''Student left with huge debt and no qualification slates distance learning college 24/7 Training UK
College accused of promoting itself with Tommy Walsh video made for a different training provider''.

The website of distance learning college 24/7 Training UK carries an impressive endorsement from television DIY expert Tommy Walsh.

He gushes about the huge job opportunities in the home energy renewables industry for anyone with plumbing and electrical qualifications, describing the training course as the "complete package".

"If you have the motivation and will to succeed, our proven programme will deliver the skills and qualifications for either a well-paid career or enable you to start a thriving business in this essential new generation industry," he says.

That endorsement was one reason that army veteran Thomas Rose got a £7,800 loan to pay 24/7 Training UK for its home energy renewables and plumbing course.

But he became quickly disillusioned, describing the course text books as having “no accreditation or author – they looked as if they were just downloaded off any website.”

Then he discovered that the Tommy Walsh video had been made for a different college, Engineering Real Results, or ERR Limited.

Avoid at all costs!! its a scam!!

I want to know how to cancel my course. After not receiving what I was told I would receive. I’m also seeing a lot of other people with the same problem. I don’t feel comfortable paying for this as it is sending my anxiety and panic attacks through the roof.

24/7 is managed by a bunch of cowboys and only have the intention of tying you down on a contract and taking your money. It's one MASSIVE SCAM and it provides the worst blended learning, with no feedback on progression, spelling mistakes and information explained awfully. Course advisors claim City & Guilds accredited but they're not, they run through another company called EER. which makes me think if they're all in on this massive scam.

Report these companies through;
Action Fraud, Citezens Advice, Trading Standards, WatchDog, etc. The more noise, the better. the day will come when people who are involved within these companies are found out and punished.

1 year so far and going well. Anyone talking about not having practical is their own fault, you cannot have it till you read required books.

Avoid this terrible scam course at all costs ,they will relieve you of thousands of pounds for some 15 year old text books and nothing more !!! total scumbags

My son has been on this course at the Wolverhampton training Centre over 18 months and has not had a practical. When he signed up he was told he would have a practical after he finished the first book, now he's on the fourth and yet no practical.
Rang them up and they are not very helpful, think its time to cancel the contract.

My opinion - good service from tutors, office, ERR and C&G. I started plumbing courses level 2 in Jan 2022, first practice I started in November( delays because covid and huge queues) but my last session I booked on 21 April. Its meant in 1 year and 3 months I will finish level 2 plumbing and I'm going start level 3 from May .
So don't read people this opinion below.
Good job 247traininguk

I also have been on this course nearly two years , I have completed up to tma 19 and haven’t been to any college yet ??? Has anyone here actually been to one of their colleges yet or better that is there anyone that’s actually got a gold card through these people because now I’m very tempted to freeze the payment

Avoid at all costs

Read all the reviews iv got nothing good to say for this company
No help mistakes in material they give you down to the customer service
Oh and the promise you’ll be a qualified electrician at the end is a lie
Please avoid all costs and avoid the mistakes we have all made

I’m currently doing my level 2 plumbing and heating with this company, I’m towards the end of the course however reading the reviews from everyone I’m not sure if I have taken the best path to get my NVQ in plumbing. Not sure what I should do going forwards could someone please help. After I’ve finished my course will I come out with a C&G or not

Absolute scam,heavy sales pitch,promise the world but deliver nothing.Where are these supportive tutors??? Course materials are delivered,but that’s where the course ends.Just a scam to get money from desperate people trying to build a career.Company just wants to take advantage and collect ‘students’ money.

