Just got my first 4 assignments returned in the post.Although i passed all 4, a few of the questions marked "incorrect", just didn't seem right to me.Checking through the course binder it seems that in a few areas i've been given duff information!, anyone else experienced this?
 
Hi ourkid,

Alana here from OLCI Construction Training.

I can see you have a few questions about your assignments. I would like to go through them with you. Please call me on 0800 316 8100. Alternatively you can email me on [email protected] with your number and a suitable time to call you back.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes

Thanks Alana,

I've just had chance to go through and cross reference the info in the course binder and compare with my Steve Muscroft plumbing book (seems like a large portion of the text is taken directly from this book?)

There are a few mistakes (including methods for calculating gain whilst bending copper tubing which the manual states to base on nominal bore not O.D?),also Amps = Volts/Watts then later on, Watts/Volts? and the table on page 77, joining plastic pipe....Polythene should be fusion welded?

I've e-mailed OLCI this morning,although the binder is generally very good,i'll also use Steve's book for revision.

distance learning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Home study!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOFO we used to call it!
 
The way the course is run worked for me, i could do the written stuff at home and then got to the centre for the practical side of things.
 
the first workshop covered the basics. there is some theory for unit one so did that at home ye, the practical stuff though i obviously had to go to the center to do.
