Brits registering .uk domains mostly get first choice

Which registrars?

I've had a look around at registrars and can't find one that will process them. Anyone got any ideas?

Educating Verity the OU way

I came out feeling a lot more positive

I did several of the same courses as you and I think you've been a bit harsh.

I emailed questions to my tutors and got quick responses but on top of this (and more importantly) participated in the online seminars where good tutors gave strong advice and facilitated good discussions between students. On top of the online seminars I went to a few face to face ones in London which were invaluable. Besides the contact with the tutor I was involved in a study group that met on skype once a fortnight for a couple of hours - as a developer doing courses in management it was brilliant being in a discussion group with experienced high level managers.

I agree that the programming courses were dated but the university states the date that the courses were developed so you can make a decision based on that.

My conclusion was that the soft skills, business school stuff and timeless concepts were well delivered but for raw technical skills I'd go elsewhere.
