			<![CDATA[Is anyone else doing this online course? Has anyone here completed it? <br />I do think it is a useful course and very worthwhile, and there is a tutor you can email. But I thought I was joining a group of students, with some form of forum to discuss points learned, clear up confusion and generally share opinion but I seem to be pretty much alone. I believe there was such a thing when it first launched.  Fortunately I do know a couple of people in real life who are doing the course but would have welcomed a wider debate on the topics raised.]]>

			<![CDATA[I did it right at the beginning, as one of the 'guinea pigs'. I thought it was excellent, but I wish I had the time to re-visit it and approach it more slowly! I only wish the 'bolt-on' Retrofit Co-ordinator module could get one the Retrofit Co-ordinator 'ticket' (as I believe it doesn't - correct me if that has changed). Nick]]>

			<![CDATA[I did the CLR course a couple of years ago and have just started the RC course (still no certification/badge with that), which are both really good, content wise. The forum was quite, which I put down to people not wanting to ask any questions that they might feel are too easy or potentially embarrassing.<br /><br />Speaking of which I have a similar situation with asking questions about PHPP.. does anyone have any recommendations for places to ask those? I had a browse around the iPH forum<br /><br />https://forum.passivehouse.com <br /><br />but wondered about any others..]]>

			<![CDATA[I agree that forum for CL participants seems very quiet. I joined aecb with a view to doing the course. But after seeing how very little real discussion occurred, reviewing the open access materials and docs I decided against. It clearly had a lot of enthusiastic work put into it as a mold-breaking offering. I wonder if that enthusiasm has dropped off? Many links to materials are dead. And course material updates don't appear to be happening. I do empathize - we're all too busy]]>

I follow at least 4 of the AECB tutors' feeds and there's a fair amount of PHPP discourse there, albeit sporadic.<br /><br />Not so helpful if you don't already have a crowd of knowledgeable Twitter followers on standby though, (I certainly don't!).]]>

			<![CDATA[Succssessfully completed the course just in time for the AECB conference (which was excellent). Despite my dissapointment at a lack of forum or other students to talk to, there was a lot of useful information and it was  obviously written by many knowledgeable and enthusiatic people.  <br /><br />I have now learnt they are planning to relaunch the course next year with a lot of new material and changes to the marking scheme. <br /><br />The course I took has been rebadged the &quot;foundation course&quot;. Still in two minds whether to move on to the Retrofit Coordinator course.]]>
