helpfull

I have read this forum from time to time and thought I might be able to add some value to an already valuble resource. I am an assessor/lecturer at a College and an I.V. So I might be able to help with course related stuff.

I'm also aware that good people pay lots of money for training. In the past few years, since the City and Guild craft certificate changed there has been misinformation about what actually is the full qualification. So I hope I can help with related issues.

I also have experience with oil: well my father and grandfather are the real experts.

Same hear.

BTW, helpful, are you the real deal, or just here 4a laff? I ask 'cos, though plumbing is a ''basic skill'', your opening statement will leave me worried if I was a student in your work shop.

I have read this forum from time to time
 
Welcome helpful looking forward to your input...regards Turnpin:smile5:
 
hi Helpfull yes city and guilds changed from 6129 plumbing to 6035 and there has been nothing but an utter shambles at colleges and training centres guys paid thousands of pounds to do a course and then it was changed with neither a buy nor leave, lead was took out they added some renewable nonsense and the students where not given appropriate training texts books turning up to do online exams on things they had not studied for they offered no compensation for the guys losing out. one guy i know attended a centre and spent half a day doing a cv he is 45 years old paid thousands for course only to be told this was part of the 6035 course level 3 must have been the most expensive cv in the world,lol i mean we all done curriculum vitaes at school how on earth they added this to level 3 is an insult to peoples inteligence ,so city and guilds needs to get it act together i emailed them and gave them hell for causing such a stramash with everyone ,they replied pronto offering apologies,as far as i know there is still upheavel , some guys finishing 6129 and guys on 6035 the numbering of modules is one sorry joke what happened to 1 to 100 or was this too much for them all the staff tutors have a headache each day bamboozled with oh your doing 305 your 606 it is so complicated ,you could not make it up if you tried rant over,

jim, I would not bother about the RANT. Helpful has already been and gone???
I agree it is only three hours since he posted, but for someone helpful, I would have thought he would have put in a second post?
Personally, I believe it is someone only here 4a laff.
I will apologise when he returns to be helpful.

Sorry, the above post was directed at "village..." for his first comment.



With regards to the comments from Jim: I agree with all yourpoints. The system C&G has engendered is a sham. Some of us assessors havebeen feeding back to C&G with our concerns but how far up the chain thatgets is anyone’s guess.
 
:welcome: to the forum 'helpfull' ... always good to have another eye looking over ones shoulder :lol:
 
Like a lamb to the slaughter. I think were going to keep you busy helpful. welcome along.

C'mon helpfull, you make it seem as if I am intelligent enuff to know much. But for your likes, I'd still be packing shelves in ASDA. So thanks for showing me the ropes.
Glad to cu bark, and hope you can take the banter? Believe you me, it will help.
BTW, is there a particular reason why you failed to completely write out my name? Why did you leave out the Surname I am well upset now:banghead:

Regarding the surname it was mere economy, and congratulations for the career move...
