I'm waiting outside the function room where the second part of my basic exercise course with International Sports Academy is supposed to start 15 minutes ago.
The function room is locked, while the trainer has just arrived, late and confused. Once the room is opened in another 15 minutes or so, followed by yet another 15 minutes of bumbling to setup the laptop and projector, we would be 45 minutes behind time.
For a paid course, this is truly atrocious! I would hesitate to recommend them to anyone else given their poor performance.
While the trainer himself is fairly knowledgeable in many aspects of the field, it seems like he has never taught the course before. His teaching pace is haphazard at best, often finishing way too early, skipping certain relevant materials while spending too much on others.
He's unfamiliar with the required syllabus, bungles up some of the formulas, and has not even looked through the sample test paper beforehand, leading to uncertainty and confusion when addressing the answers, teaching the wrong answers until someone points out the conflict in the answer sheet.
Not that he's not a nice guy, but the trainer could have been better prepared. I have serious doubts when he says we can bring our handphones into the test for calculations. For a closed book test? Really?
Sigh. Another precious Saturday gone, extra income lost, and little value in exchange for it.
