Perfect place to start your accounting journey, Osborne offers online and classroom based training at affordable prices.

Hello, good afternoon.

I am someone who tends to worry when I haven’t fully quite grasp information just yet. So I can get very frustrated. Sohail was really calm and really helpful at getting me the right information. I can be one of those tricky customers because I have been conned before but I honestly am very thankful because Sohail has saved me a lot of stress and helped me find affordable ways in terms of exams fees and other ways to complete my exams. I really appreciate your help. I apologise again if I have been a tricky person to deal with on the phone. It is my first time doing an online learning and I having to be very cautious with everything. I have used Osborne for my Level 2 through a college and they have been genuinely really good so far.

Ian and Sohail have been super helpful with all aspects including revising for the exams and the general learning.

I had a great experience as they were very understanding when I had to rebook, online booking system is easy to use and they have good communication.

I have sat 5 exams at Osborne and had a good experience overall.

Always friendly and accommodating. Great knowledge and puts me at ease.

Held a bookkeeping exam at Osborne Training. Process went very smoothly. The team are super efficient and go that extra mile to make you feel at ease. No exam stress at all. Parking close by and building easy to find.
Would definitely use again.

The individuals I spoke with were very receptive and cordial and handled my case with precision and professionalism.

They have a very friendly customer service who clearly explain everything to register

I received such good guidance and advice from Sohail at the Watford Training Centre.
Have now taken all but 1 of my exams each time I was treated with such kindness, that made this expereince for me, after many years of not studying, less daunting than I feared.
Would recommend them.
Thank You

Tanuj was very helpful, actually called me back from a missed call and then made sure I had all the information I needed on email sent to me immediately. Many thanks!

In terms of teaching and resources Osborne Training is great. I struggled to retain my knowledge as we were advised not to take notes and I felt like a lot of the information went over my head whereas if I was taking notes I would have to be thinking about what was being said in order to write it down.

Adheena was very helpful when it comes to helping me for my exam. I have previously done AAT Level 2 with e- careers was really cheap but not good quality, I guess with Osborne training you get what you really pay for, so therefore I decided to go with Osborne training for my AAT Level 3 was the best decision of my life and career. If you would like to speak to a career advisor at Osborne training, I would recommend Sohail as he has thorough knowledge in-regards to any course.

The examiners were very friendly and very cooperative especially understanding our anxiety during exams. This friendliness makes it easy for us to tackle the pressure!

The staff is dedicated to solve students’ problems, offer support as well as the necessary resources.

They are very helpful and prompt in their response. Very knowledgeable as well.

It was a very easy and painless enrolment, and Sohail was very quick to answer any questions I would have about the course and was incredibly helpful!

I don't know if this just happened to be an "off" day, but having just sat my first AAT level 2 exam at Osborne Training's Watford site, I can confirm that it was the single worst experience I have ever had sitting any type of exam.

Summer, whom invigilated the exam was nice enough, but showed up five minutes before our exam booked for 09:00 (which I had to pay a £40 premium over their standard rate for, as it was a Saturday) meaning that we started the exam late - no biggy - I had two other students to keep me company and speculate on whether our prep and travel was going to be a waste... Unfortunately, the email sent to me previously from OT, advising that if I am sitting an exam out-of-hours or on a Saturday, I should call their admin team to let me into the building, however, this was somewhat impossible, as I was greeted with a lovely voice message telling me that their phone lines open at 10:00, but that if it was an urgent query, I should email the admin team. I emailed the admin team, but I am still waiting to hear back...

The first exam-related snag I actually had was with the login portal to sit the exam. Effectively, you are asked to use your AAT login, however, this doesn't work. It is actually your "Atlas Cloud" password (sent previously in a slightly dubious email, but this is not the fault of Osborne Training) and your username is your AAT membership number, which we figured out after an additional 10 mins of struggle. Following the login, the invigilator realised that she needed to authorise the exam which took another 5 mins or so.

Turns out at this point that I was the first person to have sat a 2022 syllabus exam, and was being used as a bit of a guinea-pig on the new system.

Anyway, I finally managed to start the exam with copious levels of anxiety following all the disruption of the morning, and 5 minutes in, the lady sitting behind me's computer crashed out part way through her exam, resulting in a full-blown discussion during the first half hour of my exam, not to mention that the poor lady was asked to change computer 5 separate times - luckily I didn't need to concentrate or anything, otherwise this might have been distracting.

Finally after all of these computer woes for all three candidates sitting their exam today, I completed & submitted, only to be told that the invigilator doesn't know how the new system works and that she can't give my results.

Let me just state explicitly, that the invigilator, Summer, was doing her best to support us, but my word, what an absolute joke of an introduction to AAT. As if sitting exams isn't nerve-wracking enough, ICT issues, late starts & quite literally a full-volume conversation for a third of the exam made this an utterly miserable experience.

Needless to say, I'll drive 500 miles for the next exam (if by some miracle I pass this one) to avoid sitting it with Osborne Training. Awful experience and beyond sub-standard exam conditions.

I'd advise any newbies to avoid at all costs until they figure out their own systems.

Very pleased with the in person classes for AAT. Ian is a great teacher who is v knowledgeable. Sohail in the office went above and beyond.

Sohail was very helpful during enrollment process and provided detailed information regarding the course.
