I was one of the idiots that fell for the con, I really wanted to get into the Medical Receptionist field.
After replying to an add which stated no experience I got a call from AGE MEDICAL NOW AGE 121. They Informed that they run an excellent training programme designed specifically at those wanting to enter the industry and as well as their excellent course they will help in me finding a job in this field. The minute I handed over my money it all went down hill.
At first they didn't even bother to email the details of the course as well as proof of payment, I emailed 3 times asking for this information before I got a response as well as an apology. The Course itself was shocking, I paid £143 to have someone ask me what I think a good receptionist is and then tell me if I am wrong or not, the highlight was when they handed out a pamphlet that you get at a doctors office and read it out, not mention the software used by the medical field which they could not show us at all but only tell us about. It was no surprise when a lady walked out during the course to which the trainer explained that it had happened the previous day too. Although it was shocking already I was willing to see where this would go - nowhere. We were told after our course that someone would be in touch with us, a week and half later I called them as I had not heard anything. I was told that they forgot about me and that they were sorry but they will put me through for some jobs. Two weeks later I called to check the progress only to be told again that they are sorry but the recruitment consultant that was dealing with me has left and they will pass my details on to the lead consultant. A further 3 weeks later I emailed them expressing my disappointment, only to receive an email apologising as well as promising to put my name forward for some jobs and an email by the end of the week. That was two weeks ago and guess what I have heard nothing.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY
The qualification is not recognised, the course is juvenile and the consultants are sales people only.
You will learn more grabbing a pamphlet from your local GP and simply reading it
AGE 121 should be ashamed taking peoples hard earned money and offering them the junk they do in return. You should be shut down!!!!

  • This company operates against the law also! - AVOID! It makes you do an overpriced training course (one day) as a condition for getting a job.

    "Employers and employment agencies are not allowed to make you use fee-paying services (e.g., CV writing, training courses, or transport) as a requirement for finding you work."
