Here is a quick summary of our 2019 Foundation Online courses, for those interested in stats.<\/p>\n

This year’s numbers are lower than previous years, as we stopped for 5 months to so that we could update the course material for the new RSGB syllabus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our last complete course before the break was in June 2019, with a record of 82 candidates looking to complete before the syllabus change. We ran a small course in July for some last-minute candidates, and restarted in December 2019, breaking the record with 85 attendees.<\/p>\n

Course Material<\/h3>\n

The major work this year was to update the course to support the new RSGB syllabus. This has meant re-recording videos, re-writing classroom modules, creating new mock questions, and updating the slides<\/a>. For interest, here is a breakdown of the PowerPoint slide count, showing how many new slides have had to be created to support the new content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
