Top Training providers in London, United Kingdom

Spam company. They told me i dont need to go LIBF examination to get Cemap certification. They also told me over the phone, Only KNOWLEDGE ACADEMY CEMAP certification is enough. After research and call around i found you must need to go through examination process at LIBF. I changed my mind and saved my money and enrolled with SIMPLY ACADEMY (Genuine). Please BEWARE and don’t loose your money to this SPAM COMPANY.

Avoid this company at all costs. They’re mis-selling courses, telling potential candidates that the courses are comprehensive and include all the material necessary to successfully pass the exam, the content of their online courses is the absolute bare minimum and not enough to successfully pass any exam without substantial home study and purchasing additional materials.
You’re better off just purchasing the literature yourself and self studying.
They use persuasive sales tactics to get you to proceed with the purchase but fail to mention that their courses are non-refundable.
The customer service and after sales team is an absolute joke and they’re not interested in anything except taking your money. Once you’ve make payment they wipe their hands of you.
They will cut the call when you try to ring them and when they do finally answer the team just fob you off.
Half of them can hardly speak English which makes communicating with them even harder.
£9 million after tax paid in dividends to the two directors last year which is taken from ripping off hard working people like myself.
Shame on you !
All the evidence I have is now being passed to the ombudsman and Barclaycard is disputing the purchase based on misrepresentation of products and services.

Would rate at minus numbers if I could!
Was sold 3 virtual courses to complete at home and sent an invoice with a 30 day deadline on it. I was chased at least twice a week for the payment, this should have been my first red flag.
Each course was sold to me as '8hours of on demand video' but when I got to them, one was as little as 58 minutes and the longest was an hour and a half! One course was extremely glitchy and I had to constantly reload the page. Another course had terrible audio, cutting out with interference. This one also had spelling or grammatical errors on screen.
Abysmal quality considering the price.
Did I learn much? Well, I saw out each of the courses, thinking surely there must be something of value here, but two of the courses, even though one had 'Masterclass' in the title, was more like 'xyz for dummies'.
Perhaps if there was 8 hours of content to get through, we would have got to the nitty gritty of what I thought I was going to learn.
When I gave them this exact feedback, I have been met with excuses.
'But there's 3 x 5 minute exercises and allowance for note taking' - note taking does not take up to 7 hours and doesn't excuse the fact your website states '8 hours of on demand VIDEO'.
'You can't have a partial refund because you signed the t&c's that state this is non-refundable' - well I would love to know what trading standards think of a company selling a product as something it isn't with absolutely no preview or sample of the terrible quality and refusing a refund when it didn't meet the expectations it was sold at.
Honestly - avoid at all costs.

After several conversations with a sales agent I bought a course to learn about a system configuration for which I didn't have access to the system. I had highlighted this during the sales process and was told, that I would receive the needed training materials and a system access for testing. I only got access to an online platform fully theoretical and no access to the system, nor materials to take away. Once the online access is clsoed, you remain with nothing in your hands. Paid more than 3000 for this, and once I started and saw that the course was useless, was not offered any of the promised materials or testing bench. Will never use again this academy.

A friend recommended the Knowledge Academy to me as she had completed her qualification with them some years ago and had a great experience.
Unfortunately this was not the same for me, I am extremely disappointed to say the least.
I originally opted for self study option of the Prince2 but once I recieved the course material thought it would be best to go for the tutor led option. What a waste of time. The tutor simply went through the presentation that was avaliable via the course materials. I paid for both foundation and practitioner, the practitioner course was literally a day going through a mock paper.
I have had very little support from the knowledge academy and it seems that they are very uninterested in my experience and putting it right.
Research other providers before spending your hard earned cash on this company

One star is for my classroom teacher only, Laura Stanley, she's amazing.
This company is shambolic, unprofessional and highly disorganised.
When I first signed up with the Knowledge Academy I signed up for the e-learning package and spent months using the video and e-book provided by them to learn and study. I changed to learn via the virtual learning course with Laura Stanley and I noticed what I had previously learnt wasn't the same, and then it was confirmed that I had been issued outdated materials. The response I received was useless. Which speaks to the overall company.

I don't know what happened to this company but it seems that they have thrown everything out of the window that would make them a professional and pleasant company to deal with.

They are incredibly slow, uncommunicative and will keep you forever waiting for getting courses activiated or exams booked. They are always out of office, absent or whatever they are.

Find another place to get your certification because definetely for the price you don't have to do it either.

did a course with them. after the course completion, getting their help to book the exam was a nightmare. customer service is great only until you pay. after that they dont pick up the call or answer the online queries

Their exam booking team is one worst team I’ve ever seen. They don’t have any coordination and Im now 1 hr before the exam and still waiting for the zoon link.

The sales person Arjun was on top while booking me in. Later when I approach him he doesn’t reply to my emails.

Their customer service are all over the place emailing without names n context.

This nightmare is just for booking foundation. I dread going through one round of this while booking practitioner.

The exam booking team lead Manisha pal gave me a non existing mobile number. She sits in UAE and gave me UK number. When I questioned she said that’s the right number and when I try to call her the number is unrecognised.

