Hi there, anyone having trouble with the hcc? I'm doing the level 2 arb cert, and they haven't taken my payment outx, the website says it's closed and the phone message says they are off for half term and will be back next week, but it's been saying that for a few weeks, I've paid around 150 pounds towards it so far and am worried I might not get it back if they've gone bust? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you paid via credit card you might be able to through the CC company. I did my L2 years ago with them. Was hard work.

I decided not to enrol due to the website not taking my card payment a couple of months back. Got a few mails asking me to do it over the phone. Thankfully I declined. Found the whole thing very antiquated.

 

As said Credit Card should be no problem.

I'm doing the level 2 and they were meant to take cash and havnt, the course well I'm not exactly sure , the portfolio , how should I produce it , hand written ?

See there's no examples to look at and no guidance hcc really need to try harder !

They have/were meant to be taking payments from my debit card once a month, but when I saw a payment hadn't gone out I rang them up and looked on the website but both are like a ghost town? Ideally I'd like to continue and fi ish the course, especially because I found out today that I was getting a grant to pay my outstanding balance, but I'm in the lurch really because they are not contactable.

Looks like they have folded, says all existing people studying will be ok but. Not ideal bang goes all my work !!

Sad to read that the guy that set up the HCC passed away in March, this may have something to do with whats happened at the HCC.

Oliver menhinick died in a car accident early this year,used to live near him,he set the company up with his wife,maybe they didn't want to carry on without him.a big loss to horticulture.

Email today, they have refunded all level 2 arb course fees as they cannot continue and will be wound up by end December , sad yes but now I'm stuck with my first lesson portfolio all ready and I'm making headway with book 2 ..... Any ideas on where I can distance learn level 2 arb ,

Cheers
