Had the worst experience with open colleges and their trainers/ assessors. No communication, weeks to get replies. 3 months to mark an assignment that I had to end up calling to ask about and them to actually do anything. Got told halfway through my practical assessment there was no one to assess me and I’d have to go back when they were able to have someone assess me. Trainer laughed at me on the phone because being in Western Australia in lockdown and borders closed was funny to them. No support and I have made sure to tell every person looking at study to look anywhere other than open colleges. Would never recommend open colleges to anyone. Just for some insight, my practical assessment hours were done in January 2022, and I got assessed and signed off in May 2022. 4 months between the too. I was so very lucky that a workplace took me on knowing it wasn’t my fault I wasn’t signed off.
