Leeds College of Technology Feedback - Leeds

[Leonie]

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

I don't know how to advise you mate.If the tutors are that bad then try this link,possibly get your boss to complain or even go to the local papers about the poor standards of teaching.At the end of the day it's you who will lose out and they don't seem to give a stuff

i went to lct. they are bad! all training to cock and new tutors who dont have clue on the course content. when i did my apprenticeship, they made it up as they went along! we ended up doing our 3 years over about 3 years and nine months! great to get time off work but the course work etc we had to take home was unbelievably huge.
all the old school decent tutors and course 'directors' etc or whatever they like to call themselves have left or been sacked!!! i can name them all!! stay away!! i hear a 'better' place is the lockwood way site where most courses have been shifted to. i did call in there with regards to courses a few months back. very helpfull however, it still took three guys to answer my questions between them with the aid of leaflets! bless em though,they tried as they knew they were getting my personally hard earned dollar. many courses are available at many different places now. even private firms are taking on company training etc. i hear harrogate college is very good if any help
