Bradstone Allington Omdömen 135

Avoid at all costs. In my opinion this company is a scam and my experience with them was honestly awful.

I had already paid over £1,300 and got none of my money back. I completed the exam and was told I failed, even though I later had my answers checked by a professional lecturer who said my answers were correct and should have passed. After failing me, they then demanded another £145 just to retake the exam, which felt extremely suspicious to me.

There were already loads of red flags before this too. I constantly felt pressured into making payments quickly, the communication was inconsistent, and different fees were mentioned at different times. Nothing ever felt clear or professional.

The worst part is that after I told them clearly that I did not want to continue with the course anymore, they still attempted to take money from my account. After that, they stopped replying to me properly and ignored my messages.

I later spoke to Citizens Advice about everything and was told the situation appeared highly concerning.

Please do your research before giving this company any money. I genuinely regret signing up.

This organisation is a scam. They persuade you to pay for their course and offer so many benefits. They do not deliver, you will not get a placement that’s worth any value, your CV will be reviewed by someone junior with no experience, their courses have spelling mistakes and is a scam.

Well structured coursework for beginners and flexible online format.

I would highly not recommend anyone to use this program. This is daylight robbery. I joined the program and they all sounded professional at first and I did an interview as well and they promised me training and a career at the end.

There was absolutely no support through out the training. Poor material too. I took the exams which I had to retake over and over. As I thought this was all worth it for my career.
I have not heard anything from the day I sent them my certificate. I sent emails to raise a complaint but they were all ignored. I have wasted my money and time with them. These companies should be banned. Worse it was too late to opt out. I Need my money back please!!!!!!! As this was no good to me at all. The career team never even did a follow up.

I regret even taking up the training with them. I don't just mean to put a nasty review for fun, but this is coming from a disappointed heart. I signed up in 2023 and it's been 2 years now. I have even finished paying the 28 month direct debits and gone down the drain for nothing. This is just to help other people out there that this is not the company to work with at all. I wish I could put 0 star.

The reply (which came a year later) didn't adequately address my original review dated 18th February 2022, but instead, unsurprisingly, tried to deflect. The reason I 'struggled' with the exam was because as I stated in my original review the material was inadequate in preparing for the exam.

I'm an Oxford graduate and have 9 first time ACCA passes (self-studied), so I know when material isn't appropriate (maybe this is to encourage retaking in order to make more money from exam fees). There were a significant number of questions in the exam that you simply couldn't answer correctly based on the material provided without it being a fluke (which isn't the case with ITonlinelearning), this is why I didn't even bother to retake and continue despite paying so much money as I was that unimpressed.

There's no point offering extra support when the material could have and should have corresponded better with the exam. I'm only talking about the Excel exam as I didn't sit the others. The purpose of my review isn't to simply discredit Bradstone Allington, but to help prospective applicants make an informed choice and, if possible, encourage a more efficient course provision.

As for the hands-on practical training, this can be done without real client files and still using various software packages as I did with KBM, training you can put on your CV even if you weren't placed, so you're guaranteed to get something for the money you pay.

I've seen that you've received quite a few 1-star reviews and if you don't want to receive even more, I would advise taking heed and addressing certain issues as opposed to simply excusing them.

My experience with Bradston Allington was deeply disappointing and financially wasteful. I enrolled based on their key promise: guaranteed job placement after completing the Accounting programme.

After paying the fees and finishing the course, this promise proved to be completely empty. There was no job support, no career guidance, and no tangible results to speak of. The "job guarantee" was merely a marketing tactic.

The training quality was equally poor. The modules were all pre-recorded videos with no clear explanations or opportunity to ask questions. It felt like an impersonal and cheaply assembled product, not a professional educational experience.

Despite this lack of value, their finance department is very active, sending frequent and demanding payment reminders.

I feel misled and cheated. I invested money hoping to build a career, but all I received was inadequate training and broken promises. I strongly advise potential students to look elsewhere for a reputable and transparent institution.

The staff and course tutors were always responsive and willing to answer any questions. I was able to follow along and complete the accounting training course in 4 months thanks to their support.

