I enrolled in the cert 4 woodworking at the chadstone campus at the start of 2016. The enrollment process was a little slow and inefficient but it didn't bother me too much, prob because everyone was really friendly and welcoming. The teacher was very welcoming, even though he didn't know much about what actually was going to happen (how the course structure was). I assumed we could talk more once the course started. Once the course started it was extremely un-organised and he didn't know the outline of what or how he was going to teach. I never knew what to expect, or how to clarify things. He taught at such different paces with different people that he was basically teaching everyone one on one and I (and others) were waiting long periods for their turn to be taught the next tiny step (cause there was no clear plan or clear handouts). I find this stuff pretty hard (which is why I enrolled into a class and not try and tackle it myself on youtube) and need support, clarity and encouragement along the way... which i didn't get because the teacher was overwhelmed with teaching everyone one on one. When I suggested a plan, he got flustered like he didn't want to put that much effort in teaching. I feel he is an ex-tradie with no teaching experience and wanted a more cruisy way to make an income later in his life. I didn't know who to ask for help or how to learn from this place, so I stopped turning up... and lost my fee. It was a very disappointing experience for me and there were other courses I was interested in doing from there as well but obviously decided against in the end for reasons mentioned above. :(
