Hi, I think you still show lack of respect by calling me by my first name. I don’t want anything more to do with your college. You have dragged me three times to your college, for enrolment, to
pick up a letter, and for a fist course-day on a wrong day. And a false letter and a disappairing e-mail is involved. And a guy at the college who clapped me on the back, and patronised me. I’ve had enough of your college. I already have enough credits for a bachelor degree. That’s just something to do with admistration, in Norway. This, (that I went to your college), was to do with my carreer-plan with NCS. And nothing to do with degrees. Like I’ve told you earlier. In 2011 I was thrown out of University of Sunderland-accomodation ‘nazi-style’. When I woke up today I wondered if my problems in the UK was due to
that my great-great-grandfather, in Denmark, before the was had to
give up a big factory in Fredriksverk, in Denmark, to his sisters
British husband. (A Danish family-company. They built the harbour for the town, etc). This was after a conflict, and the British in-law-guy Stephenson, got
the Danish familiy-factory. (My grandmother in Norway told me a few years ago, while I lived in
Liverpool City Centre). So to cover up this, Brits still mess with this guys, (Heegaard’s), desendants. Is that it? Erik Ribsskog

For this reason, we must ensure that we have enough students to at least meet our basic operating costs for the course. Although I cannot comment on your past experiences with Liverpool Community College, these are the reasons behind our decision in this case.

If you were to pursue this route it would require a larger financial and time commitment, but it may be an avenue you hadn’t considered. I will hold my hands up and say, I don’t know whether your Foundation Degree would meet their entry requirements, however it may be worth exploring.

>> Hello Erik,
>>
>> Thank you for getting in touch. I have tried to contact you by telephone a couple of times which I have unfortunately been unsuccessful. I had also sent you an email (see below) informing you of the course cancellation.
>>
>> I was unaware that a letter had been sent to you with an incorrect start date for the course, so I can only apologise for that. The courses scheduled start date for induction should have been Wednesday 11th, so as you can imagine I was expecting a couple of days for you to receive this information.

>> Hi Erik,
>>
>> I have just tried to phone you.
>>
>> I am sorry to say that due to a low number of applicants for the CAD course, we have made the decision that it would not be viable to run the course this year. It’s a shame as historically we have had good enrolment on the course, however I think that it is a casualty of current economic times that courses like this are not as sought after as they used to be.
>>
>> Anyway, sorry we will not be able help you with your CAD training this year. If you require CAD specifically, I believe Liverpool Community is advertising the course, I am not sure about other institutions. If you are just generally looking for courses to develop your career or skill set, please feel free to look through the our website, or contact the college careers advice to see if there is anything else you would be interested in.
>>
>> In relation to your fees that you have paid on enrolment (if applicable), I will inform our office of the status of the course, and you will be able to claim a refund from them.
>>
>> Again, I’m sorry about this situation.

>> Hi,

>> i was at Pembroke Building today at 17.50 for the first course-day.
>>
>> (See attached scans about CAD-course).
>>
>> I asked the guy in the reception, about the course.
>>
>> He told me to sit down, and waited for ten minutes, and then he used five minutes, to ask in another room, about the course, after I gave the files I’ve attached.
>>
>> This guy, (who said he was Terry from Security), told me, that you have written the wrong day, on the letter.

>> And he said he couldn’t find the person responsible for the course.

>>
>> I was wondering whats going on.
