AWFUL EXPERIENCE - DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
This company offer flimsy qualifications that are ridiculously overpriced and absolutely no support to back it up. I enrolled on a Teaching Assistant qualification after being advised I needed it to become a TA despite the fact that I'm studying a full time Teaching Degree and was advised that I would be provided with career support and addtional qualifications that would enable me to work as a TA during my course. AT A COST OF OVER £1500!
The service was so bad the first time that I complained and got offered an entirely different course - clearly they had many complaints about the quality of the first one. The second one is so overly wordy it takes longer to complete one section that it does to complete multiple weeks of my full time degree.
There are so many other course and experience you can gain without wasting your time, energy and most importantly, ridiculous amount of money on this course.
£1500 to be a TA, no TA in the country even earns that a month to make that justifiable!
To add insult to injury I am now stuck paying for this because, despite having a shocking support team for the course, they're finance team are hot on reporting any missing payments and threatening your credit score so I have no choice but to pay it off.
Just to add for anyone who wants to be a TA, just go a volunteer in a school, I did 2 months of volunteering 1 day a week and I now work full time while completing my degree.

Hi Jodie,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
We do not feel that your comments are a fair reflection of your journey and your concerns have been raised and responded to by our Customer Services Team. You had enrolled onto the TA course prior to starting your degree and so comments that you undertook the course whilst studying your degree are incorrect.
The Training Room have supported you with your previous concerns when raised and you have been thankful for the support you had received. With regards to your comments that the TA qualifications associated with the course are unsubstantiated and completely out of order. The qualifications available are genuine and allow anyone to apply to work in a school as a Teaching Assistant on a salary.
Please do contact our Customer Services Team once more if you remain unsatisfied with their response so they can discuss this further with you.
Kind regards,
The Training Room
