Stevenson College

Stevenson College, Edinburgh College and Jewel and Esk College have
amalgamated to form New Edinburgh College. The rating I give Stevenson
College is for the present day New Edinburgh College and new Principal.
I had my HND proposal taken from me by the College Assessor the
day before submission who then reworded, rephrased and rewrote it in
its entirity, then telling me to go and finish the other sections. He
then marked the proposal and gave me half marks for the work he had just
rewritten. I had him on tape addmitting to the rewriting of students
proposal introductions. College, SQA, SPSO, Minister for Education, not
interested, unimportant. This is not teaching students, this is faking
it.
Regardless of which College you attend, you will be subject
to the Scottish Qualification Authority (SQA) sending in what they call
an ‘External Verifier’ to assess and mark your entire HNC, HND or Degree
qualification in the time it takes to have a cup of coffee. A 1500
word proposal, a 1500 word evaluation, a 12 page annotated album of
example images, 20 A3 prints and the study and discussion with college
assessors about the work, completed in just 20 minutes.
The
College has no authority to question the verifier, the Scottish Public
Service Ombudsman cannot by law question the verifier, and the Scottish
government have no authority to question the verifier. Then just who
does? No-​one.
What is the purpose of this built in lack of
authority over the SQA verification? To fix pass rates without debate,
without appeal, without explanation and foremost without any academic
skill or regard. This is a man hired to ensure the results fit the
stats.
Qualifications are a production line fraud. You will
learn more in a day from reading a book than you will learn in a year in
College. A system that once worked, has been thrown to the wolves.

I went to get my hair cut here, as I had a friend on the hairdressing course. The training salon had everything a regular one would have and it was really nice and clean. They did a great job cutting my hair and the tutor checked it over at the end to make sure it had been cut straight and the right length. It only cost me £5 and it was helping someone get their qualification too.
