Thank you to Megan Condon and Ella Brooks!
Both ladies were a breath of fresh air to speak to, polite, refreshing and well informed throughout.
Thank you for your kindness and your ability to make me feel like each time we spoke back and forth it was the first time you spoke to me, always vibrant and confident, always assured and informed.
Hope both of you have a lovely week ahead of you and Ill be sure to drop an email once Ive completed my course to let you know how I got on!
I am very pleased to meet with training room. I have experienced high quality very well organized training. Yes it was hard, yes I had to learn, but i gained good knowledge and good skill. I honestly can say just a best about them. By the help of the carrier support team I have already got a job. I am very happy and satisfied. I can recommend to any one with a good commendation. Training room as a venue of excellence and good success.
My experience with the training room was intense, but a lot of fun. Having the opportunity to condense the course down into 12 weeks is great as it got me out into the workforce more quickly. The careers dept us excellent, as they helped me get my CV together and distributed to their many corporate partners. As a result, I secured a job in a spa before my exams were complete, leading to a seamless entry to the beauty world. The tutors are so friendly and knowledgeable as well. Overall, a great experience but not for the fainthearted as it is so intense. Totally worth it in the end!
In all fairness, I have found the opposite to what the majority seem to be saying. Signing up was a bit tedious but after that point - Ive loved it. Received a phone call very quick from the career support team who were very informative and nice and Im 6 weeks into training to become a trained professional in health and social care. So far so good. Will keep you posted but overall, loving it...
The training room was amazing at signing me up, nothing, literally nothing, was too much; I received regular calls, so many that I actually recognised the number on my mobile, to find out how things were going, did I need any further information and/or assistance.
I have actually never written a review in my life but if I can help prevent anyone from making the same mistake I made, then it is worth it. THERE IS NO GRACE PERIOD IF YOU HAVE LOGGED ON. It would appear that there are no extenuating circumstances which allow you to withdraw, even within the first 14 days, if you have logged on, so if the cost of the course is in anyway a money breaker, think twice and read the terms and conditions fully.
Definitely worth the time. From the beginning to the end it was an amazing experience. The staff is very friendly, patient, understanding and very helpful with students. As a full-time employee, I really enjoyed the course. Everything was very analytically (baby steps) and understandable.
After the registration procedure that they explain everything to you then you assigned a personal tutor who will guide you through everything. I personally worked under Dr. Richard Haddlesey. I got a lot of help from him and he was quick on my e-mail responses.
Therefore, guys if you think on signing up for a course with training room I highly recommend it! Although, I have to say that it was a tough going through it. So if you are an employee and registering it will be wise to be a part time worker (or a student) because the courses require time for studying!
The course I took was the web development and design course and it was fantastic. Just for starting the course I received a free laptop which was a really good bonus. The course it self was great. The tutor who was assigned to me was a great help. I could not have finished the course with his help. Good value for money and I would recommend them to anyone.
From this qualification I now have a job as a software developer and do web design and development in my own time as a freelancer.
Very friendly and enthusiastic sales guy, job guarantee seemed worth the money, but the quality of the software developer training is absolutely appalling. I have pointed out several of these issues to TTR but because the course is provided by another company they refuse to accept any responsibility. Don't pay the money to proof-read another company's shoddy work!
I am grateful to all the tutors for supporting me all throughout this course. Really enjoyed working through the web development course.
After signing up i was told after module 11 out of 22 on the web developer course, i can start looking for work... False! Then, after passing the whole course in 11 months and told i have my tutor to help me for up to 2 years, he left and was not given another one!
The course and certificates are supposed to be industry standard but in my opinion they are not by a long way. After my course i was introduced to a "career support" representative. All i got was job adverts from him that i get every day from job sites. After 3 months he stopped contacting me. Only after i phoned to make a complaint i find out he had left the company and wasn't assigned another. I have now been passed 6 months and payed £1500 of the £3000 fees and all i have is below par qualifications. Given them a month to sort it all out or give me my money back.
I completed the Software developer course and am now Microsoft Systems expert along with my Oracle OCA Java and now work as a Java programmer earning £28k.
I am so thankful to the training room as they supported me all they way and made it easy for me to get through the material in three months and start my role.
I would recommend them to anyone looking to get into the IT industry as they provide the right qualifications that employers are looking for all around the world and the support is excellent with a permanent job at the end. It's the best decision I have made in my life!
This company posts fake job offerings on numerous job listing services (such as jora) pretending to be a trainee position at a programming or developer job. Upon giving them your name and number they call you up and instead try to push you onto their "elearning course"; they tell you they require a £100 upfront (but it's down to £50 for a limited time apparently!) to consider you then they expect over £3,000 for a 3-month course (that, again, is cheaper for a limited time, so choose fast!) Meanwhile, this was all from a posting that claimed to be for a developer position in a town near me. The website for the certificate provider they claim to use doesn't even spell HTML correctly (they spell it HMTL)
Stay away from it. It cost me around 3000 pounds and long months of learning.
The content absolute rubbish! They teach you how to use Skype under the fancy naming of the subject. They promise you a job after completion and career support for three years. They simply pass your CV to the recruitment agencies and tell you there is no job for you at the moment! Currently, trying to get my money back and warn people.
COMPLETE SCAM - I signed up with The Training Room to begin a Software Development course. I then had second thoughts about my ability to complete the course. During a telephone conversation with The Training Room, they advised me to not make any rash decisions about withdrawing from the course and I WAS TOLD TO ACCESS THE ONLINE STUDY MATERIALS BEFORE DECIDING TO WITHDRAW FROM THE COURSE. When I contacted them to confirm I did not want to continue with the course, they said - 'BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALREADY ACCESSED THE ONLINE STUDY MATERIALS, YOU ARE NOW LIABLE TO THE FULL £3000 TUITION FEES.'
Answer: Hi Kim, Thank you for the question, I know you are hoping for a response from some of our graduates, so I thought I would point you in the direction towards what some of our previous students have said about us. https://www.thetrainingroom.com/success-stories
Answer: I have been taken to court by them when I refused to pay and I will have to pay over £5500 for their scammy training. It's unthinkable that Croydon County Court supported these criminals. Shame on you Croydon County Court but hey what can you expect from Croydon?!
Answer: Don't fool yourself this company is a scam and they won't lead you anywhere they don't care about your achievements and they only care about you paying the course stay away
Answer: The prices vary depending on course, but it's definitely worth calling and enquiring.
