q about "switching" from student to a WP..

I can tell you that an HND is accepted. I switched from Student to WP based on my HND plus 14 yrs of work experience.

vivekR, HND, OK, but I bet it took you a lot longer than three months to get that HND!

I reiterate .... any three-month course is clearly not a degree-level course.
