Ok i started this course to become an electrician back in September, throughly enjoyed it at first but by March we had a new lecturer who i find it hard to communicate with, a store person who was calling the other students dickheads when they made mistakes and generally things got a bit hot under the collar.
I got called into discuss the situation and basically felt that the course leader was saying give up you aint gonna pass this.
Anyway I thought NO i've come this far I will pass these exams and went on to pass all the written work, I was only one of three out of 16 of us who didn't have to resit any of the written work.
It then comes to the practical exam we had to install 4 sockets and a light switch which could be turned on at three points.
We should have had from 9am to 5pm to complete this task, but at 4pm we got asked to leave as the room was required for night school and we had to finish off the next day.
So my work is all looking great and is working fine up to this point, come the next morning time is ticking on and the course leader pops his head round and says, "you're running out of time, just get this working, you're not marked on what it looks like".
Luckily he says this in front of another lecturer.
So I do just that, it works, it's tested, it's safe and look great in places but not great at the point where he says stop worrying about the appearance.
We wait 2 weeks for the results and ......
Guess what, I've failed on the appearance, would I like to resit.
So I tackle the course leader about this and he denies everything, so what to do next, I've told him that the other tutor heard him say it and that another lecturer saw my work up to the point where he started giving me advice and he still denies saying it, saying i'm sorry you failed, nobody likes failing.
I really, really feel like he wasn't going to let me prove him wrong by passing everything and so the one thing he could control he made sure i failed on.
What do you think ?
