Planning on studying Nated? Keep this in mind about College of Cape Town.

I'm very disappointed with their ability to mark work according to their own marking guidelines. I tried reaching out to them to query this but they were unwilling to even look at my work which was graded by M Ford according to the site.

The assignment being out of 30 marks, and the second question being out of 10, my second question was entirely ignored. Yes, I agree that I did not have it identical to the marking guideline. But the question was basic math. It was Kirchoffs laws being used to calculate voltage across a resistor (of which on the question paper they had asked for the voltage across a resistor that didn't exist, just to show you the level of professionalism to be expected). And while I skipped steps, my working was correct. Even though I rounded it off to two decimal spaces rather than three (they never specified at what point to round off) I'd gotten nothing. The only other thing I did differently is that I did the loops in a different order. Which shouldn't matter when the question was to use Kirchoffs laws to calculate the voltage across a resistor as you're going to need simultaneous equations to find the current anyways.

Rant over. Just a heads up, when trying to get in contact with them over the phone you're gonna spend at least 4 hours of their admins are in on the day. They take a disgustingly long amount of time to get certificates ready (I've been waiting for one of mine since April 2019 and whether I call about it or go in person they always have an excuse, take down my number and tell me they'll call me back when they eventually print it).

The standard of work used to be better. The lecturers I've met do know their work, at least when they're willing to follow through on their own mistakes.

Overall my recommendation would be to not use them to study further. There are alternative options and it seems at the current time they have too many students for them to be able to keep up with the workload. So let's make it easier on them by not studying there. Just my opinion.
