They are scamming people, and will continue to to scam peeople if they are not reported.  Start reporting them.  I did this worthless course on the 26th of August 2011, whilst on the course I phone A.G.E training to find out if they are finding work and getting interviews for me. Mehraj Choudhury said that I had to physically have the certificates in my hand before they can get me an interview.  Before I paied for the course I said I will only only pay if they can guarantee me an interview. 

Antone Husbands ( He likes to change his name when trying to avoid talking to people on the phone)  said he can definately guarantee an interview for me once I completed the course. I completed the cousre and after 3 weeks I finally recieved my worthless certificates that were sent by 2nd class. I asked for Antone Husbands because remember he had guarateed me an interview, funny enough he was not available.  I have contstanly been phoning specifically asking for Antone husbands, I had phoned 3 times in one day he was either at lunch, in a meeting or not available.  I had come to the conclusion they are running a scam. 

A recuitment agency will NEVER EVER ask for money for a course, employers will provide in-house training.  They will also ask you to come in for an interview. A.G.E training do not intend to invite for an interview niether do they endevour to get you an interview let alone a job. Get your money back by getting legal advice, they need to be stopped and will be stopped.

Who are their clients? have you been to their premises? why are the vital pages on their cheap website under construction?

Watchdog want all people who have been affected by A.G.E training to contact them as soon as possible to get their stories.  I have already contacted them and told them my experience with A.G.E training and  about the scam they are running.

If you have been affeted by A.G.E training report them to 'ACTION FRAUD'

Message to A.G.E trainig:  please respond, I would love to hear what pathetic excuses you will come up with this time

AGE are no more a recruitment agency than they are a credible training company.

AUTHOR: ghbig - (United States of America)

POSTED: Monday, December 19, 2011

AGE Train, A.G.E. Training, AGE Medical or AGE Recruitment...whatever
they may be calling themselves these days, rest assured that this so
called "training company" that "helps" people back into work is nothing
more than a con, a scam, a lie.



They have no jobs and they have no clients. How do I know this? Well I
have applied for over 100 jobs advertised by AGE and have received a
platitude of calls from their so call Consultants and it always ends
the same way a guaranteed interview or job providing my Manuel
Handling and / or First Aid certificates are up to date. My Manuel
Handling and first aid certs are up to date so coupled with my industry
experience I should be certain to secure an interview right? Wrong -
despite the assurances given by AGE staff I have never had an interview
with a potential employer organised by them.



It is my belief that AGE are no more a recruitment agency than they are a credible training company.

Response to complaints

AUTHOR: Director - (United Kingdom)

POSTED: Tuesday, October 25, 2011

I would like to thank everyone for there comments positive and negative.

We are a training and recruitment company, our MAIN aim is to prepare and help candidates to be able to work with in their chosen field. One of the key factors to being able to work within the medical industry is having the right qualifications and certificates.

When we advertise any vacancies we do state all the requirements for the job. Such as First Aid Certificates etc. Once candidates apply to any vacancies we must screen the candidates to reassure they have the qualifications and to reassure any vacancies we forward them to are suitable for them. If the candidate has applied for the vacancy and does not have the correct qualifications even though it is stated on the advertisement we advise them to get them completed.

We do not state that they must complete the training with us, every candidate has the option to go else where or simply not complete it if they do not wish to do so.

If the candidate decides to go ahead with the training with us or else where it does not mean they are guaranteed a job, it means we are able to now start forwarding their CV to potential employers that would be suitable for them.

Once the cv's have been sent it is down to the employer if they wish to contact the candidate and employ the candidate.

If the candidate does not get the vacancy we keep them on file and continue to forward their CV as and when appropriate.

I hope this helps clear up any misunderstanding any one have.

I have attached our full terms and conditions below:

However A.G.E Training will not be liable for students who fail to achieve the desired standards through a lack of application, attendance or learning difficulties.

Cancellations and refunds for short courses

Please be aware that due to the process of booking instructors and ensuring classes will run on schedule we are unable to give any refunds for any cancellations made after 7 days of booking the course, we have a 7 day cooling off period where a 50 administration charge of the full course price will apply. A failure to sign this agreement will not affect the 7 day cooling off period and the level of refund permitted. All refunds are expected to take a minimum of 28 working days to be received. No refunds will be issued if the course is less than 5 working days away. No refunds will be issued if the course is not attended.
