I have an apprentice working for me who qualified in Germany but her qualifications dont stand up against British insurance so she is having to resit her Level 2 then 3, we have arranged this through the local college and she is now on day release 1 day per week and with me for 4 days. She is a lovely girl as has been working as a Hair Stylist & Make Up Artist on a adhoc basis, she also specialises in Vintage & Burlesque so is an assess to us.
The problem is I am keen to get her through and qualified & its just not happening, I spoke to the college and said I wanted a fast track course, however she has now been off College for two weeks (half term) & promised a onsite visit, its not happened. The last time she was in 2 students royally kicked off on each other & disrupted the whole class.
She cannot physically do anymore coursework, as I've had her do everything she was given, she is advancing nicely in the shop but I need to get her through the qualifications ASAP as we have a need for a 3rd Hairdresser, especailly leading into the holiday and then xmas party season
I've complained to the woman who set up the apprenticeship for me, she was very empathetic & said she was come back to me with a progress update.
Am I being too presumptious that I can get our Apprentice through quickly & what is going on in the colleges? Kick offs, swearing, people playing on mobile phones & Tutors not being able to handle the class & may I add these students ARE on placements - My apprentice said if she behaved the way they other did & I found out she'd dread to think what would happen to her.. sacked was my answer!! Anyone else having these problems?
