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!

About the bed service they provide

I recommend not taking courses Construction Helpline. The tutors aren't very experienced. During team meetings, they just read from the slides and don't give helpful guidance about the course. Unfortunately, the tutor named Larisa has trouble with reading and understanding English, which makes it harder to learn. Also, if you have any problems or questions, the center doesn't give much support. Plus, the assessor named Capri isn't helpful in solving any issues. Overall, I'm very unhappy with the service quality.

If any one need more information I have video record and pictures of the team meeting

Dear customer,
We apologise if your experience has not been as per your expectation. I forwarded your case to our director of quality assurance who has provided below feedback. You used AI software to write your answers in your NVQ portfolio. You misbehaved with the teacher when you were asked questions about your answers in your NVQ portfolio. Unfortunately, we have had to remove you from our programme as we take plagiarism extremely seriously.
We understand that you were not looking for this outcome however we cannot compromise with quality of our training.
Regards,
Construction Helpline Team

Surely a scam

So around mid June, I completed the course to redo my cscs card. Ive worked in construction for over 10 years. From my own personal experience and others around me, at best were never waiting for our new cards for more than a month. This company got in touch with me about ordering a new one for me. I accepted and the order was placed mid June. Its now mid November and I still haven't received it. Ive contacted them a number of times regarding this, and they keep telling me theres a backlog and that its now under process blah blah blah. Im convinced its a scam at this stage. Ive been fortunate that is hasnt affected work too badly, but it has started to recently and with xmas coming up, Im possibly going to lose money now. Its disgraceful and very unprofessional
