Recent reviews
overall very good course just lack of communication between mole valley and greencross global with the on line training which i should of done before and never recieved the email but the actual course was great and the online training easy to follow and complete
Online Computer based training was tedious and following completion of the course the certificate was not available, I reported this but it wasnt resolved so I had to attend the course with my laptop open on the training page to prove that it had been completed. I have since completed the course including the practical side and a certificate is supposed to be available.. Oh surprise, no certificate for this either. If I log into mygcg from my works machine I can log in and view my course but not see any certificates and if I log in from my mobile or any other device I get a message stating that I am using the wrong username and password ( even though it is the exact username/password combo that I use from my works machine to log in). I attempted to try the change password from the "my profile" page but just get a blank error 404 message and if I use a "Forgot password" option I get the same error 404. Therefore I have logged in successfully - done the mandatory training and completed the course and the exams whilst being logged on successfully but yet I am unable to retrieve my certificates as my password is invalid (even when I'm logged on from my works machine) . A total and utter farce. In 2025 this should not be such an issue. Pathetic.
Simon the trainer made the course interesting and relevant
