Hi Andrew

i am currently doing this couse, go for my second training week at the end of July, but check out http://www.electriciansforums.co.uk/...e-careers.html
this is my report on week 1.

It sounds expensive at £5500 but i look at it as an investment in my future, if you can be bothered find my thread "help needed" and that gives my background.

Cheers

Graham

I am currently half way through this course, and although its alot of info to take in i am zooming through it fairly quickly. The centre is very busy and the tutors are great. I would reccomend it to anyone especially trainee sparks who have some knowledge of electrics and are lookin to fast track the qualifications. Hope this helps

Its official Access2 Trade Careers has gone under and everyone who had paid the £5500 and is in the middle of doing a course with them is been screwed.

Its impossible to speak to anyone involved with Access2, all previous contact details are useless and aside from one email saying, "sorry we are unable to continue with your training" there has been a total communications blackout from Access2.

Anglo Capital Limited are denying any knowledge of there existence and are not willing to comment on any issues or take any responsibility for any financial loss to students of Access2, which is probably why some mug working for them took such aim to discount themselves in this topic, only think they where willing to say was to seek legal help, for all the fat lot of good that will do as I am sure they have taken every loop hole to disassociate themselves from the situation, why they leave us all saying "Where the **** is my money".

So £5500 down, nobody to speak to, no body is making any kind of communication or giving any indications, I hope Anglo Capital burn in hell, looks like everyone who gave them money has lost out, Access2 can go **** themselves.

My Advise - Don't EVER pay to train with a company under 5 years old, I have to say Access2 looked good on the front line but it turned out to be £5500 for nothing, and DONT sign up for anything linked to the name Anglo Capital Limited **** THEM

Do not sign up to Access 2 trade as they have collapsed as of Wedensday.. The course however was excellent and run by highly trained professionals. Very unfortunate that the financial backers are thieves...

UOTE=Lancaster_Daf;31940]Has anyone done a course with Access 2 Trade careers?

It's a distance learning course with four five day practical training sessions. It all looks quite impressive but i'm starting to wonder if it's all just a big scam to make a ton of money from course fees and associated credit arrangements.


1. I can't find a price list for the courses published anywhere. Not on the website and not on any of the leaflets i've been given or even on the enrolment form.

The rep who came to see me told me what the fees were, but how do i know that he didn't make up a price based on what he reckoned i could aford.


2. I have a letter telling me that they have reserved a place for me on the course but due to high demand they can only hold the place open for 14 days.

How exactly does a distance learning course become over-subscribed?


3. At the bottom of the website it says "access2 trade careers is a trading name of Anglo Capital Limited. "

And if you google anglo capital limited you find:

"Anglo Capital Limited has developed an expertise in international wealth and Succession Planning for families with a connection to Israel. If you or your heirs live in Israel, it is worth planning ahead to protect your assets and inheritance."

Why the heck are an israeli finance company running electrician courses?


4. I've just stubled accross this page and i have to wonder what are the chances of getting 2 very proffesionaly written glowing references within 4 hours of eachother? http://http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Jobs-and-Education/Question566382.html[/QUOTE]
