Do not use

Booked a classroom course, and had it cancelled twice and told I would have to do a zoom course instead and told would refund difference. zoom course was meant to be 3 days, but only had 1.5 hours tuition in total, and then told thats it! A complete rip off! I have called many times and still not received my refund in price, a complete rip off!

I booked my cctv training with advance training academy, but the training was cancelled by the academy, I asked for my refund and I was told it will be refunded within 7-10 working day but now it’s 12 working days & my money has not been refunded.
This is a complete unacceptable & unprofessional of Advance training academy.
Refund me now.

AVOID AT ALL COST.!!!!!!!!

AVOID AT ALL COST.!!!!!!!!! Courses and prices are falsely advertised. I was misinformed and sold a course once I paid I was told the pi licence wasn't included and I'd have to pay an extra £300. Sent numerous emails and called a number of times. The customer service is dreadful . I was told I couldn't talk to a manager, in the end I went through my bank for a refund. Absolute dreadful company Money grabbers, barely speak English.

I booked an AET level 3 course with these cowboys for December 2023, and I booked a classroom course which was £75 more than the online course. This was cancelled and changed to an online course, and I was told I had to wait until I attended the course before they would consider refunding me the £75 difference, even though I had already paid. Finally, after a few chasing emails, they lied and said the difference was £25, and I had to chase that refund a couple of times. The first day of the online course was cut in half due to apparent technical issues. The tutor was always late, ironically despite teaching us during the training, that the teacher should always be the first one in the class. Despite advertising 3 weeks to receive your certificate, and me handing in my coursework on time, I had to wait 3 months and chased numerous times to finally get my certificate. They couldn’t even pay the full price for the postage; I received a notice through the door asking me to pay the rest. This was only £1.50, but another example of the poor service provided by this shoddy company. Don’t bother with these cowboys, literally any other company could give you a better service.
