I trained with the delightfull company called property profesionales,London they conned me along with many others before going bust. Nice.I to was told of jobs at the end of training and how a change of govenment would make no diffrance, and how much i could make, utter lies. thankfully i only signed for half the course (5k) some did the full course at 10k ! Getting anything back has proved impossible, and nothing has ever been said of this govenment backed rip off!! A very painfull and expensive experiance.

I am with everyone trying to claim back any funds here. I am just coming to the end of the loan I took out to pay for this; not to mention lost time & additional costs. There must be something we can all do. It was on booking my final exam I found out. Company was Manchester!!

I got to module 5 at a training centre in manchester and fell ill and have been unable to continue and lost heart after seeing what a con the whole thing is, this was back in 2008 and after reading some of your comments on here i think it is awful and aparently one of the directors of the training centre i went to was a labour mp and we were told that their was contractual work on qualifying .
i lost about 9000 with travel hotels ect at least and will support any action on people trying to get money back

regards Carl

I fell into the trap as well, they said that theyr were only taking on people who they felt could pass the course and do the job!!! What a load of #$%^. I paid by debit card, does anyone know if I can get my money back? If you do could you please let me know as I would like to get my 7500 pounds back so I can put it to good use. If not what else could I do? Is there a group I can join?

This whole process is typical of government mismanagement and incompetence. Thousands of people have spent up to twelve grand on these training courses and would have been better off putting the money on a horse. The government must now compensate all these victims not just for the money lost on the training schemes; but for loss of earnings since. All these ‘qualified’ inspecters were supposed to be earning over £35,000, p.a.minimum. The whole thing is quite immoral.

Mondo, Don’t do it, you will never get your money back, the franchise is a total con. If there was any mileage whatsoever in this market it has long been taken over by the total oversupply.

I completed the course about 3 years ago but never submitted my portfolio although completed my final exams. I have put it behind me now as the u turn was made during my training so i couldnt have forseen what was going to happen. The money I lost however still rankles as I feel I was duped and the government was responsible, there was alot of bad feeling back then and alot of talk about action, but has anyone achieved a successfull legal settlement with the government?
