I'm doing the 1st year as a part time, because I'm not rich enough to do the full time.

From what I've gone through so far, I found that I have difficulty trying to cope.

Some basic info below:

1. Assignments for each module (4 to be completed), thus in my case, I didn't apply for excemptions (12 assignments). The catch is that we have to complete all 12 in 4 months. All completed assignments can be passed to SIM for processing (SIM's deadline). Late assignments will be taken care of by the students (using DHL or TNT which ever you can afford).

2. Exams only once a year, May.

3. Weightage: 15% assignments, 85% exams (if I'm not wrong).

4. Payment has to be made each year. It has to be paid for the whole year before you start.

5. Have to be SIM member (quite expensive). They tend to get payment from you almost every 4 mths?

6. SIM has membership benefits, they conduct quite a number of interesting workshops like career planning (unfortunately, I don't have the time and effort to enjoy them because of the studying schedule).

This course is only suitable for those people who can really afford the time and money.
