Basic IT course update 7
Earlier this year (March to May 6th), I was undertaking a Level 1 Basic IT course. It is now 4 months since completing the course, I am STILL waiting for my certificate. Have been advised 16 weeks which to me is far too long.
So this course was undertaken via an old fashioned brick college offering distance learning.
This is another good reason to promote courses through other online providers. You get generally a certificate quickly (or can download an electronic version) on completion.
This is essential, if you need one for work, for example. At least with FutureLearn, it is a few days to deliver a nice paper certificate I suspect EdX, Free Code Camp send them out quickly too. OpenLearn issue certificates of completion within a few hours.
Parts of the UK system, are so old and antiquated, it is laughable, this is 2020. Just look at the mess the exam system was in this year. This HAS to change.
The narrative has to change, so eventually the old exam boards, with any luck with fade in to oblivion.
To be fair, there is a global pandemic. That however does not stop other providers, providing evidence of study quickly. I ended up making my own certificate in an attempt to evidence what is on my CV.
