    Here are some reviews about Computeach on Ciao, most are pretty negative

    What type course would you like to do?
  • I had them around a few years ago to give me some more details about their product. Turned out I had lots of waffle and the hard sell and the total cost would have been about £5k. You can probably guess that I didn't take them up on their kind offer.
  • I did a programming course with them 15 years ago. A lot of hard sell with no job at the end. I really wasnt impressed at all. They may have changed since then but i would be wary of parting with several thousand pounds!

    Try https://www.ctcollege.co.uk a mate of mine used them and said they were good
  • Just watch one of their TV adverts on daytime TV, starting salary 30K and company car? Alas, a fantasy for the majority of their students.

    Much better to spend your money on a relevant course at your local FE College, and paying for certification exams yourself. You'll certainly save a packet and probably have an equal or better chance of finding a junior role to get the all important relevant commerical experience (but probably not at £30K).

    It should also be stated that the IT industry views these outfits with more than a bit of scepticism. At the end of the day, a candidate with demostratable and relevant commercial experience will generally be viewed more favourably than somebody with an IT retraining company qualification and limited exposure.
