AVOID THIS COMPANY

AVOID THIS COMPANY. Booked a course, needed to move it, asked for a refund and was assured it would be processed. Still haven't got my money back after a year of asking. No response to emails.

A dreadful company that gives zero care…

A dreadful company that gives zero care for their clients. I was booked on a course for May 2023 which they switched without notice to zoom and expected me to have the final day in Manchester (I live in Cardiff and booked an in person course in Cardiff). I re-scheduled for August and had to chase up only being notified the course would happen 6 days prior and then three days prior they cancelled due to family bereavement and shifted the dates and again made a day into a zoom session. Money returned after threat of court action and I still reserve the right to pursue my losses via a small claim. Avoid, avoid, avoid!

Update: In response to Pauls response... still no apology from Abertay, no acceptance that businesses suffer losses when courses are cancelled and quite shockingly Paul attempts to paint Wales Outdoors as the wrongdoer in this. Had Paul accepted poor management of the courses calendar, as outlined in my original review, all backed up by the email trail, then I may have considered removing the review. But he did not. He doubled down and continues to accept no responsibility for my business's disruption and losses associated with his poor admin, his unacceptable changing of the course delivery and poor communication throughout the course onboarding process.

Beware - Sometimes reviews say more about the attitudes of employees of Outdoor Wales through MaximusUK than Abertay. Using family bereavement is unacceptable in reviews. Then when employees aggressively post reviews on 8 different sites to cause you damage. This is a company where you don't want to upset their employees.

Beware

Having paid for our nurse to attend first aid course, they cancelled the course 2 days prior and have then failed to send money back. Please beware.

Unpleasant and uprofessional

Purchased two courses with them with a discount for a second course. One of the courses got postponed. On the day when it was supposed to happen there wasn't any communication that it wasn't going ahead. When asked for a refund they have taken the discount away although it was their fault that the second course has not taken place (twice). Still waiting for a refund two months later.

In regards to the training facilities: small, uncomfortable room with no ventilation of any kind. Tutor experience: not a confident delivery, confusing and contadicting information, very outdated power point.

Would not recommend and would deffinately not use again myself. An unpleasant and uprofessional experience from start to finish.
