Whoop and holla! I had it confirmed this afternoon in a video meeting to the new EQA that she has looked at your work and has released your award - you have passed!!!!! The college can now claim your certificates and hopefully soon you will have them! Congratulations all, you thoroughly deserve it. I will be in touch....

# data[].attributes.body
We appear to have been given another EQA to assess the work, this is not down to any issues just workloads at VTCT - and a distinct lack of communication! We have again have two meetings with staff at VTCT next week to register our frustration and anger (again!) at the way in which you, as a group (with L4), have been treated. It's unbelievable that we will have a viable vaccine against covid in a shorter time then it takes VTCT to check the work!!

# data[].attributes.body
Hello to anyone reading! Have you had your results yet? Or have any information? Any idea, Roy? x

VTCT is uploading work so fingers crossed on the decision

Don't be tempted to hold your breath though!
Level 4 will be going ahead - thanks for registering your interest online, I will call you back this week (hopefully) with details. But it will mean a mask and visor job for the classes!

# data[].attributes.body
No news on the assessments yet -sorry folks.
The college has, however, opened up the Part time enrollment for the new year. So if you were thinking of doing the Level 4 it is now a two part process which involves going to the L4 course page on the GCS website and hitting the "Request a telephone interview" button. This will then send me an "Expression of interest" email. I am then supposed to give you a call for a chat then approve you! Although there is no obligation to take up the place if you feel it's not right. At least this process will flag up potential students so will help plan the sessions in the treatment room.

# data[].attributes.body
News just in....
Update! All work that has been internally verified will be uploaded to the EQA by the end of next week with a decision expected in early September. I have assurances that both courses will be in the first batch of work submitted. Once we have the ok you will be sent a letter stating you have passed and are awaiting the certificate.

Hi Roy

No new news! Still awaiting word from the EQA. All the internal verification has been completed with no issues so it's fingers crossed and a little more of a wait I'm afraid.

Is there a link I need for the teams meeting

# data[].attributes.body
Are we meeting tonight at 6 on teams, Roy?

Are we all free tomorrow evening?
Can we all access the Teams page?

There is a copy in Teams and on Moodle

Quiz? Tonight? - did you read that twice? 

# data[].attributes.body
Can you read over the first mock paper we completed before lockdown please. This will form your little online quiz which more than likely we will all do next week. No meeting this evening or tomorrow but I will be online Thursday at 6pm - and of course during the days.

# data[].attributes.body
VTCT are going with a 70% completion rule across both theory and practical. Theory shouldn't be a problem since we are working to complete all, although I may ask some to prioritise any missing work if it needs to be sampled. For the practical you will need to have evidence of two out of the three case studies - again most have. For the exam I will more than likely give you a mock paper to complete and send back - it may take too long to convert to a Forms quiz! Time frames I'm not sure - I have two dates although it will more than likely be the end of August at the outside. I'll be online this evening to answer any queries as usual.

# data[].attributes.body
Roy - can you please add Yasmin

# data[].attributes.body
There is a webinar with VTCT tomorrow at 4pm so we are hoping for more specific information regarding our courses but until we get to speak to our EQA nothing final as yet. I hope to get an updated list of completed work to you by the start of next week. I will be online again tonight if you wish to chat/ask questions. Cheers and keep being a lert!

# data[].attributes.body
Sorry for the urgency but can you txt back with how much of your case studies you have completed - I know some have been sent in. Each CS1,2&3 should have 4 treatment sheets  2 of which were undertaken in college - in theory! So if all of CS1 has been completed txt CS1 - 4/4 similar for other two. I now have another spreadsheet to complete  by the end of the day!!

# data[].attributes.body
No new news I'm afraid, the course is in the adaption group but until we get to talk to our EQA I cant say for certain the exact format. I believe the exam will be a written worksheet and that the obs/ case study write ups will be enough evidence - watch this space........again!

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Roy
Are there any meeting this week for us ?

# data[].attributes.body
For your information...

# data[].attributes.body
Hi all, still no news from VTCT ironically today was the date set for the EQA visit! I have nothing new to go over as such this week, in fact I'm a little swamped with all the work you have sent in - well done for keeping it going, I think!! I will be available this evening if you need to have a chat about things but keep doing what you are doing and I'll keep you updated. There will be some new quizzes/ clips shortly.

# data[].attributes.body
Just posted on Teams - Anatomical directions clip (3mins)

# data[].attributes.body
Nothing new to go over - I've just looked at the Theoretical case study and it's fairly self-explanatory. If you are ok with everything then carry on with the assessments. If you want to review past work/ powerpoints/ case studies then I will be online at 6pm. This goes for Wednesday as well. At the moment there is still no cast iron directive from VTCT - last week's webinar was pathetic and felt like pre-recorded. There is another meeting today but I am not in this one so waiting for the outcome. Stay safe y'all!

Nothing new for this evening, as we said last week the focus is on completing the work for USP42. If you have a particular question or want to go over a ppt then join in @6 otherwise I will hold a review meeting next week.

# data[].attributes.body
VTCT still deciding what they will do with the exam! After 45mins of discussion we got nowhere - it doesn't help that they themselves do not know if they will be working in the near future or on furlough. Sorry folks

# data[].attributes.body
All of the above are now "open" on Moodle. The first assessment wasn't visible yesterday but I have removed the cloaking device! They are also on the File tab in Teams. I will hopefully by Friday get round to adding a narration to each one.

"All EPA (end-point assessment) bookings for March, April and May will now be postponed until at least June 2020. VTCT will be accepting bookings for the month of June, however, please be aware that that depending on circumstances and government guidelines these may be subject to change."
I think they are being over optimistic!! Hopefully they will see this and decide on a definite plan.

# data[].attributes.body
Any news on the theory exam?

# data[].attributes.body
Due to the ongoing challenges and uncertainty in relation to COVID-19, the College has taken the decision to suspend face to face teaching and learning to students across all campuses from 4.30pm this Friday.

In view of the current guidelines, this will take effect immediately (Thursday 19 March) for our vulnerable Independent Living Skills students.

From Monday 23 March, we will move formally to online learning and remote delivery only.

At present, we intend to keep our campuses open from next week only for staff who wish to come in to undertake further lesson preparation and some business support work. Staff who are able to work remotely are encouraged to do so.

Our priority over the coming days and weeks will be supporting our students and staff as we make this transition.

We thank you for your continuing patience and cooperation at a very difficult time.

Stay safe

Mark Jones
Principal

How to get there!

# data[].attributes.body
As a college student you have access to Microsoft 365 and the Teams app. Can you email me from your normal account so I can set this up. Using the app means we can share information/ chats/ video conferencing. Cheers.

# data[].attributes.body
Due to the present situation - and the Government briefing last night, the organisers have cancelled the event. Hopefully it will be re-arranged later in the year - although they haven't said which year! :)

# data[].attributes.body
At the moment there are no plans to close college but it looks like the situation is escalating so I will keep you updated. The plan for tomorrow is a little joint action and then a Mock paper. We may well finish earlier than 9pm but as luck would have it we cant go to the pub!
If you are concerned in any way or are self-isolating then let me know during the day so I can plan accordingly.

Any case study must be asked about recent travel and then be booked in at reception on arrival if they have not been to one of the areas of concern - that also goes for you too I'm afraid!!!!

I should hopefully have someone tomorrow for 7.30.

Unfortunately we cannot operate two salons simultaneously so we can only dream of space.
What we can do is use the Holistics room which has 11 functioning beds which will make it easier. A rota can be made for students if they want to massage two clients.
