I'm in the same boat.

On the gas course paying £160.00 a month.

I first got suspicious when I could not pass the online health and safety assignment.

I have a background in health and safety and wrote to them asking for the correct answers

to which they replied, it is a totally computer generated test to which we have no access.

I was then sent a written assignment which I found completely excessive, 9000 words NEBOSH ask for 8000 for their diploma .

I believe this part of the course to be a delaying tactic.

I was told be the sales person that they had a list of companies which provide practical training.

I contacted head office who put me onto the training team who have stated

"we do not have companies we can refer you to as we are a training company".

Carrying out searches for practical training and writing to companies have proved useless.

I don't thing anyone will provide training.
