!!!BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY !!!

🚫BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY! 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻🙅🏼‍♂️❌

You only need to take one look at their Trust Pilot Review Status to see that this company are failing to provide a recommendable
service .

I called this company by telephone looking to take a CSCS test , before paying for the test I specifically asked if they could send me the course details by text message , because I knew at the time that I would be unable to access my emails for 4 days . The Right Online Course Company said yes we can send the details by mobile text message , so I went ahead and payed for the test based upon this factor ….However ROCC did not send me the test centre location via mobile text message as I had requested and which they had agreed to do (verbally over the phone ) , and instead they sent me an email with those details attached , which at the time I could not access as I had already pointed out to them prior to paying .
I had no knowledge at the time that ROCC had sent me this email as like I had told them I could not access my emails at the time .

The CSCS test was due to take place within approx 48 hours from making the call to book the test, so I waited for the text from
ROCC regarding the test centre location time etc on my mobile which NEVER arrived .

When I tried to call ROCC to explain their error they were in complete denial and said that they had sent me an email with all the details and that I would have to pay for the course again . This was exactly the point I was trying to make but they wouldn’t listen to me , I had specifically asked not for an email but a mobile text message telling me where the course was due to take place prior to me paying for the course .

At this point I had to get my bank involved to try to get my money back because I thought that I was dealing with a bogus company in ROCC when they wouldn’t take on board what I was saying about their mistake , but since I got my bank involved to attempt to get me refunded (which I’m not actually even sure if I got refunded because my bank needed more information from me which I did not persue),
ROCC are now trying to take me to court in dispute of my attempted refund claim which I never persued …..to try to get even more money out of me for a service they didn’t provide . Aside of this I also received abusive emails from a memeber of their team when I attempted to explain their mistake via email , one of their staff wrote me an email saying :

“you must be a virgin and still live at home with your mother .”

I have noticed that this is not an isolated incident and you only need to read the replies to their other 1 star reviews to see that they repeatedly insult and blame customers who have had a bad experience in trying to use their service .

I only wanted to book a cscs test and now this company are trying to take me to court for hundreds of pounds , over their own errors.
They’ve already taken my money once and I’ve not had a fair chance to sit the test that I paid for , now they’re trying to get more money out of me for what exactly , I have no idea 🤷‍♂️

.….. A truly awful experience , I can only advise people to stay well clear of this company if they are thinking of booking a course or test of any kind .

If I could give a minus 5 stars review , then I would .

As you can see from their reply to my review here this company won’t accept fault and they treat you like an enemy rather than listening to you as a paying customer , they don’t have time to listen or understand their error and they think that they’re still right even though they are completely wrong .

This all boils down to my initial phone call , where I specifically asked before paying for the course if they could send me the course details via mobile text to which they agreed but didn't follow through with. Now they’re making every excuse under the sun and trying to justify themselves , if ROCC had informed me of the test centre location then I wouldn’t have had to try to guess where the test centre was , I actually ended up at their old premises which was an abandoned block of offices with a broken intercom system and no entry at ground level .

I will never use this company again and I advise that others choose to use a different provider too .

Their Trust Pilot Review says it all , it’s absolutely shocking!! I should have checked this before making my booking and handing over money . Making contact with this
company was a mistake from the very beginning 🤦‍♂️. Be warned !!

As addressed in your original complaint in August 2023. Sending a Text with the address is not a normal service we provide and costs us to do so. We took no extra payment for this request.
On every call when booking we always confirm that Emails contain Test date/time/location and to check this prior to your test date to confirm your details are correct, we find it hard to believe that you can google our number to call us but not be able to check your emails within a 3 day time period. We also confirm the address when booking on the phone giving you every oppourtunity to take note of this. The address is also listed on Google where you would have found our number.
We supplied evidence of the text sent via our messaging system to you.
The text was sent on 17/08/2023 for your test on 19/08/2023, as we sent and supplied evidence of the message sent the onus would be on you to call us and confirm this isnt received.

