Wise Origin College

Have great a great team and offer plenty of support!

kept me hold for several weeks for my apprenticeship after completing the revelant application forms and never bothered to contact mebunch of jokers

This is one of the worst apprenticeship centres out there , I would not recommended to anyone. I enrolled onto my apprenticeship in Nov 2019 I started to work. However 8 months later I found out i wasn’t even enrolled onto the course and I wasted 8 months.After 8 months I was told that I would be put on the level 3 course as an alternative and would not proceed with the level 2 course.I was led on by several staff members for months. Shabana , harris , Owen , Umar and Corrine. I was even told my previous employees how they disliked their own job.Studying with wise origin caused me massive stress as I was unsure about my future and no one took me serious.I was very happy with my workplace itself however I do not RECOMMEND wise origin to any young person who is looking for an apprenticeship.

Great training providers only down side is they Never offered me a cup of chai.I was shockedI seen all the staff with mugs in there hands when I asked for a cup off chai a young man said sorry no chai around here fam go do one.I said to brother I'm thirsty please give me a cup off tea, sipping the cup of tea he replied that's none of my businessAs I was walking out the staff starting throwing tea bags at me and screaming BANTER!.

I did the housing traineeship in April till July, I found out about the course via a job fair, the course was advertised in Hinckley with a guaranteed apprenticeship upon completion and this made me apply and attended the induction at Hinckley.The person I met at the the job fair was quite rushy to get me signed up which now makes me think the traineeship isn’t popular at this college which is why they withhold information or misinform you until your signed on the course.Once I’d applied I then found out that I needed to travel further to Leicester town centre as Hinckley facilities weren’t being used for some reason, I was paid for my fuel but as getting claim forms paid was a pain and I had to push really hard to have them paid.My work experience was what I wanted but wasn’t in an area I wanted as the person organising the placements doesn’t listen when you say your preferred area as she only knows Leicester town centre, which is why I didn’t take an placement/apprenticeship at my placement location.The course itself was good/educational, had the occasional days when we had pointless activities as the main tutors weren’t in but could have been done in quicker time as I feel that I wasted 10 weeks on this course which could have been better spent doing something actually worth my time.7 weeks on and have not got my course certificate or an offer of an apprenticeship. I’ve asked to be put on a list to find out when apprenticeships become available but have low chances of one being outside of Leicester town centre.Overall I would not recommend a traineeship with this college as all the promises made we’re broken and I felt like I gained nothing from my experience.

Management very professional and polite.
