By the end of the year, I'll have the first part of a trade (Maching & Fitting) plus my year 12. Doing it all at Tafe. ;)

Other then my OH & S green card in construction and a few certificate of attainments in a couple of literacy and numeracy courses, I've got nothing really.

Certificate was done in one year, part time, while at work.

Law degree was 6 years full time as it contained an extra year for the "practical" component which was just another year of study really, with a small prac part. I did the last 3 years in a year and a half though. So it really took 4.5 years.

Psych with Hons was 4 years full time all up.

Nursing was 3 years full time, I did it when I was very young (ie started at 17).

Meh.

Statement of Attaintment, Cert I and Cert II in IT

Currently doing my final year in my Diploma of IT (Software Development) and if I do another 6 months after that I can get a Diploma of IT (Web Development).

Can't ******* wait to this year is over!

Can't be stuffed going to uni, but if I wanted to these would take a fair chunk off a Bachelor of IT. I think that's what my credits transfer into.
