Leeds College of Technology Feedback - Leeds

**Leonie** · 07-06-2009

I'm 99% of the way through my 2330, 2 exams left of my 3 year evening course.

I have been in constant contact with the LCT about their poor teaching standards - they are trying to improve but seem to be working against the tide of the 'old boys club regime' not helped by the Electricians site being a different site to the main college.

the college is amalgamating with Park Lane College and Keighley College for the 09 academic year with a new Principal. I would be interested to see how things improve, if at all.

thanks
Leonie

Leonie
i am a first year
i no what you mean me I myself goes to LCT i am doing my AM 1 i think it is on monday and they havent showed us how to do swa or micc in depth just given us a work sheet same with the testing

luckerly i am good and have bin tought well at sec and shown how to do these things but some of the other lads and lass in our groop dont have much of a clue we was going in to our theory test which is a drawing of a 1 way lighting circuit and mat sheet and half of the lads were asking how to do the one way lighting circuit i just thing that the teachers dont care at all ant think the teaching the show us is a verry LOW standard

but its good to see ladies taking up the trade and good luck to you

Daniel, Why on earth are they puting you through the AM1??

That was scrapped about 11 years ago (just after I'd done it) Ther's no need whatsoever to be doing that now.

The AM2 is what you need to be doing.
