Hey, I'm starting electronic eng and wireless comms in AIT next week and was looking over their website and course timetable which seemed to show 41 hours per week. Seems very high to me. Has anyone done this course or one similar and could you give me an idea of hours per week Thanks

Fair enough - I hadn't considered that. But, I would still question whether a course is of a high standard just because it is EI-accredited.

I agree, from what I understand the accreditation is pretty straightforward - I'd worry about existing courses that didn't (or new courses that weren't due to) pass the evaluation.

In my own head it's a necessary but not sufficient feature of a course - theres a lot more you need to consider before signing up.

Had a look at some of the other timetables today and one (fifth year) would be about 40 hours. 10 am - 8 pm on Monday and 9/10 to 4/5 every other day. That looked like the worst one. Everything else was somewhere in between the mid 20's and mid 30's*.

* I didnt actually count, but thats what they looked to be based on mine and the one mentioned above.
