RMC Distance Education Courses

[Hunter]

I was wondering if anyone on this site is taking distance education course through RMC, and what people's impressions are.  Any insights on course content, workload, and how it fits in with your 'master plan' would be much appreciated.  From what I've heard reg force and reserve members can enroll in courses free of charge.  Are there limits to this?  Is it possible to get a degree from RMC through distance education?

I am not taking any courses but am interested in seeing any replies to this thread. I did a google search to find the above links. I hope these provide you with a helpful starting place.

To answer your question, Yes.  Here is an interesting thing to consider, if you want the military to pay for your courses you will need to do an Individual Learning Plan.    I am a RMS Clerk with plans to finish off my BA with RMC. As I pass a course, DND reimburses me my required textbooks and fees when I submit my claims through BPSO.  They allowed me to spend something like $20,000. So far, so good.  I am currently doing a distance learning course- Elements of Differential Calculus.

Below are a couple of links that may be of interest.

Not having looked at you links yet....I thought the Max you could claim (total) was up to $20,000?
