so they used the contract to slowly demoralise people?

Not really I think they wanted people to succeed but they wanted the profit more, the contract was so unfair that if it went to court you'd have a fair chance it would be deemed unlawful due to it's unfairness, I bet you weren't informed that all the interviews were recorded and listened to, the sign -up rooms when you sign up are all micro-phoned up and calls recorded,all of the time-lines for training were ambitious to say the least, in the energy assessor side the course was difficult, the training rules were stringent, the exams hard to understand, the only good thing was that some of the trainers were good, the bad ones took wait for it.......11 times to pass one of the tests, and he was a fully trained surveyor.

sounds like the training could be good but the training experience wasnt
 
a chap at college went through BTSC but gave up after the 3rd week, he said he got no refund which I suspect means a loss fo a few thousand quid, i dodn't push further but he said it was too far to travel, i would of thought before opaying up he would have known exactly what the travel situation was .

The way these courses are sold are mainly as an impulse purchase, take the incoming call and convert to interview, interview and arrange to call back tomorrow, say they have been selected for this great "trade" and when can they pay, book a sign-up time, sign-up and pass to the trainers, all told it normally took a week, then they're in a classroom thinking "how did I get here". The other type is the person that wants a job, trade, qualifications but they aren't always told how difficult it is, it takes time to assimilate all that information.
 
peter that is exactly the feelings i get from people when they talk to me about these courses. when i point out the harsh realisties they want to argue with me and think i am being negative, they often say, "but the training centre said this..........." and "you just dont want me in the trade because i am competition". None of this is true or certainly hasnt been for the last 5 years as work has been plentiful(may be different now)

I guess we have all wanted to believe something at times, fine, but sit back and think, as you say they are often sat in a classroom before they know it, you need time to reflect on options

BTSC UK still trading, but what they are saying is BTSC EUROPE is a different company nothing to do with them! When you sign with BTSC EUROPE they were giving Job Replacement contract which was %100 job replacement, and when you finish the course, you ask for job replacement, and they advice to contact David Randall from BTSC careers and all he does keep sending cv back, asking to change bits on it or add something more, it takes more than a month to make a cv, and when all finish and he is short of ideas to waste more time , he is asking if you want to work in a warehouse till you find a job or different career, and after paying thousands of pounds to change a career and finish all course, some muppet comes from BTSC careers and tell you to work in warehouse. Just a big joke. And the other thing is that David Randall is working for BTSC UK.
My advice for people who look for training centre to search about place more, read every sentence in the contract and allways pay with credit card. If they can't give the service what you signed for, you can allways get your money back.

ive had this with david randall to- he acts all nice but just doesnt want to know in the end-BTSC's 100% job placement is a big fat lieeee!!!!- ive been gone 2 months and still sitting down finding my own work.
 
The fact they have pople looking for work is laudable but the line we sales people always said was "we guarantee a minimum of up to *** jobs per week" clear as mud, with 20-40 or so people signing a month a total of 4 people got jobs in 3 years that I know of, and I had access to these figures.
 
The job placement as i understand it was contingent upon completing the course within a difficult to achieve time frame

so there was a condition that had to be met to get work, but that condition was unlikely to be met
 
condition was 'completing each part of the training within the respective Training Period as defined in Agreement without any extensions, you can require us to provide you with job placement ,providing you notify us of your requirement in writing within one calendar month of the day you complete 11th module" they think no one can finish in that period, but we did, when we started to ask job placement than that muppet David Randall started his tricks and wasting time.
 
DAvid randall what a guy- that is all i can say stupid mann-messed everything up for quite a few people i know, i would swear but i dont want to get kicked off this forum.