It is the biggest scam I signup for the course and after that I have told them I want to cancel the course but every time they said no no who the hell are you to say no money is going out of my pocket I am paying £180 a month for no reason and I want to cancel the course at any cost

Started off with the fact that I was told it would be like a regular student loan (ie a small percentage taken each month) to find that 180£ gets taken out of my account each month for nearly a year. I have repeatedly said I want to cancel and have been told no numerous times. They give absolutely no support even during the course

Note: I have called the finance company multiple times and they have been rude and won’t refund me any of my money

This is a complete scam I have been on an electrical course for over a year and a half and only attended 2 weekends. Everytime I ring to book another I am met with another lie and delay tactic. The people in the call center are rude and unhelpful. I am 4.5k out of pocket and have nothing to show for it l. Do not use this company.

Not worth its weight in gold. I signed up just over a year ago and have learnt nothing due to spelling mistakes and outdated learning styles for an absolute fortune. Do not waste your time with this and look elsewhere for more advanced skills learning.

This is the 2nd review im writing, Ok, so i have been doing this course now for a year and half (im a postman working for Royal Mail) I signed up and straight away had my course materials sent in a laptop style bag to my house (book 1, cd, leaflets, info etc) i started working through the book and twice i had a tutor phone me to see how im getting on also messages to say "if i needed help to contact them, and hope that everything is going well" im now more than half way through the course, infact there's 39 modules and im on module 25. I have learned a hell of a lot during this time considering i didnt know anything about electrics and ive been to ERR (the practical Centre twice now, 2 weekends) and about to book the 3rd lot. Let me say it was very enjoyable, i had a great time, learned even more, tutor even sat down at the end 121 who answered any questions i or a few others wanted to know, he was very knowledgeable and a great laugh at the same time. (Loved our Nigel in Wolverhampton) also made a few friends who i am in contact with. I had an online GOLA exam the last time i went, passed (All City and Guilds exams). Anytime ive needed help at home with the books (which has ever been once) or when i want to query something (which as been a few times) they've picked up straight away when I've phoned and been helpful and understanding). All payments been taken when they should be, on the same date each month at the same amount. Probably got a year left now with my course ,so will of been 2 and half years in total which i think is great. You can go a bit quicker than this or longer than this depending on how quick, how often, how quickly you take things in by reading the course material. (also i haven't come across any bad spelling in the books as somebody said in a review) So these bad reviews I'm not getting it, Its been fantastic, i cant wait till my next time in
centre and also cant wait to complete the journey and end up a fully qualified electrician.

Scam tried to get my money back for a year! Worst thing I’ve ever signed up to! One massive corrupt scam!

I was un employed at the time of signing up to this course. The advisor said I must say I'm in employment for the camera otherwise I would end up paying more. I was promised 24/7 support with the course with the addition of in person training on occasions.
I started out with the course but soon hit a barrier where I needed support. When calling the centre I was put through to a receptionist who told me the answer, but did not explain anything, so I could move on. This was strange but I thought it would make sense later on. It didn't.
I then did an online test that again I could not pass. The results never gave you the answers you got correct so I was unsure where I needed to go back to. I tried the test several times going back over everything but still was unable to pass so I called to speak to my tutor. Unfortunately they were unavailable so I again spoke with a receptionist who proceeded to say she was unsure but she would let me bypass this to go onto the next part. Again this is not what I call learning as I actually need to understand what it is I'm supposed to do to carry on with the course.
The same barriers kept coming up until it got to the point where I just could not be bothered. I stopped trying as I was getting no where. Unless I phone them they never contact to see how I'm getting on. They have no advice for you as they teach you nothing. You are paying for nothing. I am now undecided as to whether or not I continue to pay this company my money as they are no help and I am no more knowledgeable in the subject now, as before I started the course.
These people are money hungry and will do anything for you to sign up. Once they have your money they do not contact or help you. Truly evil people especially when you are trying to better yourself. Stay well clear. They will take your money and your dignity. If anyone has managed to get out of this situation or knows a way out can you let me know please

The contract says 'may exercise the rights to cancel' however when you ask to cancel the answer is NO regardless of the issue. I understand it says 'exercise' but
Unless your dying and get the doctor to personally speak to this horrible company the answer is NO.

Disgusting cowboys.
