“I recently spoke to two guys on the 02034573827 number. I was interested in the AAT 1 Course.They soon began trying to pressure sell there £600 Level 2 on me! Their add starts at £160 then goes up & up to £250. They also failed to tell me honestly about a extra £80 for a exam (only 1 attempt) Then it gets worse i call AAT themselves & find out it is not online! All exams have been suspended! I am disgusted they are working from home still trying to sell Online courses you can't complete COVID 19 & this course is free at my local college once it opens again!”
“I purchased a course on line just before Christmas. I di not receive my log-in details so I contacted Reed on January 13th and was told I would have them within 48 hours. They did not come. I requested them again... nothing so I phoned the course provider on the morning of January 18th and they who promised to send them by 3pm. Still nothing. Reed only respond (if they respond at all) with automated emails and the course provider has not contacted me at all and soI have no confidence in Reed or that the course will be well managed. They may be good at other aspects of recruitment but I would certainly avoid them for training courses.”
“Fraud all reed does take your money forward you some companies and they rob you more.
Paid 70 pounds plus more to course gate thief's. Because I write review they not posting my certificate jokes. Soon be pandemic over and il be visiting your office”
“I booked and paid for a Hygiene course 2 weeks ago and still (Despite two complaints directly to the Reed web site!!) have not received log in details for the course which I was advised would take 48 HRS or less!!!”
“Don't Go To REED! I had a very traumatic experience. Reed placed me in a vulnerable position and failed to communicate the specifications of a job I accepted. I only accepted on the basis that I would gain detailed information. I was placed in a specialist provision unit which deals with severe cases. I was abused, punched and kicked by pupils, a role I wasn't trained for. Reed apologized as they admitted their lack in sufficient information or protection over me as an employee. They did not protect me or care about my safety. DO NOT TRUST”
“I had the worst ever experience with Reed. Different consultants telling me different things. Telling me all things are set for me to start my new job on Monday after constant phone calls someone finally tells me I’m not starting on Monday. I had handed my notice in for my current job at the time because I was initially told everything is set for Monday to then be told I’m not starting. Then I receive a phone call on Monday morning asking if I can start the following morning after a few no shows. I agree to start and was told by the consultant that I will receive confirmation via email which I didn’t. After calling the Leeds office a number of times finally at about 5pm Someone answers to tell me I won’t be starting the next day. This was very unfair on me and I was left jobless due to there lack of communication amongst one another.”
“Bought a course off Reed by skills up. Couldn't access the course, no sound appalling quality. Asked for a refund. Told I couldn't get a refund but they'd be happy to exchange for another course. I asked for an alternative and they gave me a course with no video and just worksheets. This is the free course given out with the first one that was useless. Now they won't contact me to discuss. Avoid!”
“I'm open minded about this company and Indeed as well as Monster. I mean, come on! who calls they're job site 'Monster ???
I've applied for several jobs in security on all these sites and never hear anything back. I got 35 yrs security experience and hold a licence as well as many certificates in my career as well as a resume and explanatory cv. I've not heard off no one. Total waste of my time and effort for nothing. If you really want to find a good job, then I strongly recommend you to write to the companies your interested in asking if they have any positions available or at least to keep uour resume, cv on file in case a position arises in the foreseeable future. Failing that, then visit your local job centre or go on they're own personal website. Forget these so called job sites I have mentioned above including Reed. Total waste of time.”
“I'm registered with Reeds Accountancy for 15 years and always receive application refusals. I'm qualified ACCA accountant with an extensive experience in financial and management accounting also have experience in the tax planning. I'm finding Reeds so rigid abd only one response since last 15 years. Just waste of time. They don't arrange interviews with the potential employers. And also Reeds don't provide any feedback that why the application has been rejected.”
“online courses provided by their partner learning curve are advertised as free, they are not necessarily free, you require to be eligible for unspecified funding otherwise they have a cost, this information is not visible on the reed website, may be a data harvesting scam or at least poor advertising.”
“It's such a scam and they don't even refund it, after waiting for 5 days for the money to be refunded I tried to contact them but my emails are not getting delivered to them”
“The online course was a pain in the ass to keep getting back onto. Wouldnt accept password and had to keep emailing them and asking wtf .. They said the certificate was free.,hard copy or PDF which is a total lie . It isnt . Dont sa iits free when it isnt. Big no from me wouldnt recommend to anyone. Now they are wanting £21.99 for the PDF or £35 print out copy of certificate..really...wtf”
“Do not purchase courses with them ,i purchased 2 and got nothing, still waiting course owners to send me log in details, they dont answer emails and read.co will never refund you. Scammers”
“Completely useless. Staff often not vetted much at all, judging by the way they employ someone who thinks least is spelt list... and doesn't know how e mails work either.... that person is actually OK, just not trained to know anything whatsoever... I feel really sorry for that person, doing more than they ever expected just to try to help me, but I'm sure while the Co workers want to be decent, the big bosses don't. Heard they got done for tax evasion.”
“I would like to thank Sarah at Reed in Epsom for her time and help in finding me a position after a long career break within days of contacting her. She is always very supportive and prompt in keeping you updated. She is absolutely brilliant and has never disappointed me a position. I highly recommend her.”
“Terrible company, signed me up for a contract and completely miss sold and lied to me, told them I wasn’t happy and there attitude was we don’t care your in a contract, adverts producing zero applications on 35 jobs and CV’s of engineers and accountants with there job as a warehouse operative to make it look like they have more CV’s than they actually do! Most CV’s dead and old numbers, duplicate CV’s say that have millions of CV’s when most are made up and don’t work to steal your money when signing up. Honestly CV library are cheaper and far better”
“Ordered a first aid course for two of my staff a month ago. Still no course details sent despite me chasing Reed and the supplier. Reed now say that the refund is at the option of the supplier who have not satisfied their end of the arrangement.”
“SCAMMERS,I NEED MY MONEY BACK YOU THEIVES, IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU REMOVED MONEY FROM MY ACCOUNT ,YOU SAID I HAD NOT PURCHASED ,YET YOU DEDUCTED THE MONEY FOR 4 COURSES,I NEED MY MONEY ,WWW.REED.CO.UK,YOU SCAMMERS.”
“In spite of payment for paid courses, The Course Completion Certificates from REED contains neither signature nor certificate number on it...... then what is the use of gaining that certificate.... any credibility for the certificate !!!”
