Student Review

<p>Website is amazing and great to work on, however, the academy itself, is absolutely terrible.</p> <p>The curiculum consists of work at N3 level for the entire first term and the excuse that it's to brief students on what is to come doesn't consist with their application requirements to have done some engineering graphics and design study in school like technical drawing. </p> <p>The communication from the academy itself to it's students consists of email conversations on the portal and student support tickets. The emails rarely get rep**** to and always consist of excuses and never help. The tickets themselves are always delayed and consist out of a message with the summery of, email the principle. </p> <p>Exams and assignments have been lost several times by the academy where they request students who write correspondence to resubmit tasks via email, often students would still get 0 on an assignment which the academy rectifies by removing the assignment from the final grade. The portal itself when uploading assignments is often offline and means we have to email assignments in, even though every single assignment and the message on the portal states, do not subit via email. </p> <p>More than anything the following hinders me greatly. this is sold as a N4/N5 qualification including possible specialisation into a field of study from the academy. however, this qualification does not enable ANYONE to study further as this does not serve as an educational qualification but purely as a work preperation qualification for Draughtsmen. If your field of study you want to focus in requires you to complete a smaller N4/N5 study before you are able to get admission to your further study, then DO NOT use this course. It DOES NOT allow you to study further.</p> <p>In essence I really regret applying to this academy and course and i would advise this only for people trying to specifically gain an N4/N5 Draughting certificate.</p>

Reviewer Update
Currently I wish I could edit this review. At the time I made this review out of frustration and impatience and I believe I spoke hastily. This college truly aims to improve itself and has contacted me asking how they can rectify the problems I posted here. At the end of my study I received my certificates and am now pursuing a career. Every college will have its flaws and I'm sure that by now most of what I have mentioned has also ready been rectified and was greatly circumstantial and not standard procedure. I aimed to be heard and not to damage the college, my plea was heard and responded to and I do advise anyone reading this to look at the college with clarity and not be affected by one angry post. Thank you.
