The only study items they have provided for him to complete have been through email, and that was a couple of hours reading and/or answering questions from home every month. A couple of hours, compared to a weeks worth of class time every month!!??

Government policy old mate, not the TAFE's fault

Is there anything he can do as far as a refund or at least a partial refund? I genuinely feel it is warranted given the total lack of study time for the last 5 months. A total of 8-9 hours of study time is all they have provided. When it should've been about 200 hours up to this month.

he can ask for his enrolment to be deferred, there is a process around this, all he has to do is ask. They are being lenient towards these requests at the moment (Gvmt policy)
People need to understand TAFE's are responsive to Government policy of the day - they have to comply
