LancashireLass Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 So after waiting 2 months for my OH's results for his practical exam, UNSUCCESSFUL!! He's passed on all units apart from ONE UNIT! It was a one of the problem solving units, I feel so bad for him. We've sent a review form off straight away to see where he went wrong on that ONE unit Is there anyway we can appeal to them to reconsider seeing as he passed everything else and got a level 1 successful pass on the document evidence?? It just seems a bit harsh :-/ Will he need to re-sit the whole practical or just the section that he failed on? We're so gutted, going on holiday Sunday I hope it can cheer us up. He also had his power tools stolen from his van Monday evening after working his backside off all bank hol weekend. Not a good week :-(( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmacl Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 No he will just have to resit the part he failed. When i done my exam there was a few guys there resiting different parts of the exam. Vetassess is only the beginning he better get used to tests lol! A years worth waiting for him in OZ!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancashireLass Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Cheers Colin 800AUD to re-sit one problem solving question! Christ we better make the most of our holiday next week as we're going to be on beans on toast shelling out this extra dosh lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osmond8 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I really feel for you... Keep your chins up and enjoy your holiday one day, you'll be sitting in OZ reflecting on all this and it will seem all worthwhile (this is what i keep telling myself!) amy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soroka Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Sorry to hear, yes can sit just the one unit again. What did you fail on? Can help you if you want. Feel gutted for you after a 2 month agonising wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel gutted for you after a 2 month agonising wait It was my OH who sat the practical exam, the unit he failed on was 'Solve problems in single and three phase low voltage circuits'. Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Sweet Jesus! The amounts are incredible. I too wish that you hang in there and stay positive : D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkm Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Hang in there.. Can't believe 2 months wait. I did mine with future skills international got results 1 week after test. If you need help let me know as I completed mine 3 weeks ago so it is still fresh in the old memory. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancashireLass Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I know 2 months of waiting to be told bad news! We checked our Vetassess status every single morning looking for the result! We can't believe it, my OH honestly thought it would be successful. I think there was about 20 units altogether and he failed just 1 Will just have to wait for the review on the unit he failed on and take it from there, he's been working so hard lately and had nearly £2000 worth of tools stolen from his van on Monday night. Glad we're on holiday on Sunday for a week, he's gonna need it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soroka Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Problem solving is more than likely to be the direct on line with plug in leads and the instructor puts the fault on. How did that part go? Only other part may be the theory questions. Did they go ok? We knew we passed the theory on the day, was that the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
