SCCD Training Recenzje 

Last year I finished my Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training at SCCD and I had a good experience with them. They were supportive and helpful through my journey.

After failed serval interviews at many schools, I started my teacher’s training at SCCD on a DET Level 5 course, which is leading to a QTLS teaching qualification. In this course, I have been trained about safe guarding, curriculum frameworks, and teaching theory and principles, which are so beneficial, and actually, I realised these contents are the answers that the interviewer was looking for. My lecturer Mr. Colgrave is always here and providing his profession and supervision. I am a Chinese, and English is my second language, Mr. Colgrave and Mrs. Alexis gave me all the support and help with my academic learning during my training. Now, I am on my final stage, SCCD found a secondary school for me to do my work placement. The school staffs here are qualified and very supportive. Faithfully, I would like to say, without SCCD, I could not knock and get into the teaching environment. For my peers, or anyone wants to start with SCCD, I just say, work hard, persevere, be resilient, and follow your lecturer, you will be a qualified teacher, and the dream will become true. This is my own life changing experience.

AVOID this FRAUDULENT DISCRIMINATIVE DISHONEST MANIPULATIVE company.
The head of Placement, is extremely rude and abusive, saying that students are not clever enough to speak English and understand anything (Students have BA Hons in English, MA in English, having Distinctions and Merits in English Exams). She is arrogant and manipulative.

Although SCCD requested the list of schools local to me for Placement Package Only, the placement department never contacted these schools and failed to provide evidence that they had done.

Knowing my mobility issues, the Head of placement sent me for a placement to a school within 2 hours commute from me, which breached the Initial contract with me and their promise of a GUARANTEED PLACEMENT, and Equality Act 2014.

She also informed me about this placement by an email at 8 pm ON FRIDAY EVENING! Her email stated that I was supposed to accept this offer by 5 pm on Monday. I responded TWICE with separate emails at 10 am and at 12:06 pm, five hours BEFORE the deadline. However, she ignored those TWO emails. Instead, she wrote to me that 'since I failed to accept this Placement which took them SO hard to find, they consider their obligations for £600 to be fulfilled; hence they take my £600 and leave me with nothing.

I called SCCD and allowed that woman to begin. She was irrelevant, saying how hard they worked to find this rare Placement and how I lost my chance!!! She blamed me for not responding. Then I stopped her politely on that and requested:
1. to provide me with evidence communicating to schools from MY list
2. to provide me with the evidence of how she addressed the Equality Act 2014 and Consumers Rights Act 2015
3. to provide me with the evidence that my responses to the placement emails didn't reach her account.

She went quiet and blocked my SCCD email account, went into it, moved my emails from the bin to inbox, went through it, then she allowed me access to my email and student's account again.

Thanks to me forwarding every communication to any of the SCCD email accounts to my external email, they saw that I had ALL the evidence of their FRAUDULENT AND MANIPULATIVE ACTIVITY. She came back to me offering the refund, which I received today.

Since this SCCD practice is BELOW ANY standards: they don't organise placements as they promised, they are very rude, they didn't send me a Greavance Procedure, they don't respond to Official Complains emails, after having agreed to issue a refund they keep sending me texts informing me about my NEW Student ID, and requested a passport size photo. Why?

I am taking the case further.
Avoid this FRAUDULENT COMPANY!!! They have now requested to remove the name of that person from the review. So, she must be ashamed of what she did not only to me, but to many others. Check their other platforms pages and AVOID them.

Absolutely TERRIBLE company and service provided.NEVER use it for any services.In July I paid £600 for the placement package only.The company promised to secure my placement in September.However it’s November now and still no placement.The Head of Education who is the same person as a Placement Coordinator is extremely rude woman,shouting at students over the phone and sending rude texts.I have found out recently that in 2009 she was involved in a racist incident while teaching at school calling one of her students ‘a white prostitute’ in front of a class.
She should be banned from education.The communication service is very poor-many of my emails were completely ignored or answered in a very abusive way.The company messed up my DBS check,putting the wrong details and application was rejected.They refused to provide refund for it.The company didn’t fulfil its obligations, didn’t provide me with a placement, clearly breached Consumers Rights Act 2015,took my money for service which was not provided and refused to provide a refund.I am currently taking a legal action against them to claim my refund from court.
