Pros

Struggling to find any positives

Cons

You are expected to buy your own kit, pay for your own DBS check and then sit and wait for work. When I attended the assessment I was told the company was busy, more than two weeks on I have had no contact and no one at the company seems to want to keep in touch.

Hi , Thanks for the feed back! The training is free to the candidate, but costs us over £1000.00 to deliver so no one is more committed to finding a candidate work than we are. I'm sorry that things have not worked out for you. We are still committed to finding you work, so please contact the office to see what we can do for you.

Pros

It was good to get some hands on IT experience again The people that trained me are genuinely nice people that wanted me to succeed The test they provided relied more on your practical skills rather than having to answer questions on a piece of paper They offered plenty of opportunities for people wanting to start in IT/Wanting to refresh their knowledge Got my DBS Clearance through them

Cons

I've been stuck in Limbo with them for two months (As of writing this review) The work they did offer me was not very accessible and the duration didn't justify the distance The methods they use to record jobs you have done come across as antiquated and inefficient (I don't know if that's for their work, or work you do if contracted out to another company) They barely respond to your emails or phone calls. If they do, it's usually the same generic "We know you're wanting work and we're looking into it." I doesn't take two months, mate. Just get it done!
