Excellent course

The course was very knowledgeable. Kevin Griffiths, the tutor, was polite, explained each sessions very well to my understanding. Thank you for a memorable course experience.

Exam date pending

I have stuck to my commitment that they have asked of me spent over £200 on train fair when I’m a dad to five children on benefits have attended the course over a month on time every day and now the course is finished we have been waiting nearly four weeks for the exam date and every time we contact them we just get told we have to wait and we will send revision papers out this is not fair and do not advise anybody to do a course with this company they can find a tutor to do a months course but they can’t find a tutor to do an exam avoid at all cost

No badge after months of waiting

It has taken SO LONG since successfully completing training in November 24, and they have not paid for the SIA badge.
I’d love to get some work in this area but I can’t. I will update this when it happens.

Great Tutor –

Great Tutor –

I had the absolute pleasure of being taught by Shantanu Adib during my SIA training, and I can confidently say he is one of the best tutors I have ever had. From start to finish, his teaching was clear, efficient, and engaging, ensuring that every student fully understood the material. His ability to break down complex topics into easy-to-grasp concepts made learning both enjoyable and effective.

What truly sets Shantanu apart is his fairness, patience, and dedication to his students. He treats everyone with respect and ensures that no one is left behind, always taking the time to help where needed. His fantastic personality and positive attitude create a great learning atmosphere, making the experience both educational and enjoyable.

If you’re looking for an outstanding tutor who is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely wants his students to succeed, I highly recommend Shantanu Adib. It was an absolute pleasure to be one of his students, and I’m grateful for everything I learned from him!

The reason to why I've given a 1 star…

The reason to why I've given a 1 star is not the course itself or what was taught, the course and teachers was great I had no issues, however I am 4 months after my course, and they still havnt paid for my badge this has now made me miss out on plenty of work in the UK and over seas, there is a big work drought in my area so I heavily relied on getting this badge to get back into work, and still nothing, and I ring them up every day, to ask when it will be dine they just keep saying they will get bsck in touch with me, but other than this.....the course us great fun........

Very very poor run company.

Very very poor run company.. did my training in December 2022 it’s now July 2024 and as promised they still have not paid for my license.. I used to ring every week to see the progress and they still haven’t funded the SIA LICENSE!! Checking up and chasing it up came to every month or so and still wouldn’t fund it for me but yet again I was promised!! The admin staff on the phone sound really helpful but I don’t know if this higher problem I’m not sure..they never seem to contact you back or help sort the issue out.. I’ll probably have to do my training again before my license comes through IF it comes through!!! but all in all very very poor. I Would never recommend to anyone who wants to pursue SIA license

The company needs investigating and is…

The company needs investigating and is a sham. They take funds in your name but do not pay for the license. You are forced to write positive trust pilot reviews and are not allowed to leave until you have done so.
Do not waste your time here.
I have had to seek legal action.
The dwp needs to be informed of these and so does the trading ombudsmen.
They also write their own reviews.
For anyone else struggling with this company I strongly recommend speaking with Citizens Advice, hopefully we can stop others from being scammed. Especially the vulnerable.
