Hey all,
I just wanted to get some advice as i’m not too sure what to do.
I currently do an Advanced Apprenticeship in Hospitality. I’ve applied to start an International Tourism Degree at Plymouth Uni, and I have been given a conditional to achieve the L3 Apprenticeship and also a L2 Functional Skills Maths.
I have taken the Maths exam 7 times and cannot pass, but whenever I do a mock, I pass. So I can clearly do the maths? I was meant to have a reader set up for me, just to see if that helps, but the College my Apprenticeship is through had not arranged this in time. I will supposedly have one for my exam next week.
Anyway, I am unable to enter the end point stage of my apprenticeship and have 5 separate forms of examination for this. Until i’ve passed the maths Exam.
The Uni want my results by the 31st of August, and I have stated to admissions, several times now my exam results may not come back until the 1st week of September, this means that it’ll be after the deadline they have set. I will then have to wait for a planning meeting with the end point assessors for my apprenticeship.
Now I may get really lucky and get my results for maths within a week or two and be able to set my EPA up quicker, but I am unsure.
The Uni have changed my Conditional Offers to state that I now only need the Advanced Apprenticeship, and not the Maths. But I cannot complete the Apprenticeship without Maths.
I just feel a bit of a fool really, I’m 23 years old and feel like an absolute idiot that I can’t pass my maths and it’s holding me back.
The Admissions team have said to me that I should just defer it for another year and they don’t really seem that fussed?
