I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at The Training Room in Jan 2022
Interview
They post advertisements recruiting positions for varying roles with good salaries shown, then once you talk to them they tell you that they want you to pay £2,500 to them for training and "qualification", which isnt even recognised by most development companies. No job guarantee at the end, just a scam

Question 1
They ask if you are happy to train under them and pay them money for training.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Training Room (Paisley, Scotland) in May 2021
Interview
There was a very aggressive sales pitch , immediate demanding of a sign up registration fee £10 on phone and £50 on website. They then either wanted a £1.6 k fee paid all at once for the course or £2.2 k at £60 a month from September. Given course is 400hrs it seems unlikely you'll be finished by then.
When challenged on course content the interview got quite hostile and kept emphasising how id get a job however no context to this was given. No salary range nor titles discussed.
They did promise alot of support however as soon a I expressed concern they tried to shut down my questions by talking over me .
The phone call was 30 min in which I maybe talked for 2min . Im not familiar with IT programmes but it seemed like a rather aggressive tactic.
Finally when I mentioned poor reviews on the internet the interviewer was very shaken and started to trash talk people who give these reviews and pushed me towards their own site and feebo where I haven't seen anything less than 5 stars , a major red flag.
After I expressed intrest in reviewing their creditability with friend in the industry they were very dismissive of me and couldn't hang up the phone fast enough. Post phone call I had 3 separate emails about the programme.
For those interested the friend in industry had not heard about them and recommended staying clear.

Question 1
Will you be paying the money up front? (seriously it was their only concern)
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at The Training Room (Poole, England) in Mar 2017
Interview
It was fairly laid back, I was overdressed in a suit. Got shown the company and offices. It was a good balance between what I can offer and what they are looking for and can offer in return.

Question 1
If a turtle was upside down in the .... no, not really. It was mainly about me and my passions and why I like to teach etc.