With regards to our email reply to you and other 1* replies.
We will be professional and expect customers to be also- when errors are made we correct them. In your case no error was made and this was shown, you then started abusing staff via email:
"Bunch of ass holes ! "
"You bunch of bandits !! "
"I’ve been speaking to a child regarding my problem"
"😂😂😂that’s the truth , have a good weekend you bunch of ass holes "
"…..muppets !!!"
"ROCC = 💩"
"bunch of clowns "
All of these quotes are from seperate emails you have sent. Plus when not receiving a response further from us you proceeded to email us full stops multiple times every minute.


Due to the administration with your booking, complaint, chargeback, abuse, calling to complain further and responding to this review we and the courts feel a fair service was provided and fees are needed to pay this.

I hope this is enough of a professional response for you. As per your original complaint response before you abused our staff.

ROCC (Or as you know us "Muppet ass hole clowns")

But you didn't though, you bought online from us, got to speak to us, got advise from us... you need to understand the tax implications of paying a subsided fee

Hopefully Omega Red Group wont get such feedback when people go to your suppliers for pricing.

Will you be posting that beans are cheaper in Lidl after you have been to Waitrose?

Wouldn’t use them again

I needed the revision as I was offered an immediate start at a job and had the test the next day. When I purchased the course it was processing for about 4 days before I received the course, so I received it 3 days late didn’t get to use it and still had to pay for it. I tried to email but had no reply.

Hi Jozef, Having checked our emails we have received no email contact from you. Your revision course was purchased outside of office hours and therefore could not be registered until the next working day as agreed to in the Terms and Conditions. I can see that you have not accessed the course since the registration. If you can reply to your confirmation email we can then advise on our refund process to assist you further. Thanks ROCC

Hi Luke, you where not charged, but refunded minus (as per T&Cs) an admin fee. Unfortunately the fees are paid by us to the banks etc as handling charges and refund charges, and we have to pass those on.

I won’t be using these again.

I won’t be using these again.. paid over the odds with it being a 3rd party company. Paid for the corse then had to wait 3 days before i could get access to the booking part . It just says it’s pending. Did the online part then had to wait 10 days for my results so if you fail you’d have to go through the whole waiting process again luckily I passed so 2 weeks later I can apply for my card I’ll be going to a classroom exam next time for my instant results certificate & it’ll be cheaper..also if you need to contact them & I did 3 times it’s a chargeable phone number

Hi Damien,

Booked by Emma so it would have all been explained at the time. We are not a third party we are a training company, we only assist in bookings for the CSCS test.

You wont need to do the course again, as, as you found out this is a qualification exam which lasts a lifetime not a test that expires, and yes we wish covid had never happened so we could deliver in the classroom. Please do not purchase a course in the future it is not needed.

Our main telephone number is an 0845 but you have an email confirmation from us with the Leeds phone number of 01133222969 so you could have used that (all local numbers are listed on our website).

Glad that you have passed, stay safe.

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service, call back was swift and issue resolved by company before I even raised it. Course materials easy to use and a pleasure to deal with

Bad customer service

Say £140 on site but charged £179 id suggest finding a legitimate company these people have really bad customer service and am guessing majority of reviews are staff written so there fake,speaking to someone is no easy task, and guy I spoke to was arrogant, also I personally don't have a learning disability but I reckon they have a zero tolerance towards it with what was said

Update Um me names lee
And I'm sure you just broke some data protection there
Ok first of all I'm a social worker 2nd his details are still logged in on my computer and this comment was up loaded while he was still logged in rather than mine iv no idea why he said it was him when it was me who made the comment so rather then quarrel about this on a review site smash the complaint number on here and let's get this sorted with someone higher then you also misogynist = reflecting or exhibiting ingrained and institutionalised prejudice against women I'm curious as to what that has to do with anything when that subject has never come up and as for calling him a keyboard worrier,that would be me your aiming at,
I'll take that complaint number when your ready

What a shame you tried to hide behind your keyboard Simon Wright email address (SWRIGHT121983). Now claiming to be called "Lee" however confirmed on the phone that you (Simon) wrote this review.

+ Your purchase was for two items not one. Hence the price difference.
+ Your broke the exam rules.
+ You on your second attempt needed a lot of help due to your name change, we made special arrangements for you.

You did not bother telling us anything that was an issue.

Just because you made errors just because you have to wait a little longer for your certificate is not down to us.

If we could give customers stars you would get none.

Clearly a sad little misogynistic basement dweller incel of a "man"
