Company has stolen my money.

Company has went into administration and effectively stolen my money, no replies to my emails. Booked and paid £1400 in full at the end of March when they knew they were never going to train me. Had my medical and then it was radio silence from them. Got a phone call on 23/04/24 telling me they were going bust and I wasn’t eligible for a refund. Was told that my training was transferred to another provider who were expecting me to pay £1400 again.

Absolutely atrocious way to run a company. I’ve been left out of pocket a large sum of money in the middle of a cost of living crisis. Thanks!

v.r training

decent people I came across there is Scott a driver trainer the owner stuart ( before the review reply i received )
and john C.P.C trainer
the trainer i had was Jim who never made me feel I could pass at any point shame as everything else about V.R is very professional

THIS IS FOR STUART AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS REVIEW AND WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN IS FACTS i have amended this to be as subtle as i could SO BEFORE YOU WILL OBVIOUSLY STATE ... I FAILED DUE TO MY OWN MISTAKES AND FAILINGS AND TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THOSE FACTS HOWEVER WHEN YOU FEEL YOU HAVE NO CONFIDENCE AND NOT HELPED TO BELIVE AND OR FEEL ANY DIFFERENT BY A TRAINER THATS WRONG AND THATS WHAT AM ADRESSING HERE ! ....
I have left 3 stars for the owner and driver trainer Scott and John whom I would like to thank for their time ..

I have wrote this as true as I could based on my experience

I wrote this as true as I could and down played it stuart however there are things you obviously do not see whilst not around and even though you replied with the manner in which you did I will accept it with the undemanding of he can obviously do no wrong and the reply has proven that their is a lack of customer care and due diligence and its a shame you had to reply to me in such a way however I will no dwell on this others are now able to see how non constructively you have taken my review and make their own minds up my intentions here was to highlight things and as I stated I respect V.R but like I said your reply really does show your true colours so I thank you for atleast showing readers of this review and of course the attitude of "I will take your money and treat the individual anyway I see fit" so again many thanks for your reply and I too would like to wish you every success going forward.

Hi Simon.

Many thanks for your "reviewed" comments. I still feel i should address your remarks as whilst i respect your comments and your right to have them, I will not have a mans integrity or character questioned unjustly.

We ARE a professional organisation as you kindly point out. The standards you commend us for are bizarrely set in place and managed by Jim, an instructor with over 20 years experience and an exceptionally high LGV pass rate.

You didn't just "fail due to your own mistakes", which i am glad to read you take ownership for, but you repeatedly failed several elements, despite additional support from oddly, Jim (extra 3a training after you failed that element).

It was explained to you that we do NOT provide custard creams and cuddles here and that our main "job" is to get you ready to drive commercially at the end of your course having passed your test(s) and not just to teach you "forwards, backwards, left & right".

Had you NOT had shown the standards required by DVSA to indeed pass the practical driving test, then Jim (our senior trainer & examiner) would not have presented you for test. Indeed, I recall our Jim telling you on more than one occasion, "you have the skills and ability to pass your tests".

I can only apologise that you felt that Jim did not provide the required level of affection toward you. He has been flogged and will be sent on an attitude adjustment course until he see's the error of his ways. We will assess the viability of adding the "warm & fuzzy" course to our syllabus.

We wish you every success in your career. Stay safe.
Stuart

John McCall, Thanks pal

My work put me through for cpc training, its normally in house but due to circumstances they booked it through virtue recruitment. I did a 2 day course with John McCall, hes fantastic at his job and very knowledgeable, there was such a good atmosphere within the group considering it was through zoom. Really enjoyed it and learnt alot. Thanks John from young steven
