I recently started a NVQ Nail Services course in February - March 2012. First I trained in manicure and pedicure, one day. I didnt get asked to go back in then for around 6 weeks. I was then assessed in manicure and pedicure, and passed. Again, weeks went by and I didnt hear much. In the meantime I was emailing her, with no reply. I still hadnt got any books or the memory stick with the work I had to complete on. So I tried again. I had an email with a date to go in. I went in, did acrylics, and picked up my memory stick and books. I got home and the memory stick was the wrong course!! So I took it back to her and she said shed post it back to me, with the correct work. I received it in the post along with a list of dates. BUT when I plugged the memory stick into my computer, it was all in Mac .pages files, so I couldnt view them on my Windows computer. Luckily, I am skilled with the computer so had to spend two hours converting them.
Then I realised the book I had was a Beauty Therapy textbook only, when Im on a nail course. I also to this date havent had the assessment book, so still have no idea what images and portfolio evidence Im supposed to be doing. I have been there a maximum of approximately 5-6 times since starting. Finding it difficult to progress.
Today I got asked to go in and when I went in, demo of acrylics YET again. For the 3rd time, and something Im very confident and pushing to be assessed in to which she gave me 6th August, to be assessed.
Now this is what angered me, she said to me today If youre not finished by October mind, Im going to have to charge you extra, for my services and time... An extra £300. I was horrified!!!!
I borrowed the money for the course from a family member to invest in my future and provide a better future for me. I am not progressing in my course and not being treated very well.
How am I supposed to finish before October when she isnt teaching me anything? Why should I pay her any more?
I paid to pass my course and teach me! And in the current situation I may as well have thrown a load of money away, as thats exactly what I have done!
Id preferably like to pass my course, if not I would like a full refund, but I can imagine her being very co operative.
Some advice and help would be greatly appreciated.
