      Be wary - as someone who has been through it I can testify to the fact that if you want to do a worthwhile programme it is a LOT of work. Young family/very little time to study don't make an ideal combination if you want a decent MBA.

      Don't worry about the grumpy gits here - most of them are just jealous. If you want advice about MBAs and what's involved I am happy to take it offline so this lot don't take the piss out of you.

          Many thanks...!

          Been to the interview - got a provisional offer subject to the online application form.

          I was concerned about my lack of a degree but my business, IT and plan b experience was more than acceptable - and the best bit.....

          60% of the first year is funded by you tax payers.... Cheers!!!

            I've got nothing against MBA's

            The only things I've read are:

            1) go for quality rather than price

            2) they are mainly for those under 40, a bit of a waste of money for anyone over that age (that snippet was from The Times...)

              Well done.

              I don't suppose they asked about money at all?

              PS I know what I speak about. Been there, done it.
