Hi, started level 2 2330 etc 3 weeks ago and as of yet myself and my group as a whole are not very happy.
Too cut a long story short the college is due a new lecturer and his CRB check hasnt come through yet(apparently), the practical tutor has decided after one session of H&S that he needs a few weeks off on the sick. For reasons that seem out of the tutors control we have started the 201 module on H&S and then had three different tutors going over the same kind of stuff and nothing electrical. We had our first practical session last tuesday on our 6th lesson of the course by which time we should of been up to three theory and three practical and was shown by the supervisor a diagram of a circuit and given tools and wire shown once and told to get on with it. Que the whole class running round asking everyone else how things are done while he minced around from table to table while we were all running out of material and couldnt get things done. When we had actually wired the light up we were still given no explanation what it is for but put your name on etc and the today when it was time for practical we are joined by the other group on the course making for 50 odd people in one small workshop! 20 of us went off on an "abrasive wheel course" to learn about saws etc which we will get a "certificate" needed for if we ever go on site(I am dubious as to whether this is true). I wouldnt of bothered as we are already behind but I couldnt face the workshop and yet more benny hill style "teaching". A few of us asked the supervisor today who just keeps saying its not his fault etc which we understand but it seems to be getting beyond a joke now. No one knows anything except it is not their fault. They dont know when it will be sorted. They dont know what our timetable is because other people are letting them down and all the while we are passed from pillar to post and I really dont know much more then I did three weeks ago when we started.
Sorry if its gone on, just not sure what to do but it feels like we could still be doing this **** in 4-5 weeks and then its my future that is at stake not theirs and I am not the only to be annoyed but its getting ridiculous.
Advice please?
