"I have done 2 courses with Babington"

I have done 2 courses with Babington. Level 2 customer service ( 2020 ) was virtually delivered by Nicolette Aydn and that was a fantastic teacher. The sessions were highly interactive and she was accessible anytime if needed help.
In 2021, I also enrolled into Level 2 Digital Skills for Work which was completely online. I got adequate information and support from my assigned tutor. Even when I needed to demonstrate certain skill via a recorded video with my boss, she volunteered to act as my boss since I was unemployed then.

However, last month I made enquiries about a Bootcamp program and I got instant response to join the information, guidance and advice session but the follow up from then onward was poor. I got a missed call and the caller left a message for me to call her back which I did several times without response from her. I sent emails but never bothered to reply. Another one texted me and I called back no response, I left her voice message and also sent email no reply. Thanks to Jane Lord who called me later and answered my queries.

"I would not give even a star if it was…"

I would not give even a star if it was after me. Bad comunication, nasty unproffesional guys. My opinion, this is a big scam, to take money from the gouvern without offering any service. Waiste of time, and nerves. They get me so angry in the last few weeks in which i am trying like insane to register and start a course with them. I will never recomand them to anyone, just to mention that it is better to avoid them. Thanks y'all

"Very poor communication"

Done a 2 and a half week course to be guaranteed an interview after. I've had no contact of being offered the interview, I've emailed various people to see what's going on and they can't be bothered to reply. It's a shame because the course was good but the after service is shocking.

"Awful communication"

Awful communication, tutor didnt care, took nearly 2 weeks to reply to my email. No positive feedback when i did get it, was always negative. Asked to change tutors twice and was ignored. One tutor told me the pass mark was 60% another said 70%. Wish i done my maths functional skills with another college. such a waste of time, they actually didn't even book me in for my exam so im guessing they recieved the funding for enrolling me and wasn't bothered to actually help me pass. The only positive thing about the course was Mark Frankland, he was a fantastic teacher, its a shame i couldn't of had him throughout my course.

"Wast of time"

Wast of time
Some of the tutors are joke. Marking mock papers wrongly, then saying can go and sit exam and after multiple fails send me an email saying “good luck in the future you are removed “. It’s like a scam. Said after sitting exam we will let you know in 6 working days how it’s went, if I don’t message they wouldn’t bother themselves to send results.
They only staff who’s really good and helpful is Mark, the rest is a joke.
Avoid this and don’t wast your time

"Waste of money - you have been warned"

I enrolled onto Level 3 Accounting course with Babington. Customer advisors on chats and my tutor repeatedly confirmed that I would be able to sit my exam in their Manchester based centre, and now after 3 months they say that it is actually not possible at all and that I have to do my exams remotely (which is not a suitable option for me) or go to another college and pay for my exams double or triple of what would it have costed me if I had my exam with Babington (as promised before). So I am not able to have my exam at their centre as they promised when enrolling. I paid £740 for the course, received few paper books through the post (which can be normally bought at any shop anyway), and their online learning website which is just saying "read chapter 1 in your paper book, then read chapter 2, then read chapter 3"... Useless "learning" website. Then I do a little interactive activity on their website which does not sufficiently test my knowledge on what I had learnt. Their revision kits are full of mistakes so it is also useless, not good quality. Only few learning videos available, like 3-minutes long. Not enough learning videos. They do not have their own learning material. Honestly, you'll be better off learning from Youtube accounting channels, and it's for free. I absolutely do not recommend this "college". You can study at home without having to pay someone to tell you to read chapter 1 then chapter 2, and then book an exam yourself somewhere at a local non-Babington test centre (which is what Babington just asked me to do anyway! It will save you lot of money and nerves. I have no idea for what did I pay those £740... I want my money back. Dodgy company. Avoid.
