My company sourced Focus-On-Training to provide the BCS Data Partitioners course for me and the…read moreexperience hasn't been good to say the least. When I was asked initially to review their website, I saw that it was out of date - They listed the old style exam (This had changed about 6 months previously). I had to get my training department to confirm that it was the new style exam to which they did and then they updated the website. They proceeded to send the details through for the foundation course instead of the practitioners course - Again not very professional and combined with their outdated website I wasn't impressed. However my company had chosen them so I had to proceeded. They outsourced the training to Cyber Skills Training Limited - I don't know what checks they do on their sub-providers but needless to say this didn't end well. The trainer provided by Cyber-Skills in my opinion wasn't knowledgeable enough to teach the course. He read the slides out verbatim most of the time and added no value. Not enough time was spent on topics - other training providers state the data practitioners course is 5 long days of learning. With this trainer we finished at 3.40pm as we had already covered half of day two's content. This level of speed is reflected if you just read the slides and not add any context to the topic. Two people pulled out by lunchtime on the first day and then the course was cancelled before the start of day 2. The initial care shown and mistakes made by Focus on training in my opinion is reflected on their choice of training providers - The is probably very little quality checks done to ensure the customer is getting a quality service as I suspect this is money for them to take the booking and let someone else do the work. I invested a lot of time to get the week off to do the course and to be in the situation I am in now is not acceptable.

The staff at Focus are really helpful. They give me all the information I need so I can make my own mind up if the course is going to be right for me.

What an utterly depressing establishment! When I signed up for a course I was raring to go, but…read moreonce I arrived I could not believe how tatty and shabby this place is! I feel sorry for the full time students that attend the collage; I can't imagine that the surroundings themselves are very inspiring! I wasn't expecting high tech sleek class glass and chrome surroundings like the new Kettering facility but I was hoping for a clean surrounding that were not dirty and broken! However despite the dilapidated building the courses available were very good with a very good selection. The tutors generally seem very good and very helpful and so do the support staff.

The different colleges have great character, except my dorm room looked like it was the same since the 14th C when it was first built. My friends room was nice and modern, I guess I lucked out. The dining common food was okay, it definitely lacked taste on some nights, but it may be because I ordered vegetarian meals every night. Most of the dining halls are harry potter-esque, seeing as how it was filmed in the vicinity. Love this place, love the countryside, I would live in the UK if I could.
