Barston College is a re-do of Oxbridge…
Barston College is a re-do of Oxbridge Home Learning, what a scam!! they have gone bust and no way of getting the money I paid for my course back, like so many others that signed up with Oxbridge. I’ve already left a review on Trustpilot for Oxbridge. I feel so ripped off.. Do not sign up with Oxbridge or Barston go with a good established college that are trusted and can deliver.
How is it possible to go bust with a company and it just sets up again in a different name but with the same website? This must be illegal.
