I’ve just been forwarded to this page by a concerned family member. I’ve actually got this course ‘advisor’ coming over in about an hour. I think now i might just ignore it.

Is there anyway out? and cancel the loan. After reading all these comments and a few other websites. Alot are slagging off this course. Is it a scam? How can i recover what ive spent?

Well I just wanted information about the course that was all, but a month later i got a call and telling me that someone is in the area to see me.

Wednesday came and took nearly 2-3 hours my god it was soo long my sister was in the other room listening to us.

Did a test which he marked and said i got 16/18 right and said that he was suprised…. I am a gamer… o.O The test was easy, im not retarded.

He asked me what i wanted in the future and i told him and that i wanted to move to Leeds and much to my suprise Leeds is the capital of the gaming industry (true or not i dunno). So now i was getting excited that the place i wanted to move was an even more of a reason to move there.

Then there was payment he “rang” to see if i was eligible for help with the payment of the £4960 course…. apparently i wasnt but i was still pumped that i was gonna do something i love i stupidly handed over my bank details.

2 weeks passed now still no info on my login details so i rang the CDF telling them id like to cancel so she said like a zombie that i have to send a letter to say it.

Good job i decided to cancel because the 3 weeks i would of have to wait for my login details would mean that i the dead line for canceling…. guess what 3 weeks so whether this course is legit or what. But i aint taking chances.

I just had a pleb from train2game do the sales pitch on me and went through the whole ‘assessment’ problem was I’m an experience person in IT with 13 years background of running projects and support, web design and 3 years of e-Communications experience. It was obvious on the hard sell front but I had no idea it was part of skills train, frakking stupid if you ask me.

When it came to money and him asking me for bank details I laughed and told him I’m not giving anyone my details who I don’t know, shortly after the ‘assessment’ ended, what a prat but at least I was savvy enough to search online and not hand over financial details.

Don’t go near these people, I wanted to see if they were genuine, they’re clearly not. A shame as the gaming industry needs more ways for people to get involved, just don’t use these muppets…

Perhaps the next time one of their reps says about the great employment opportunities from the course they could be asked why is it that DR Studios have just made some people redundant http://www.develop-online.net/news/33761/Redundancies-at-DR-Studios

Well, I had my meeting. The chap was a bit rude…repeatedly – kept talking over me and my gf – and he was talking about…how other industries have too many workers…

He ‘phoned a friend’ – supposedly a current student to get them to talk to me about the course…

He threw a mini strop when I said that I didn’t think it wise to sign anything or give my bank details etc, saying ‘all this is pointless then’ – I pointed out that all I’d asked for was info when I called up…

Anyway, he was rude one too many times and I finally said I’d had enough of being spoken to like that and he should get out of my house…marched to the front door…he just stayed and talked to my gf! lol came back and finally got him out.
Hmm.
What a way to run a business! The irony is I might have signed up with them down the road, but now I know about the high pressure stuff that goes on I’m afraid it’s a no-go.

For all I know, this could be a great course. But…I have learned to trust my instincts and have a bad feeling about train2game after meeting this guy.

Weird thing, he was trying to steer me onto the devs course, which I might have gone for, so I asked him to leave info (this is before I threw him out) but he seemed unwilling to leave any info…the course speel looks expensively printed so this is probably it, but again, not wise, surely to deny potential customers information.

lol, another thing: he corrected my girlfriend – he wasn’t trying to sell a product, he was ASSESSING me. Uh huh. Ok buddy. Cheerio.

I’ve got one of their reps coming round to see me and my girlfriend in a bit. After reading up, I’m inclined to steer clear – at least untill I find some more material…

Thanks for the post.
