Although this two day course was helpful in respect to having my eyes opened to new opportunities. Don’t be fooled, It’s very much a two day sales pitch. After receiving a welcome pack which gives you all of their courses, prices and options of learning, this course only seemed to focus on pushing (and I mean pushing) their most expensive one. Not only do they push it hard, they offer a large discount during the two day course, making you believe that you’re getting a great deal - without explaining how or why they can reduce the course from £22k to £15k. They talk about due diligence when making deals in property, but they don’t allow you time to do your due diligence when dropping £15k of your own savings, or even worse encouraging you to get into debt to fund it. (And yes, my success executive suggested that “previous students have looked to their bank for a personal loan to fund the academy”) When asking detailed questions during the two days, we were simply met with “don’t get bogged down in the details, think big picture” - sorry guys, I want to do some due diligence here! Ultimately, if they really wanted to help and educate us, they would hear the concerns of the people that can’t drop £15k spontaneously, and offered cheaper more affordable options that they clearly offer in the welcome pack, but their job is to push their big ticket option only. There may be something to learn from this academy, but it’ll cost you a lot of money to delve into it properly. Be warned, if you want your £99 refunded from not getting enough value from the two days, you must tell them before starting day two otherwise you’re not entitled to it.
