Anyone any experience of The Learning People?

Just wondering if anyone has done a course with The Learning People. Are they any good? What's the course quality like? How much support do you get? Did you get a job from doing it? Etc etc.

I have signed up (and am about to pay quite a bit for) for a block of IT courses in an attempt to have a career change, but now I'm reading some pretty shocking reviews and considering cancelling as a result...

It's very strange. They have 4.8 out of 5 on TrustPilot which is great, but it seems that these reviews are from people who've done the really good orientation, rather than actually done the course. Then other review sites have 2/10 etc with some angry people saying they are con-artists and the courses are really poor quality with no support and little chance of actually passing the exams. Apparently the people you speak to on the phone are just sales people on commission who will try to convince you that you'll be earning tons within 6 months even if you have no IT experience to start with, like me. But then I noticed the exact same angry story coming up on different review sites as if it's the same person again and again.

I must admit, it did sound too good to be true and I was totally taken in by the sales patter. I was really excited by the idea of a career change too. So... anyone done a course with them? Should I commit or cancel? Thanks!

Did you get your money back? I am on the same
situation. My circumstance has changed due to pregnancy complications, I told them i need to withdraw and I don’t care on what i have paid already they can keep it but I want them to stop charging me. But they won’t let me withdraw in the course either.

I paid for price 2 foundation. Age and practitioner course and when I asked to book exam they said you need to get 80% pass I mpractis eto get it. I passed it but they won’t book exam. Then I got busy with stuff and after a few months when I got that and asked to book they said the exam edition can no longer booked and they also will not pay back my money for services they could not provide. They call every week to enquire but they never communicated this when they called. Also their live classes are all later night for New Zelalanders and they don’t cohabit anything NZ friendly. I paid a lot of money for these courses and esxs and they failed to provide service. Now they stop responding to my emails
Or pick phone call when I question them.
Very unprofessional and been cheated of money I paid
