How to study part-time in order to keep up and work and pass all the labs, tests and exams normally?

Question

IT education

I enrolled this year as an apprentice. I have already talked about this ( How to combine study with work, if study is part-time? ).
Since classes will be held from morning to evening, and sitting without work is not an option, questions arise:
- Is it worth partly sacrificing studies in order to work, sometimes skipping classes?
- Is it difficult to catch up?
- And how is the educational process organized in part-time education? When there is usually a course of lectures, practical work, when to take them. And also interested in the question, at what time exams are usually arranged.
- How to have time to work and learn normally?
PS Work for a full day, but implies the maximum absence - half a day.
Thank you.

Answer 1

I faced almost the same problem. I was a full-time graduate student and my boss didn't want to compromise. The compromise was that I would work 4 hours a day. So it turned out that I worked for 8 hours.
I had to sacrifice my studies a little and there were several reasons for this:
1) I did not work near the university. In order to get from work to university, I had to spend 30-40 minutes of my time. And if there are traffic jams on the roads, then, accordingly, much more.
2) Truth in self-education (c). My friend told me this. He believed that the university was a waste of time (both the student and the teacher). Therefore, I studied some things on my own. The teachers were aware of this and things that were incomprehensible to me, I just asked them.
There have never been any problems related to the delivery of works (laboratory, control, etc.). I just went to classes for a couple of weeks and watched who demanded what and how he (the teacher) reacted to the visit.
There is one downside to all of this. Because I had to work 8 hours a day, sometimes I had to stay up late at work.
