Review of Get-Licensed.co.uk | UK's Number 1 Security Training Network from 25 April 2013

Being 11 years in London, and having dealt with many organizations/companies and public services, Get-Licensed sets a new low for customer service. Probably the worst company I have ever dealt with and no-one in the company knows what is going on. My exam got cancelled 3 times. And the correspondence from them was a joke. There are much better training providers out there. Do you research and stay away from this company. So many people I spoke to were appalled by Get-licensed.

Dear Drew11,
I sincerely apologise for the experience you have had using our booking service. At Get Licensed we love our customers, and there are occasions when our customers become upset. I personally take full responsibility and will explore why the training provider cancelled the exam.
May I request you to please send me via email on shahab@get-licensed.co.uk your course / training provider details in an email I will resolve this matter within 24 hours.
Once again, I am more upset that you are about this and I promise to resolve this matter asap.
Sincerely,
Shahab Ali

Never thought that as a female I would enjoy a security training - But seriously was proved wrong last week. Very Informative and enjoyable training, I don't even know how and when the four days ended. Already recommended my friends to book a course and got it discounted too :D

Had a good experience with Get Licensed. Got what I expected and was good value for money. Some of the negative reviews look like guys who didn't pass their exams getting p!ssed off and blaming the trainer. Nothing wrong with the training and the exams are challenging but easily passable if you know what you're doing. Would definitely recommend Get Licensed.

I did loads of research before booking with Get Licensed. Theres alot of options but I ended up going with them because of their good reputation and the fact that they are clearly the biggest in the business (must be for a good reason). I wasnt dissappointed. Great course, good venue and no problems passing my exams. Ive also booked onto the advanced physical intervention because the stuff the SIA makes you learn is pretty basic. Id like to have a few more skills to rely on if I needed them!

Challenging. Entertaining. Informative. Three words that best describes the training that I got from Get Licensed. Their service was impeccable. I was phoned by customer service before and after my training date to see if I was happy and if I had any questions. I doubt you would get that from any other training provider Ive seen. The instructor was very entertaining, no dull moments!

Booked my training during the last week of August. Original date was rescheduled but was informed beforehand. Disappointed but after training, it was worth the wait. I passed my exams first time. The customer service was very good, I got phone calls, text messages and email with all the course info before the day. Very helpful.

I signed up with Get Licensed based on recommendation from a friend in the industry. He told me that I will get my money's worth and that I will pass the exams first time because of the quality of training. He was right on both. Get Licensed will defnitely be recommended by me.

Review of Get-Licensed.co.uk | UK's Number 1 Security Training Network from 12 December 2012

Just completed my SIA DS Course on Sunday in Portsmouth. Im a former doorman and gave up just as SIA came into legislation, how things have changed! Good experience so far, called and booked, got a discount, email confirmation of receipt, booking, e learning requirements etc within minutes. Nice venue, Hilton Hotel. Awesome trainer, Davey Elder, very entertaining, easy to get on with and learn from, spiced up things with entertaining stories and videos to go with the syllabus. Completion of the course requires 4 long days inc saturday and sunday in our case but all bases were covered and while im vastly experienced i feel better knowing current law and legislation. Only gripe is the PI is very limited due to the dreamland the SIA seem to live in, have none of them worked on the door before?? just waiting for my exam results now and have work waiting pending these so thank you guys! a big thank you to Sad and Abbas who came and did some PI and invigilating on the last day and were funny and informative as well. all in all a great experience from start to finish. just dont delay my results guys... :)

I paid to do my Door Supervisor training with another company who ripped me off. Took my money but never ran the course, still waiting for a refund. I would definitely recommend Get Licensed for those people who want a trustworthy company to do their training. Helped me a lot. Thanks!

Review of Get-Licensed.co.uk | UK's Number 1 Security Training Network from 11 December 2012

The venue was comfortable for the number of attendees, there was enough room for everybody to move around however the parking sucks big time. Hell, it was expensive.

Our trainer was really helpful and very accommodating. He answered every question that we raised and gave clear instructions. He even shared with us a handful of experiences that gave us a better picture of what it IS REALLY LIKE to be a door supervisor.

Not the cheapest but I don’t think it’s that bad. I mean, compared to other companies who offer the same training, I believe that Get Licensed does not offer their prices too low or too high. But when you consider the great experiences that you get from the DS Course, you can say that their price is cheap!

Results – it took 2 weeks to get the results. But heck, who cares? As long as I pass it, I don’t care if it takes a month! (but not more than that).

Recommendations – overall great experience but perhaps you can start hiring more people to answer your phone. Didn’t like waiting on hold.

