Not allowed to qualify due to poor communication skills in English

[pingpong]

Say you passed ALL you exams during your 4 year Master degree course at uni, after having gained 4 A-Levels and 9 GCSE's at a private UK Grammar school (who use Cambridge and Oxford examining boards).

Then went on to do practical assessed work training for 12 months. Then another repeat 12 months so a total of 2 years of practical training, where overall you passed 12 months of training and passed ALL of the competencies set by the authoritative body.

Then passed the training tutor's appraisals

But the final signing off was not given, as being competent, because the lady pharmacist said:
- I need more experience
- I cant communicate effectively in English.

Would this not consitute as being unfair?

As a result of this I did not qualify and was denied a career in pharmacy. The university did not back me up either they said thats her decision.

English is my first language, i got two English GCSE's, Ive given many successful vocal presentation in English at university, I got over 75% in my final year dissertation written in English.

No doubt it has caused much financial loss from a career. I mean I have heard of mute people qualifying as pharmacists..

This was quiet a few years ago, but is there still anything i can do about this to get some justice?

How long ago was "a few years ago"?

Hi
I’m not a lawyer, but I hear a lot about this occurring in different professions. The very helpful moderators here I have no doubt will advise, my thought based on your information could be about getting advice on discrimination (albeit with the factor of being of when it occurred being taken into account as has been queried)

Well spotted efpom

So pingpong asked the identical question in 2019, didn't much like the advice, but did disclose these events happened in 2005-6.

I suspect this new thread will get the same advice as the 2019 thread.

No what happened was when i logged into my account on here, I saw that previous post I had made about same issue BUT when I clicked the post link i got an error saying it could not find that post. So I assumed it had been deleted. But the link given works.