Got a phone call saying they would offer me a job but i lacked experience so they could offer me a training program with costs around £2000 and i saw the red flags straight away, went and searched this company on reddit and saw people had faced the exam same scam calls. Do not pay this company a penny.

Sold me a program promising moon and stars. Assured job interviews.
All the promises made over call (no email or brochure) so that in future it can never be verified as the call recording won't be provided to the investigating agency.
Work placement is a joke. Completely fake and useless.

Worst part, when you realise you have wasted your money opting this course it will be too late to ask for a refund which you won't be getting anyway and you have wasted your time and efforts in a hope to secure a job and build career.

Companies like this should be banned.

Bradstone Allington is one of a kind. I was always in a state of confusion when I, as an international student graduate in London was overwhelmed with too many accounting courses and training centres in and around London. The initial phase was numerous telephonic conversations with the course representative and finally had an interview with one of the career consultants of Bradstone Allington to get selected in the process.
After I joined the accounting program, there was an efficient website of the accounting courses including the Ms Excel, Sage 50 and Xero accounting software. The course was rigorous but with plenty of resources and modules from beginner to advanced levels as the course progresses. Everything that I learned was from the resources that were provided by the Bradstone Allington course and tutor support and were in the line with the UK and the international accounting practices and framework . After completing the course I was pretty confident about how the UK firms operate their overall accounting activities in modern software so that everything is line with the accounting framework and provided every accurate results to both businesses and the stakeholders involved.
I am proud that I joined Bradstone Allington in my late career due to the confidence built up by the tutor and the rigorous course that it provides with plenty of resources to build up your accounting skills and horizon.

Key skills are enhanced through the rigorous training program.

I had an absolutely terrible experience with Bradstone Allington’s recruitment team. I completed my placement in march 2023. They promised me a permanent job after completing the training I paid for, but this promise turned out to be empty. Despite repeated follow-ups, all I received were excuses and no real opportunities.

To make matters worse, the CV they drafted for me was subpar and did not meet professional standards. It was clear that they weren’t invested in helping me secure a role, despite all the reassurances they gave in the beginning.

I trusted this company to deliver on their promises, but they completely failed to do so. I would not recommend them to anyone seeking genuine career support or training.

I recently finished an Accountancy Trainee Program with Bradstoneallington and was impressed by the overall quality. The course materials are well-organised and simple to follow.  This course covers all of the essential subjects, with detailed explanations and real-world examples. Whether you are starting out or looking to improve your existing knowledge, the course gives a solid foundation and helpful insights. The use of hands-on exercises helped to reinforce essential concepts. The video and audio quality were outstanding, and the visuals used in the course helped me understand the topic. Whenever I had questions or required clarification, the Tutor support responded quickly and provided useful feedback.

Everyone at Bradstone Arlington was amazing at providing information when it came to the course. The response from my personal tutor was very good as well. They were very efficient in answering any questions and helping me throughout the whole process.

I look forward to taking on more courses with them.

Thank you!!

I found the course to be helpful in improving my abilities in using Excel and Sage 50 so far.

I purchased the analytical course, it started well but when I reached the job placement it was a complete shamble. They promised real experience and if performed well a potential job position, what I found was a "mentor" that showed up once a week, showed how use common platforms (Google sheets, draw.io) and the rest were pre recorded lessons. Even if it was a great person spending 2.000 pounds for tutorials that I could of find on YouTube is outrageous, I don't recommend.

My course consultant is Abdul Bah he has been really helpful during the introduction of the course and he still makes sure that eveything is going on well by checking on me regularly and the necessary advice I am so happy to have him as my course consultant.

Very good programme. I like the course structure which is easy to follow and very simple to understand. I am a law graduate and took this programme to wider my opportunity to proceed further with my carer.

Legal profession is all about continuous learning and keeping yourself updated. Bradstone Allington's Paralegal Management Programme is structured to enhance the skills needed for a modern day Paralegal aiming for career excellence.

It was great experience at Bradstone. Trainee Accountant Course gave me all required knowledge and skills as the course is designed in simple and easy way to understand. Thanks to fully supportive tutor who made my career path easy.
