Hi peterdainels,
I understand what your saying, ever since I started the electro technology course from level 2, the lecturers have some what been under par in their way of teaching.
Some Lectures cannot understand that all students coming in to this industry are not working in the electrical industry or have anything to do with the electrical industry.
Take my example I don't work in this industry I do 3 hours a week at college 6pm to 9pm trying to absorb as much as I can by the time next week comes, only 10% of what I learn't is still in my head, this is because I have work commitments, family commitments.
The lectures should ask what industry you are in ? and go from there I am in my forties plus, life at the minute is hard trying to keep a job this is why I want something to fall back on just in case the inevitable happens and I lose my job due to redundancies.
This college course in like a fast track course and City and Guilds don't make it any easier what we are being taught and what comes up on the exam paper is nearly always completely different which totally annoys me. There question are based around an everyday working life of an apprentices.
All they want to do is make money
sorry for being so bitter.
Thanks