They are big SCAM

I have used 1st 4Immigration Ltd many times for visas over several years including the Schengen Visa. More recently, I used their services for my British Citizenship and Passport applications which were both successful. I highly recommend their service to anyone. Very efficient, thorough and most importantly very patient when answering all my questions. Applying for citizenship can be stressful but Natalia and Sebastian were brilliant in guiding me through the process. I look forward to using their service again soon. My best wishes to them and keep up the good work.

I highly recommend this firm.

I contacted to obtain the spouse visa within the short time frame. Before I contact this firm, others said it would be difficult and not guaranteed.

But, they did it. they understand my current situation and provide tailored service for me.

The team worked really well. Thank you so much.

Further to a referral, we contacted 1st4immigration to obtain a spouse visa. It was the best decision. Natalia and Sebastian looked after us and kept us updated throughout the process. They both replied promptly and clearly to our many questions. We highly recommend their services.

We worked with 1st 4 immigration two times, for Fiance and spouse visa processes. Natalia and Sebastian always replied all our questions very quickly and in a professional fashion. They made sure nothing was missing, all information was gathered and arranged correctly. It was a pleasure to work with 1st 4 immigration, we would use their services again! Highly recommended!

Such a great space! Love the building, very higgledy-piggledy. Main hall is the perfect size with plenty of space for all. Projector screen and monitors for all-round viewing. Very impressive!

Fantastic experience. My wife had been rejected a spousal visa due to a bureaucratic technicality that we didn't understand. When I contacted 1st4, not only did they immediately know what the problem had been, but they also assisted us with a new spousal and dependent application that got my wife approved for UK entry in less than ten months. Everyone we spoke with was polite, thorough, and fast to respond. Exceptional value for money.

I thought I could get through the visa application process on my own, but once I started trying to fulfill all of the requirements, I panicked. So I engaged 1st4Immigration and they made the process easy for me. 2 1/2 years later, I engaged them again to help me apply to extend my visa. Again, they were professional, efficient, knowledgeable and reassuring. They provided clear instructions about what information and documents are needed, and they demonstrated a thorough understanding of the process. When it comes time to apply for citizenship in a few years, I'll definitely turn to 1st4Immigration again

I had a great experience with 1st 4Immigration and successfully received a visa faster than anticipated!

As a US expat trying to get on an unmarried partner visa, both with freelance work, I knew it would require a lot of evidence. The team at 1st 4Immigration was very well organized and patient, explaining every step of the process. Will defintinely be going to them again, we were very happy with the results!

The team at 1st 4Immigration were excellent - I couldn't recommend them more highly! Jules, Sebastian and Natalia guided us through my husband's very complicated spouse visa LTR process - timescales were extended due to world events but the team led us through all the steps with expert advice and reassuring us along the way. They achieved a very successful result for us despite the complexity of our case. Huge thanks to Jules, Sebastian and Natalia - we would definitely recommend their services.

I saw them in google and called them. An Asian man pick up the phone and without even asking anything telling me to pay by card details. It was funny when he even ask for £100 to confirm my place. I do not think they are professional rather they might be a scam. I decided not to go there for my OISC course. They seems fake and scammer. I suspect they are defrauding peoples money. If anyone got robbed by them- please report them to action fraud or police.

My kids love going to the hoilday club.

Hello,
OMG, they are a scam and fraudsters. They just take monies and then no further information at all. I booked a course and all sweet talk was until I paid money. But once paid, I was not given time schedule, later I found that the office is closed and no proper trainer was there. Once I asked for refund there was no further communication. I want to report them to the authority. How come they are dodging people in this 2022 and during day light. Worse people, I curse them

Sloooooooow!

"A supportive company that gives you the opportunity to thrive in anything you want to do or become" x

Since joining the PMD Digital Youth Board as Vice-Chair during lockdown last summer, the board has allowed me to explore and learn new creative practices, be part of a supportive group of likeminded creatives and give me brilliant opportunities that wouldn’t have been accessible if it weren’t for the platform - big thank you to Cheryl and the team! 💫❤️

Staff members very helpful and clean facilities

This company took my money, gave me a date for the course. I went there on the date and there was a building, where they usually rent the room, but on that day there was nothing happening. I contacted them and they said they changed the date of the course. I was not notified! Requested my money back as no other date was provided and they refused. Do not trust this company. The are scammers!!

Great! Check out the website now.

I would never have started to pursue acting as a career if it hadn't been for the outstanding support and training that YMT offers, both in their skills courses and official productions. I was so nervous and anxious that I wouldn't fit in or belong, but you do become a big happy family whilst you're training! It's so exciting to spend a few weeks away from home creating a brand new piece of theatre with like-minded people, as well as giving you the required skills and attributes to perform full time. I will be forever grateful to everyone at YMT for the incredible opportunities they have given me, and I truly recommend to everyone, no matter what your skill level, to come to the national auditions, which are a great experience on their own!.

Lovely centre, staff are very welcoming.
Enjoyed my visit
