DL MBA - How difficult is it to get 'A' grades?

This thread generated a little interest, so I thought I would provide an update.

Background (saves reading all the thread!) - My US based employer had offered partial sponsorship ($5000.00 per year) for my studying of a DL MBA on a sliding scale based upon grading as follows:

A = 100%
B = 80%
C = 60%

After receiving good advice here I contact my BS of choice; Henley Management College (UK), and they provided confirmation of the fact the a UK MBA is generally more difficult than a US based MBA (on which the sliding scale is based) and gave details of the average grade obtained at Henley - 53% (C).

I put these finding into a report to my employee offering the facts only. I did not request an amendment to the scaling, only offered the information as a relevant indicator of expected result.

My boss, a good man, took it on board and had my offer changed to the following:

Partial sponsorship ($5000.00 per year) on a sliding scale based upon grading as follows:

A = 100%
B = 100%
C = 80%

It goes to show, gather the information, offer the facts objectively and sometimes it works out your way...

Peace,
