Our college moved from Trinity to C&G - what a mistake that was!! We
all prefered Trinity - C&G is far too time comsuming (and there were
many errors in the exam papers). We did C&G for a couple of years, but
after a lot of protesting we eventually moved to Cambridge. We are all
a lot happier :-)
I know I haven't answered your questions specifically, but as a tutor, I
can't stand C&G!
Regards,
Elinor

Subject: City and Guilds ESOL qualifications
Dear Colleagues
Our college is proposing to change from September 2011 from Trinity
College London qualifications to City and Guilds qualifications. Has
anyone else had direct experience of this type of change?
If so,please could you advise/comment on the following:
1. Your opinion on the quality of C&G ESOL qualifications at all
levels.
2. How long does it take to set up the administration and the use of
the C&G qualifications, including changing the syllabus, schemes of
work, assessment, moderation, training staff and general administration
etc.?
3. What would be the recommended lead-in time before the start of the
courses?
4. Did it help retention and achievement statistics?
5. Feedback from learners on the C&G quals?
Any other comments/advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks
Diana Mackintosh
