Bloody hell Dave, is that a service stuff up, ie did you do your trade through them.

how much do you have to do to catch up?

They'll be driving from all over the country to get to you, you'll never finish the house,

Yeouch that does bite. I was annoyed when I ended up 6 months behind in Tafe due to a colledge stuff up. I sympathise. But wont your previous Tafe modules and all that be interchangable...so ya shouldn't have to do all that again right?
Best of luck...I'm speechless...and ranting for ya .
I hate apprenticeship competencies anyways...Half the guys I do Tafe with will have to visit other workshops in order to pass every competency.

I can just see me doing the 10 hours or so driving to have you diagnose an electrical fault...

Geez Dave that sucks. You can use the hour or so spent in your driveway with my fuel pump if you want

I had a similar thing happen when doing my traineeship years ago. I called the TAFE and asked them why I hadn't gotten some paperwork for my courses. They said they had lost all my course history. They asked me what courses I had already done so they could enter them back into the system Well I may have just mentioned one or two non technical courses that I hadn't quite done yet

That cable is still in my garage too.

Like JohnE said. What the hell have they done mate?


Shorty.

Good to see the system working perfectly again. We had a member set to deceased on Friday. Member wasn't to pleased.
Help desk wasn't very impressed after telling the users it is all automatic when I corrected then and said I had been doing it manually as we don't get that info yet.
So let me know if you want to be dead on the system.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune BUT can you make my isuzu county quiet? Have tried just about everything, except selling it, which is fast becoming my last option. Oh, where abouts are you?

Cheers
Luke

About 2 years ago got I a record of subjects passed from TAFE for my Advanced Diploma of Business Management.

The record I got included my apprenticeship records from my time as a Fitter/Machinest, Toolmaker at REPCO.

My recolection of events is that I passed everything and got my trade certificate as evidenced by the aforementioned instrument.

Imagine my surprise when I got the record and discovered it showed me failing a subject 1st year, failing 2 subjects year 2 Failing prac year 3 and having a DNF for the trade certificate (which I lost whilst moving house in about 1990)

I guess its academic now as I never finished my time with indentures (as in never finished my 4th year) but irrespective thier records are BS.

I've have had other ppl that work for me and their tafe records are complete BS.

Cheers,

i suppose we have all guessed daves dilemna, which stevo seems to have had trouble with. i had somehting similar

Some years go, i was doing a lot of subbing for a mate i went to TAFE with, then started getting a fair bit of work on my own, so thought I would go and do some stuff on my own. ( back in the days of the Gold Card)
Couldn't find my trade certificate so went back to randwick tafe and asked for a copy, everything ws on microfilm, the results letter I got back was stated the course was incomplete, which really peeved me, it meant i had to do a practical assessment as opposed to a RPL. The funny part of it, was during the info night the Building services corp had run, myself and one other bloke were the only ones there out of 30 that had actual technical qualifications, the rest were self taught.

Another suggestion everyone can help with, why not post a list of competencies you need to achieve , that way no unrealistic requests will come your way.

just weather the storm mate, it'll sort itself out in the end.
