“I have just completed a course with CTC fully online. Great communication and quick replies to modules submitted. I was not able to access tutor support as the times were when I was working so out of hours slots would be great if possible. But I did email.and got an answer quickly. Thank you everyone involved.”
“Absolutely fantastic resources and support. Feedback helpful and work marked promptly. I’ve completed many online courses and this has to be one of the best. Excellent value for money.”
“Thanks. CTC made this enjoyable and easy. You have to put the work in, but the feedback is fair and thorough. The support and guidance from start to finish was professional. I would certainly use them again and recommend CTC to anyway looking for a place to do this. Very happy 😃 Value for money, excellent.”
“I have just completed two of CTC's courses and I found them to be really well run and well supported. The online information and tutor support throughout was excellent and although it was challenging at times, I got through the work and got my grades very quickly. I would be very happy to recommend this training organisation to people in the future.”
“I have now completed 3 courses with CTC Training and I am so grateful for the patience, help and support received. The distance learning option allows me to work on my course as and when I can alongside my busy teaching role. Feedback is supportive and quick and I have always received quick replies when I have asked for support. Thank you so much Craig, Chris and team. I 100% recommend CTC Training.”
“Excellent course structure, easy to navigate throughout my learning experience and fantastic support from course tutors. Thank you CTC team for all your help and support in obtaining my qualification.”
“I really enjoyed studying my Certificate of Education and Training with CTC. The course material is very interesting and provides a solid framework for teaching in a classroom. My tutor, Craig, provided insightful feedback for each assessment in a timely manner. I would highly recommend studying with CTC to anyone who is looking to gain industry recognised qualifications.”
“Great company and great course!! I found the course to be really useful and logical. All the stuff you need is there for you, you just need to look!!
Felt like a bit of a burden having emailed my tutor a few times but he was always quick to reply and really friendly.
I would (and have) highly recommend!!”
“An excellent course, with great tutor support and feedback on all assignments. Also, encouragement with an email to see if everything was okay if I didn't submit anything for a few weeks. I would highly recommend CTC training and wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future.”
“I would not recommend this company for training. I have had numerous issues with their online system which has not enabled me to complete the course modules. This has been ongoing since 2019 and I have had to keep extending the course.
I informed the company of this by email on many occasions and they have ignored the issues.
The learning material did not open for me on their learning portal, I was told this can happen but was not given a resolution.
Upon raising a complaint they company were rude and offered no resolution.
I have been now left with no option but to review and warn others. Upon telling the company I would review them they tried to use scare tactics, warning me to be careful if I review them badly. I am unsure what they are implying by this. My response was I will give a honest review which I am entitlement to do.
I have completed many courses in the past up to degree level and have never had any issues or received such terrible training and support.
I am drawing a line under this and have lost the money for this course and will be now sourcing a reputable company to train with.
I’m sure the company will make its excuses, or even deny this happened, however there is no excuse not to support and provide learning materials to their students or to ignore emails when there are issues.”
Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to leave this review. We always welcome feedback positive or negative. Having had the chance to review this particular situation we feel as though this review is very unfair.
As you can see from our hundreds of positive reviews, we take great pride in our learning platform and on going levels of learning support offered by our dedicated tutor team. In this instance, however, we feel this review is more likely aimed at the fact we had to fail certain assignments. Unfortunately, it was found that some assignments were flagged for plagiarism, copied from online sharing websites.
It is against our company policy and to accept these types of submissions, as well as our awarding bodies. Whilst there may well be some companies out there that would accept these types of submissions, we do not. The whole objective of learning with us is to develop individuals so that they are truly ready to take on their next role, whatever that might be and not simply a 'tick box exercise'.
We wish you all the best with your new provider.
“Throughout the whole process I found the CTC Training to be brilliant. Quick turning around on marking assessments and offering assistance. Will definitely be using CTC Training again and would highly recommend their services.”
“Well organized but the assessment review time is not what it was explained. All the assessments were revised in 7 days, when it should be 3/5 according with the initial information.”
We aim for 3 working days for grading. Sorry if we didn't complete this quick enough for you on this occasion, we are working hard to get a high number of submissions graded and returned particularly during school holidays when submission numbers have been extremely high.
“This is a great course. It's fully online and the tutors are available when you need them. I took the course at a busy time, so it sometimes took just over a week for assignments to be marked, but the feedback was always constructive and helpful. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to get their L3 AET qualification.”
“A clear and logical format, though with a couple of bugbears along the way. Being reminded that I hadn't logged in was simply irritating, and it would have been good to get some warning that the whole thing was being moved onto an entirely new platform. Feedback during the first half of the course was sparse, but improved during the second half. Having followed the instructions to upload the microlesson onto a third party's platform, it wasn't then downloaded to look at until, being prompted by that third party that the link was about to expire after a week, I contacted CTC to prompt them to do so. Having then followed the further instructions given by CTC, a further prompt was necessary before it was actually looked at and graded. That took three weeks in total, beyond what the T&Cs state. Overall, the course and the materials were good, though some tweaks to improve the service given would be beneficial.”
Thanks for your review. Unfortunately, when people take a number of years to complete the course and have a number of free extensions beyond the 12 months paid for, things may change part way through to keep our materials fresh and keep up with the changing online marketplace. Many of our customers enjoy having 1 email a month from us to offer support and we are very sorry that this annoyed you. Additionally, We are sorry that grading your work took longer than usual but we do provide advice and guidance on recording your sessions and uploading them directly into the online system without trying to use third party software to help prevent delays. We are very pleased you managed to complete your qualification with us and wish you all the very best for the future.
“Thoroughly enjoyed this course. It really helped to be able to do it in my own time around work. The assignments were easy to understand and I knew there was help as well if I needed it.”
