Quick question I am applying through UCAS for my Foundation Degree and I have completed everything except my reference! This is my problem the criteria states no friends, relatives or family and the person show know you academically of profesionally which is fair enough, they suggest present employer or tutor. I own and run my own setting and I assume I can't write my own reference!! The last course was my NVQ 3 which is at the college where I am applying for my Foundation Degree so tutor would be a conflict of interest I assume, and as I left school in 1985 my Head Teacher probably doesn't remember me (that's if he's still with us!!).

Was just wondering if anyone else was doing the observation unit? and if so am i the only one having problems in y setting carrying out observations? we have to do an average of one observation and one analysis every other week but the observations need to be on something specific i.e IT or seperating from a carer.
