ours was the same redhead and scarily most people come out with credits at least (ob i got quite a few distictincitons with me being so good an all). They have to let everyone pass to get the funding - no pass on money and unfortunately thats how all training works. I will say though that i am the only one left out of a full class i believe who has got a shop and who is even in the industry. I was serious from the start but you do get a lot who go on the courses in the day because they are free and they get free childminding also (in our area).
