Can I defer my online Level 3?
Hello
Not sure anyone can help me with my question. Basically I started the Level 3 Diploma online in November 2011, at around the same time as doubling my workload as my husband became my assistant, I'm a childminder and I work daily from 7:30-18:00 averaging looking after 5 under 5's and my own 4 and 7 year old, it's very full on but we both love it.
Anyway I've been very ill once this year with a severe kidney infection which went undiagnosed as I had various other things going on at the time, chest infection etc which masked it. Obviously this put my coursework back a little, by about 1.5 weeks but I worked hard to catch up and did. Now however I've been ill since last Saturday and today had to visit an Urgent Care Centre and have a chest and throat infection, the GP I saw basically said something has to give in my life I'm overdoing it and not resting at all.
Obviously we cannot give up our work or even lessen it, it is our sole income into our family, the only thing that I can do is to defer studying until my health is completely Ok and perhaps things quieten down. Has anyone ever had to defer, how do I go about it, is there a fine? I'm actually in tears writing this because I'm not usually a quitter but my family need a healthy mum and it's been a bit scary of late how bad my health has been affected and no matter how I look at it the studying has taken over my life and I do get stressed out with it.
Hope someone can help with the defer question and sorry to ramble on.
