I did the fitness instructors course with them, finished it last summer and i still dont havn'nt received my diploma. When i ring them they told me it was sent by registerd post and when i asked for the tracking number they stopped answering my calls and emails. They will screw u over. It is not just me they have done this to either. So I strongly advise u to do the course with someone else!
I wish I'd seen this way back when I was applying to do the course, I went with ITI (lol, theres nothing "international" or "institutional" about them) and good god, talk about the biggest shower of unorganised **** you'll ever deal with.
The course itself is fine, the girl teaching us the anatomy and physiology aspects and the actual massage practical is great, really knows her stuff so I cant say a bad word about her. But the admin/running of the course is just diabolical. At first we were told we were getting an ITEC qualification, and now we've been told its a VCTC with an "ITI diploma" which is basically not worth the paper its written on.
Calls are unanswered/unreturned, emails are supposedly sent but you never get them, they'll be on you like a fly on sh1t when they want money off you but ask them a question and they'll never get back to you. And its all misleading info, for our exams we are combined with 2 other groups who were doing classes on different days, and all of us were told different things, they couldnt even get the times right for us to attend a workshop so half of us were late. We were told we had to do case studies, 4 people for 4 sessions, all grand, had mine written and printed and they were assessed, now that the qualificaiton has changed its 5 people 5 times, so I have to do a new one and change or add to the previous ones.
We paid for our uniforms back in DECEMBER and still havent gotten them, they were 45 quid I think and they only told us they'd "put through the order" THIS WEEK! I mean FFS I could have just ordered a tunic online and gotten it months ago, or walked into any salon supply store and picked on up.
I wanted to go on to do sports therapy, am doing the holistic massage course as thats needed, I paid the 250 quid deposit for that before Christmas last as I didnt know of the shambles we were getting into, but now theres no way I'll be doing another course with them. So I asked if the cost of the course deposit could be put towards my exams, they said no. Then I asked if I could just put it to a shorter head massage course thats only 2 days, they said yes after much umming and ahhing but then said they wouldnt refund me the difference as the course was 70 quid less than what I'd paid for the deposit. At this stage I dont even care I just want to get this over and done with and never deal with them again.
The organisation of the place is an absolute shambles and its not just our class either, everyone, every single person who's doing a course, theres 4 of us in massage and about 10 in fitness/personal training etc and a few others from other parts of the country with travelling horror stories, being told to attend and class and only being told when they got there they should have brought equipment and towels as it was a practical session when they'd been told it was only revision and case study work etc. and they're all pissed beyond belief with the place, avoid avoid avoid. :mad:
If anyone is thinking of doing a course with intl-training, PM me and I can fill you in on more of the gory details, even thinking about it now is making my blood boil though so prepare to hear some venting

A reminder to all that you own your own comments on the internet and Boards.ie.
Signing up with your real name and e-mail address to slander a company is not the brightest thing to do.
I have no problem with factual posts and comments, but calling people scam artists is simply not acceptable. And will land you in trouble, not Boards.ie.
Dear Tom,
If that is your real name?? If you have been through my experience with ITI, I wonder would you say the same thing??... I am sick of being giving the run around from them. I cannot further my education financially because of them.. They only commenced the course I applied for 10 weeks prior to the orginial start date which was unprofessional on their part & to not refund people their money back, don't get me started & I am not that stupid to use my real name thank u very much
