J Pearce Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 For the first time in 3 years, I'm not! Enjoy it, and drink lots of beer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamh Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 sweeet, same matey. Can't wait to get my hands dirty! Where abouts are you from? I'm commuting from Shepshed (Leicestershire) everyday in an attempt to minimise the debt. Are you doing 3 or 4 years? Everyone I've met so far is doing the 4 year foundation, so I'm yet to meet someone in the same situation as me. For the first time in 3 years, I'm not! Is that a good feeling or a bad one? :) Would be interesting to find out what your up to now Jon and if you've got any advice as well as drinking lots of beer. Adam.

J Pearce Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I'm working as a school performing arts technician. Other advice - go to lectures, do some work occasionally. Don't limit your drinking to beer. Cider is good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone got any veiws on what the course is like? Whats the social side of derby like? Is the course challengeing? Difficult? Boring? Exciting? Cheers, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomHoward Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I'm sure someone who has completed the course could give a much more informed view than mine, but I attended the open day 5 years ago or so and it looked a well rounded and pitched course, and the facilities were good too.

Simon Lewis Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Hi, James, Hopefully, you will get some feedback from SLLET students, as they will be able to give their honest appraisal! However, I believe that the course has a good academic challenge (it's an accredited Engineering degree), could at times be seen as difficult, but has a sufficently broad approach to entertainment technology to provide you with a range of employment options. Our graduates are working in many sectors - e.g. hire, freelance, design, technical sales & support, touring, broadcast, manufacturing, research, consultancy etc. Please feel free to ask any questions via PM - lest this becomes an 'advert' and gets zapped!

J Pearce Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 My opinions on the course can be found very easily using the search function, so I won't repeat myself. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about the course, the university or Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonwest Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 SLLET... Quite simply worked for me, and a few of my friends within one year of leaving the course have gained very good jobs / careers due to how they have applied the knowledge gained from SLLET.....including tours with some very high profile artists and also good influential positions in some large companies. Note: This course gives you a lot of extremely good, USEFUL knowledge, but not the right to be a 'top dog' in the industry..... Simon Lewis and his 'crew' will give you x amount of knowledge, only you can turn that into the next rung on the ladder. And the early learning centre (I mean library) is actually a good place to spend sometime in again search for previous statements or PM me for more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitlane Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 And the early learning centre (I mean library) is actually a good place to spend sometime in Sadly, that joke no longer works. This year they changed the name from "The Learning Centre" to "The Library"! Kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy jim Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I have applied and been accepted for this course, to start in Sept 2010, so maybe I'll see some other Blue Roomers there...?Really looking forward to it, I'm going to be applying for my halls very very shortly!

Simon Lewis Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I'm going to be applying for my halls very very shortly! I believe hall places are guaranteed for applicants who have made Derby their first choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
