    it's a scam - avoid it.

    from their website ..
    There is a one-off non-refundable registration fee of £20!to cover the costs of the training materials and is inclusive of all processing and guidance costs. To keep the fee as low as possible this entire package is delivered online and we can provide ongoing email support and information throughout your time with us.

    Once your payment for the training materials has been received you will be given immediate access to all the information you need to start working from home today! (Please allow up to 12 hours for delivery of Training Manuals)

    based on my experience, the "training materials" will simply tell you to advertise the same thing elsewhere and sell someone else the "training materials" for £20 quid as well ..

    always follow the simple rule of thumb.

    Are they a "work from home" company ?

    Do they want money up front ?

    If the answer to both is "yes" then they are 100% a scam.

    Spot on - that's exactly how it works: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3156084

    Same scam has been around for ages - in the olden days (before the internet) scammers placed classified ads in newspapers saying the same thing and when you sent your £5 or whatever all you got was a leaflet telling you to place classified ads just like the one you replied to!
