It was closed despite clear directions from the government to open the learning centres. They don't reply email or call.

In March this year I passed two exams and was advised the result will be emailed in one month. There was no email obviously so I contacted them, they told me to contact the exam centre, so I did. There they told me I should receive an email with the results and my certificates will be sent by post. Every week I contacted them regarding my results and every week I was getting the same response that my results should be sent via email. After I finally received my results via email I was advised my certificates will be delivered \as soon as they can\. This obviously did not happen so I kept on calling and getting the same response \as soon as they can\. Eventually I was told to contact the Croydon Calat centre (where the exams took place) as apparently my certificates were there so I can pick them up myself. Due to my long working hours I was not able to do that so I asked them if the certificates can be sent by post to my home address. I was advised they can send them via standard Royal Mail service but if Royal Mail loses them I would have to pay Calat 25 for each certificate duplicate. What the hell? A certificate like this, which proves my skills is a very important document which should be sent by Calat making sure it is delivered safely and promptly to the hands of the student. I find this situation unacceptable. I paid for this course almost 600 and Calat has a problem with spending 6 for the safe (recorded) delivery??? Additionally a few lessons were cancelled yet they refused a refund for these lessons. Very disappointed.

SvetlanaLaves Says it as it is

It seems that the South Norwood centre which is where I went in the 2000’s to is no longer operating. So several years I did a basic computing course here entry and level 1 and they were ok, no problems with those tutors but not many people would need to do those courses these days. I also did other courses like OCR in Bookkeeping, Accounting and computerised Bookkeeping which also no longer seem to be offered anywhere. I am not going to name the tutor but I remember the tutor being a middle age individual, rude with no patience whatsoever to me and to a few students, some students may have not had a problem because they had already done courses in Accounting or similar contents before or had acquired work experience somewhere. After getting some work in the field (small roles) I thought to myself I don’t understand what the fuss was all about??? And I paid so much money for courses that will not get you far and can quite easily be learnt online for a fraction of the price without all the aggravation from a frustrated and tired tutor.
