They will train you definitely. But for the job, forget it. If you want to be trained, you can go for it.

scam alert ....run

You can go ahead, it's legitimate. I was trained and I got my current job through them.

I did the training and i was given the opportunities, when you don't know anything, then don't go for it.

@queensokon, how genuine is the training,heard of them before but thought it was scam.

@mickeymouse, its genuine. All you have to do is make sure you are focused and don't get distracted.

Sincerely, they will train you. But u can get a better and updated course online for free. Am too sure only luck can give you a job from them cos they have hundreds awaiting job placement.

The 'luck' you talked about here I believe is a product of the person's seriousness during the class cos me and quite a number of my mates that trained then got the job. I have no regrets. So long as you can learn cos their training is too intense for the "dullard".

pls hint me more about it, I intend going for the training. how does it go, is d opportunity dependent on your performance at the training and wat is the chance of getting d opportunity

Run for your life, I have been there before, they have too many awaiting trainees who are yet to be employed, plus large number on students studying and very few openings... they will promise u 100k and above job, and u will end up waiting forever to get the job...

is d opportunity dependent on your performance at the training I will say yes, though I and my friends that trained and got the jobs were not bookworms but one thing I can say from my experience training there is this; their trainers are good and we were taken through practical calls too. At least that really helped me cos I work as a call centre agent now. All I can say is that, it is worth it. I was almost discouraged when I read stuffs online as at the time I was making enquiries but now I know talk is cheap cos the image painted is not the same with what I got. Pls I'm not preaching to you to patronize them, you are an adult so I wish you well.

tnx so much. when do u do ur training and wen was d opportunity given

i will repeat this for the last time,,,,,
if you want to be trained go ahead
if you want a job dont bank on them
and they have agents who will advocate for them on social media platforms.
my and friends of mine experience with them is not a testimony of job but of a training.
they are to train and you pay for the service they render forget job for now from them

I don't even know why nairaland still allows them to advertise their service here,I have a friend who has trained with them she was only trained and not given any job up till two months now,she's now managing a #15,000 job after paying almost 50k for the training...I really pity graduates,all these scammers are just taking advantage of this unemployment issue.
