    Did you have to sign-up as (or pretend to be) a business? If not then they're breaking the law ... unless their T&Cs also say that by subscribing then the "service" begins immediately which would waive cancellation rights.

    The devil is in the detail.

    Bottom line though - you could try a chargeback with your bank/card provider, but the seller could dispute it.

    What date is the test you booked for?
    Their T&Cs say if there is more than 4 days notice before the test you can reschedule without charge or cancel for a full refund less an admin fee of £20.
    Why did you choose to use them at all though? They don't actually run any tests themselves, they are just a re-selling agency. Lots of complaints that they charge up to 3x what the course provider charges you to book directly.
  • yup my mistake, Im new to this and went to the wrong website link I got sent  but they wont give me a refund.
    They are awful Ive registered a complaint with the CSCS as well 
  • Hateful people to deal with  Construction Certificate beware they are  awful