I was the only female in the class so I was unsure about how the training would go. As soon as our instructor started the training, I immediately felt accommodated and the other guys in the class all turned out to be awesome! The instructor was very supportive and helped me with courses that I find difficulty with (particularly physical intervention). Just waiting for my results and hopefully I’ll be applying for my licence soon. Get Licensed will definitely get recommended by me.

I signed up for a DS Training course with Get Licensed, didn’t quite know what to expect. But as soon as the training started, I was very impressed! Our instructor was very knowledgeable, very accommodating and a very funny guy as well. For what you get I thought the price was spot on. Got my results after 4 days too!

As far as I can recall my first experience with get-licensed was excellent and very informative ! But a month back I got a call informing me that I have to go though 1 day training again or SIA will cancel my license. I was really upset but after meeting my trainer and going though the retraining, honestly it was good to go though it again. It was more of a 'refresher course' for me plus better when its free ! Cheers !

Hi vk_665
I would like to answer all your concerns and guide you in the right direction.
Firstly if you are not satisfied with your results please follow the Training Center/Awarding Body’s appeals procedure. We do not check or mark your exam papers. Secondly please refrain from making any statements or claims you are unable to substantiate such as the one involving any exchange of money for helping in exams.
We do not force anyone to buy a first aid course from us. However we do inform candidates that having First Aid does help them and it is useful. It also makes you more employable as compared to having only a badge. I will ignore your choice of words as we do not make “make people fool”; Door Supervisors equipped with First Aid knowledge are more in demand than only badge holders.
If you still have any suggestions or feedback or like any help with your appeal please contact us at www.get-licensed.co.uk and follow the support link.
Regards
Shahab Ali

Review of Get-Licensed.co.uk | UK's Number 1 Security Training Network from 20 November 2012

Get Licensed informed me that I had to attend the one day physical intervention course because the previous one was found to have some issues by the SIA. At first I was not very happy with that but then I met their trainer Abbz on the one day course and he was really helpful and explained the situation to me in detail. The course itself was delivered without any malpractice or cheating but the Get Licensed training organisations, which they actually outsource to other companies, had not called in extra trainers for the Physical module. That training organisation actually closed down a while ago but get Licensed decided to retrain all affected candidates for free. I know this all sounds like jungle but the way the trainer explained this was very efficient. The SIA in fact contacted me later than Get Licensed so yea good work with that.

I am not entirely happy for being called in for re-training as I had to take time off work but considering Get Licensed at least had the courtesy to amend and fix things is commendable. When I got the SIA's letter that my PI was voided I thought I would have to now pay for something. However it was free even though the awarding body told me to get the training done from other training company. They should have pointed me towards Get Licensed from the start rather than wasting my time.

Get Licensed called me 2 weeks ago to tell me that I needed to redo my Physical Intervention training. I did my original training in Dec 2010. They booked me in for a one day training refresher which was actually great. It amazing how much you forget having done the training 2 years ago! The retraining was free and I now have my new certificate.

Malpractice is malpractice now matter how much you try to diminish the significance of being caught. Of course the training is for free, otherwise you would be taken to the small claims court for compensation. I wonder how many people of the 654 you let down are thrilled at having to attend another one of your classes or lose their license! What a lot of unecessary stress!
si786, 19 November 2012:
Blah Blah Blah…for christs sake sed48 change the record mate. You are beginning to sound like my granny, god rest her soul.
Have you actually done a training course with these guys? Are you a sour faced ex employee? Or maybe a hard up training provider jealous you got no customers, not surprised with that attitude.
I did my original course with a cowboy company who finished the course in 1.5 days! yes 1.5 days!!!, THAT is malpractice. I did my course again through Get Licensed in Birmingham and the training was impeccable! The trainer was shit hot, and I mean shit HOT, because of my previous experience I printed off exactly what the curriculum was supposed to be to see if anything was missed, she followed it to a T and SOME!!!.
Training, career advice,employment leads, you name it, we got it, so once again
change the record, nobody wants to hear you grunts anymore, as far as I am concerned, they are doing a damn good job, and SOME!!!
Nelsonlovesbeatles, 19 November 2012:
I am sick of people like you sed48. Why can’t you guide people to the solution to go for the free retraining with Get Licensed? Let me guess its because you probably want a piece of the cake. And if you have done the course with them and want to take them to court then do that if you have nothing else to do.
I agree with you si786 I am glad I took the course with Get Licensed. End of the day if this whole situation was caused by a small company, they would have been out and I would have had to pay for my training again. To all those who have been contacted for retraining, go for it its free.
