why is this TAFE's faults - because you wanted shiny bits of paper - they delivered and you are unhappy about it - maybe you should have researched the need for shiny bits of paper before you signed up??????

The automotive side was a lot of book work on **** that stopped appearing on cars before I was born, the most modern engines we had in the place was a Buick V6 and a Holden 304 both from a VN Commodore and an RB30 from a VL.
Holden donated us a new VE Commodore at one point but we didn't have any course work for it so it just sat about collecting dust with a Bosch scan tool mounted in it. |
A lot of this is a National curriculum issue, not the TAFE's, they can only teach what is in the system - the trainers probably would agree with you. As for equipmwent and as I said previously, nearly everyone wants their training for free or at least subisidised - then you complain when equipment is old - where do you think the money comes from??????? Your (subidised or free) fees. How would your business operate under the same system?
