The title sounds a bit harsh!
Basically started an Indian Head Massage courseat my local college last month. Have no previous experience in massage (only in mani & pedi).
Have joined the full time level 3 class to do this unit as the part time evening course kept being cancelled.
The Full time class did this unit before xmas so Ive had no teaching just given a workbook and log in for the college remote learning.
1st week - I had IHM by student. (very lovely it was aswell!)
2nd week - same student ran through routine with me
3rd week - I was expected to know whole routine and practise on another student! I asked one of the tutors if she would do the routine on another student so I could watch and take notes. After this, I had a go and tutor half hartedley (between gossiping with students) watched me.
4th week - I brought in a model to practise on so a tutor could give me pointers - BOTH tutors were off so had a stand in who I had to explain situation to.
5th week - "NO practical class due to staff sickness"
6th weeek - Half Term. (this was last week)
(9 week course so should have 4/5weeks left)
Im expected to do a 'mock assesment' this week and feel nowhere near ready.
I know I'm an adult and you get out what you put in, I've done most of the theory work (all home based through the college online system) but I just feel as though I have no support from the tutors (the rest of the class is doing spray tanning/other L3 treatments so Im the only one doing IHM)
I am at the moment sending an email to the beauty departent to see if i can get a refund from the course as I feel Ive totally wasted my time and money and even if I did see it though and qualify I wouldnt feel confident and almost definately wouldnt offer it as a treatment.
I would much rather wait until the part time course is running and start from the begining with other students and learn at the same pace.
I hate to complain, do I have a reason to be emailing or should I really be 'teaching myself' ?
