Racing school instructor messed up on training day

I did a training day at a racing school.  I was paired up with another lady, who I had never met before.  I introduced myself correctly, and throughout the day the training emphasis was on the other lady as she appeared to need more help than me.  (I had been reading up on techniques and stuff before the day)

At the end of the day, the instructor filled out feedback forms and he mixed up our names.  I was livid, because when the feedback was read out for the whole group I felt insulted, as my instructor had not told me this stuff when we parted.  Then when the other lady had her feedback read out, it was obvious to us both that her feedback was aimed at me (Specific references in there).  Afterwards, it was acknowledged by the racing school training centre that our names had been mixed up by the instructor, so my score was meant to be 87, mostly A's and B grades and hers 65 (all C grades).  See why I was not happy to get that score out of 100?

Name mixup at racing school

Well this woman decided to be stuborn and refused to hand back her feedback form. Unfortunately they needed to have both to cross-copy the feedback's and marks.

This meant I have pretty much wasted my money and efforts to get certification in this, as I do not have my correct mark on my form and should I want to progress further, I need to re-do the testing or training.  How crap is that?

All because the instructor at this racing school couldn't take the time to learn our names, and because the other lady wouldn't be honest with it and wanted her inflated grade courtesy of me.

A poor end to a good day out.

Racing school was originally intended to be a place to nurture young motor racing talent; but then they found out that they could make more money by providing corporate jollies for overpaid executives!

Doesn't just happen with racing school instructors, by the way, I bet that cost a few bucks.

There's people out there who are just waiting to take credit for your achievements. Best thing to do is just move on.

Isn't this covered by the "Sale of goods act"

They provide a service which has to be paid for, so I should think it should be covered.

Contact you local Trading Standards office.

Sod that, I would do the re-cert at their cost and ask for the next level to either be free or heavily discounted.

But just remember that you passed at 87% and they admitted thier mistakes, so they must pay!!

Sue via the small claims. Seriously. If you've been charged and they've screwed up, you deserve to be refunded for both fees paid and expenses incurred. Easy to do via the small claims court service.

Plus you might want to get your name tattooed across your forehead.
