Has anyone ever done an OU course ? I am thinking about doing one, just for my own satisfaction. But I left school at 14( further education for a girl in my family was not deemed necessary as I would get married ) I have sinced worked constantly and created a successful company, but I do wonder what if ? But feel a bit daunted, willpower I have, but I wonder if my memory would be adequate.

Yes, I got both my degrees from the OU, having messed up at brick uni.
Things are a bit different now to when I was in the OU. The fees were subsidised by the govt. and I got help from my County Council as I was a single mother.
Nowadays, it's as expensive as the fees that any other student at a brick uni would pay. However, my nephew is going to start an OU degree later this year, and has got a bursary from somewhere.
Anyway, it doesn't sound as if you're worried about the money side.
Go for it. You will get lots of support from tutors and fellow students. It's fun as well as hard work, and so worth it when you put that gown on at the end of it all. Good luck!

I wasn't quite that old when I got my last degree, and I admit my age was one factor which has decided me not to go on for a Masters.
But, there are very many successful graduates in their sixties and older as far as I can recall. There were certainly people a lot older than me (in my forties and fifties) on Summer Schools and Tutorials.
Go on, go for it, you won't regret it.
