Locals were all mental aswell

I'll ask her next time I'm back at theirs but I don't know if Latin is much of a degree you do to further a career, I get the impression a lot of her students are doing it as something they are just interested in outside of work. So not sure they use it as something to progress themselves in a workplace.

I am currently doing BEng with the OU! need any info let me know. Finishing my 2nd year now. Materials, books etc. are always at me on time and I'm from Malta. they post with DHL. sometimes it can seem a bit expensive (compared to free university in malta) but everything seems more professional and they can be quite leniant with deadlines 
on the whole i'm quite happy with it.

I think you can do it now. It's not hard and doesn't have an exam at the end of it. If i'm not mistaken all you have are 3 assignment and an End of Course assignment (ECA). Like this you can focus on level 2 only then next year.

I rather not do 3 courses at once from the outset. I have no idea how much work i'll need to do etc
I'll do level 2 courses once the above two are done in June.
