Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 46 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers expressed significant dissatisfaction with the service, often citing issues with payments and a general lack of contact from the company. People frequently reported that their cards or certificates were not processed or delivered in a timely manner, even after passing tests and making payments. This led to considerable frustration, with some customers losing contracts or experiencing delays in their work. Some people were dissatisfied with the customer service, noting that calls and emails often went unanswered, or that staff provided unhelpful responses. There were also concerns raised about the company's internal practices, including employee satisfaction regarding compensation and a lack of professionalism in their treatment. Conversely, a small portion of people felt satisfied with the support they received, particularly regarding assistance with exams and the helpfulness of assessors and lecturers for NVQ qualifications.

Trained and Dumped with No explanations. Guess they used us to collect Government grants and shut down the company. We’re now left High and Hopeless. Someone must be held responsible for this!

Great communication throughout and the venue for the 1 day (3hours in total) was easy to find and park! Abit pricey for what it is but they do what they say on the tin.

Absolutely appalling service

Absolutely appalling service. CSCS Couse taken on 24th January 2024 and card still not issued!! Phoned at least 5 times and always same answer 'Will be next week, sorry we have a backlog'. WHAT 7months backlog ?? Make a wise choice and go direct via CITB site.
Emailed response is same ' Now we have forwarded your CSCS card application to the card processing team to be processed it soon'
CITB have no record of application.

This business is extremely frustrating

This business is extremely frustrating.

They are trying to deliver bootskill camp courses in the UK but their staff barely speak English.

If you ask a simple question it will confuse them and they will attempt to side step it.

They have no idea what they are doing. They call the same people to enroll multiple times and ask the same bunch of questions.

I am not sure if another company delivers the actual course but if so their outsourced call centre is an absolute catastrophe of a mess. Utter shambles.

They have no idea what postcodes they support, qualified me to enroll several times. Then called hung up, called again to then out me on hold because they didn't know their own course names. Then finally after wasting another hour of my time said they didn't provide courses in the area they previously said they did and asked me to fraudulently out someone else's address down as my own to get funding.

Utter joke. Do not use.
