I'm doing my course with the Ideal Schools. It covers the same levels and I think is cheaper (I paid £130 deposit and then £80 each month for a year). However, the Ideal Schools fee doesn't include the exam costs.
Oh I'll have a look at that then, what materials did you get with your course? The training link took my fancy because you get a fair amount of workbooks/textbooks etc with them.

All the best!
Hi,
Oh I'll have a look at that then, what materials did you get with your course? The training link took my fancy because you get a fair amount of workbooks/textbooks etc with them.
I used training link for all but 1 of my courses. Training link are really good, answers to queries and assignments back in hours and that includes weekends!
Brought a course with Ideal and what a waste of money, the course notes were terrible didn't understand them and in the end gave up on them and studied the course myself and passed. Says a lot about their course notes! Also took them 3 weeks to come back to me with the assignment I tried and it wasn't in an acceptable format for them, they expected me to go and photocopy the answer sheets goodness knows how many times!
I've got a distinction in all my exams and there is no hard sell from training link. They actually encouraged me to have a go at level II manual on my own before buying a course and I'm pleased they did.
I have no experience with Training Link whatsoever, but I've just been on their website and despite their fees being slightly higher, they seem to be better organized than the Ideal Schools and provide their students with more materials and help.
I can't complaint too much, the Ideal Schools are not bad, but a bit slow with returning the assignments.
