I started my cooking NVQ course today. It was just a bit of time to go through what's involved with the course and to do some literacy and numeracy exams to show what level of skill we have. There were seventy two literacy questions and fifty numeracy questions. I flipped through them all in about five minutes, then waited fifty minutes for the next person to finish.
Despite being questions like "2+2+__=5" (Honestly!) there was one woman who wouldn't stop whinging about the test. "How am I supposed to know these? 2 plus 2 plus 5 equals what? They've already put something there." I wanted to kick her for her stupidity. Every other time I've seen her she's been whinging about something. She has froggy eyes that poke out a bit, possibly from the pressure of her overworked brain.
