I see. And are you planning to leave your current job to study, or are you thinking about just taking a yearoff?
我明白了。你打算辞去现在的工作去学习还是请一年的假？
I want to know what my options are, really.
我想知道我能有什么选择。
I do not want to quit my job or anything and my employers are keen for me to get some more qualifications
我不想辞职，我的老板想让我获得更多的资质，
but obviously, it would be better if I could do a course without taking too much time away from work.
但是显然如果我不用占用很多工作时间又能上课是最好的了。
Right, so you do not really want to do the full time course, then?
好的，那么你不想上全日制课程了？
No, not really. It's also a question of finances.
是的。还有一个资金问题。
You see, my office have agreed to pay the cost of the course itself, but I would have to take unpaid leave if I want to study full time and,
我的公司同意付课程费，但是如果我上全日制课程，我得请无薪假。
well, I do not think I could afford to support myself with no salary for a whole year.
我觉得我无法一整年都没有薪水的生活下去。
OK. Well, you have two other possibilities: you could either do the part time course
好的，你有两种选择。你可以上非全日制课程，
that would be over two yearsand you would not have to take any time off work or you could do what we call a 'modular' course.
这不会占用你的工作时间，两年完成，或者你可以上模块化课程。
You could do that in eighteen months if you wanted - or longer, it's quite flexible and it would be up to you.
你可以用18个月完成或更久的时间，这个很灵活，完全取决于你。
