lynn C - January 13, 2012 replied:

Kwadwo K, No you're definitely not on your own! Good luck to you too, let's all try to encourage each other.

Catherine H - January 13, 2012 replied:

Just posted a thread myself about how many assignments there are? I found out I was pregnant in August so I've done virtually nothing since then! I now really want to crack on and get as much done as possible before the baby is born as my time may well be more limited then! Lynn, you said there was no time limit?! Is that correct? That would be wonderful if it is - but I had it in my mind we had a limit of 4yrs of tutoring - can anyone confirm this? (Or does it depend when you signed up?) Thanks! x

Lynn C - January 14, 2012 replied:

Hi Catherine, I think it does depend on when you signed up for the course. I signed up in 2005 and there was definitely no time limit then. However, I'm sure that has now been changed. Why don't you call or e-mail WB for confirmation?
