I feel a bit dissapointed and annoyed and just wanted to let off steam.
I booked to do Grade 1 of the Gundog Club training starting on Monday and as I work and its held in the evening, I wouldn't get home from work in time, pick Paddy up and get there for the class so I booked 8 days annual leave to cover the training days and exam.
Last week I got an email to say they were now offerring £40 off my course, but it didn't apply to me as I'd already paid
and if I cancelled at such short notice I'd lose more than that in a booking fee. I was annoyed to think I'd be stood next to someone who'd paid £40 less than me and thought it might have been fairer to give a reduction to all 6 in the group, but I couldn't do anything about it so never mind.
On Tuesday I got another email from them telling me that as not all the places were taken the course was now postponed to mid July
. I can't change my annual leave at such short notice so now I can't attend and feel really miffed. I know its not their fault and they want to sell all the places so the course is viable to run but its such a pain that I booked the days off as annual leave and now the course dates as changed.
Because they changed the dates they're sending me a full refund so I haven't lost any money but I'm still dissappointed, the other courses are too far for me to attend.
I still have one to one lessons with a trainer but the main thing for me was the fact that I wanted to build on him working in a small group and this would have been ideal.
