Avoid CST

Avoid CST – absolute waste of time and money.

Two assessors over two days gave conflicting information, causing my operative to fail the SSSTS test.
The course link arrived just 10 minutes before start.

We were given a hard sales pitch promising the world on other courses, only for it to be a clear cash grab.

They even sent the invoice to the completely wrong company.
The list of failures is endless and we’ve had zero responses despite chasing them.

Utterly unprofessional and incompetent. I will not associate my name or brand with this provider. Strongly advise everyone to stay away.

Hi Jamie, thank you for your review. We take feedback like this very seriously.

We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet the standard we aim to provide and sincerely apologise for the frustration caused, including the invoicing error.

Following your feedback, we carried out a full review of the course documentation and examination results. This identified an issue that required further investigation, after which we can confirm that your operative's revised result is a pass.

Our quality assurance process is designed to ensure all assessment outcomes are fair and accurate, and in this instance it identified the need for your result to be amended.

We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our processes and communication going forward.

I had printed a course workbook and thought we would work though it. however this was not the case as the course workbook matirial and layout did not follow. I am not a strong note taker and found myself becoming very stressed and distracted by copying text into my notes which ended up being a bit of a mess. hopefully i have learnt enough to pass my test. I was told it was an open book exam. what book?
I found the instructior to be very personable and informative.

Hi Tim, thank you for your review.

Firstly, we would like to congratulate you on successfully completing your course with us. We're pleased to hear that you found your instructor personable and informative.

We're sorry to hear that the workbook didn't meet your expectations. For our online courses, we provide digital eBook course resources, so there's no need to print the workbook beforehand. The eBook is designed to be used during the course and includes helpful features such as a search function, an interactive table of contents, thumbnail page previews, and bookmarking, making it much quicker and easier to find the information you need throughout the training.

Thank you for your feedback.

I found the online training course very well presented

I found the online training course to be very informative and well delivered. Lee was an excellent trainer who explained everything thoroughly and ensured all the key points were clearly understood. He took the time to provide detailed explanations, using practical examples where appropriate, which made the content easy to follow and apply.

The course was well structured, engaging, and covered the subject in sufficient depth. I would highly recommend this training to anyone looking to improve their knowledge and understanding of the topic.

the course was well presented. Lee was very knowledgeable. It was a little heavy going at times as i normally work on much smaller sites than most others on the course. sometimes hard to see how to relate it to my own work but Lee did try his best to do that.
