Delta Training

[highspark]

I've just been informed that Delta training have gone into liquidation.

I had an open portfolio doing the 2356. Liquidator has told me there is next to no assets and I'm set to lose my £800 fee.

Let me know how you get on, the problem is the course changes on the 31st Dec.

With us all being enrolled already with guilds I can't see the cut off point affecting us as we are already on the course. It's the cost to change over.

Scumbags. They knew what they were planning to do when signing people up.

feel for you i lost my £4000 to ATL when they didnt fulfil their contract with me so whatever you do dont go to them as they are just after your money and dont care about you after that

Cant believe it...got a message from phil....GUTTED....was really getting to grips with the whole onefile thing...its disgusting....i paid with a debit card natwest gold account gonna see where i stand....please please please if anyone knows of a remedy to this either another company or whatever please let me know....many thanks....

I'm in same boat, though to a lesser extent than some it seems. I've paid by Debit card, too. Not looking hopeful. Would love to get my hands on em.

I made some progress yesterday.

Onefile advised me to back up my portfolio to a zip file and try to find a new company to which I could transfer my registration. From a quick look at the XSTraining website (sponsors here), I had noticed that they also use the Onefile format, so I sent them an email explaining the situation and they replied quickly and were very helpful. (I can assure you - I am not being bribed to say that!)

C&G have acknowledged that it's totally beyond my control and are trying to help, but it turns out that Delta may have had other issues that I can't disclose here just yet.

So, I'm resigned to paying out more money to a company such as XS, in order to finish the course, but it's looking quite promising with regard to transferring my portfolio over to them.

I would be cautious about paying another similar provider, as the cut-off date is fast approaching and they will no longer be profiting, and might do exactly the same thing.

I appreciate your concern, but I still have a C&G registration for the 2356, so the cut-off date should be irrelevant for those of us with part completed portfolios.

The worrying issue is, in what form these portfolios will permitted to cross over to the new training/assessing company and what will the additional costs be to administer this process and assess the remaining sections?

I spoke toe onefile and they mentioned the same thing, I'll get onto XS, are they asking for extra £££?

Also had a letter in the post from debt reclaimers who are handling DET so will fill that in.

Will also have to dig out the receipt and see what card type I used, although most debit cards are VISA so I should have a case to claim my money back.

If you paid by debit card then VISA are in no way gonna help you out! This is another reason to do courses at proper colleges.....they tend not to go bust!

This kind of comment is just rubbing salt into the wounds. Some of us work mainly in the retail sector where attending a local college for 2/3/4 years on a given night is impossible. Believe me, I tried to do that twelve years ago and failed.

Speak to David Alexis at XS Training - he's been pretty helpful so far. I haven't discussed payment with him yet, but maybe if there's a few of us, the transfer of portfolios will work out to be less expensive.

Hi RDV,

please update how is your progress with XSTraining. It is intresting what they say.
I am going to contact them but the contacts they provide is email and address. That is strange. According to them the final date to enrole for course is 31st of December.

Thanks,
