Open Colleges

Stressful, disappointing and not worth it.
The communication between me and my assessors was terrible. In terms of having assignments marked, I had to get several extensions after finishing all my assignments just because I was waiting weeks for assignments to be marked. I finally got all my assignments marked and had my assessor tell me I had passed, I then waited weeks and didn’t receive any proper confirmation, I contacted this assessor multiple times to find out when my certificate would arrive, I was told it would be sent out to me as soon as possible. After waiting approximately 3 more weeks I called open colleges and was told that no one even ticked the box to say I had completed (they admitted this was an error on the behalf of open colleges). I would love to do another course through open colleges as online study suits me, however I cannot justify spending the money and dealing with the stress of having to go through all of this again. I have not once received any form of apology or compensation for the stress and total lack of organisation. It felt like once I paid my money for the course, I was simply tossed aside and there was no commitment or care for me completing my course.
