Back to Work Reviews 

The Social Media for E-commerce course covered a lot of material in a short time frame, which was intense. It’s split into 5 sections which are not done in order, and doesn’t make sense until the end. They’re so rushed that it’s hard to absorb anything you learn.
The course needs reviewing and shortening because a lot is repeated unnecessarily.

The promised interviews on completion have not happened. I’m sent jobs that have no relevance to the course, which I apply to anyway, but then no one replies to me. It honestly feels like a scam that this company has received government funding to run these courses.

Study consists of the tutor reading off power-points and some group discussions. This material is given to you for the assessment but not everything is covered so it’s best to take notes.

Assessments are full of repeated questions, so you end up writing the same things but phrased differently. It takes a long time to fully understand what the response should be and most of the evenings will be spent writing long answers.

Our tutor left halfway through the course which was disruptive and the second tutor lacked subject knowledge. A lot of the second half was rushed and felt like you could write anything and still achieve the required grade.

The programme has supported me to achieve my intended outcome of growing my confidence by learning new skills. I had never done coding before so creating my first programme was a great experience.
I feel as though my experience has met my expectations and above. Everything was explained well by the tutor, Ali, and the pacing and depth of material was well structured. I enjoyed the pace of the first and second units. I enjoyed the coding tasks in the first unit. I'm not a huge fan of GitHub but I reckon it'll grow on me. There was a lot of research required for unit 3 but it was necessary to gain insights into Python libraries. Unit 4 was the hardest but the resources were in place to keep ourselves advancing through the course. The whole thing was well structured and well paced, it would be difficult to identify what to add or remove. A new lesson was usually taught each day but the assessment for each lesson had flexibility to go back over the content. Unit 3 was heavy in research focus but the pacing and resources for unit 4 balanced this out.

The course was very intensive, but i learned a lot during that time. The program was delivered completely online the instructor was lovely. The whole process, from before I started to after, has been supported by an entire team - I have felt supported at all times. Would definitely recommend

Onboarders were friendly and welcoming. My tutor was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I am very happy I completed this course.

Daily assignments were challenging but also rewarding. I last did Level 3 qualifications in 2 years of 6th form but this was about 1 month. Very intense but I should have expected that!

Just a quick message to say thank you to Mohammad Afgan (Ali) for everything during the TQUK Level 3 Certificate in AI Programming with Python. I really appreciated the way you taught the sessions — clear, patient, and always encouraging. You made a tough subject feel manageable, and you kept the whole group motivated from start to finish. Thanks again, Ali, for all your support and guidance.

this course supported me by teaching me a new set of skills and giving me more knowledge on the topic of programming with python and AI, which will be really
useful when it come to applying for new jobs

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had an excellent experience completing the TQUK Level 3 Certificate in AI Programming with Python through The B2W Group.

The course was well structured, combining theory with practical projects that covered Python, GitHub, AI libraries and deep learning using PyTorch. I particularly enjoyed the hands-on approach, which allowed me to build real AI applications and gain practical experience with convolutional neural networks, transfer learning and computer vision.

A special thanks to my tutor, Ali, whose support throughout the course was outstanding. His feedback was always detailed, constructive and encouraging, and he took the time to explain concepts clearly whenever I needed help. The coursework reviews were thorough and helped me continually improve my understanding.

As a Senior Software Engineer, this course has given me valuable new AI skills that complement my existing experience and have strengthened my CV and professional portfolio. I would highly recommend The B2W Group to anyone looking to develop practical AI programming skills in a supportive learning environment.

The level 3 cybersecurity and networking course from Back2Work was a mess.

The tutor (Simon Bates) had zero experience in or understanding of the subject. He complained repeatedly that they shouldn't be teaching us ethical hacking (which is a core skill of cybersecurity) despite the ethical hacking in the course already being practically non-existent.

The course is 90% "theory", delivered almost entirely by random YouTube videos which were apparently just the first things that came up when they searched a topic, ranging from GCSE IT revision guides to vids from literal nobodies with no affiliation to any official or educational organisation. Most if not all of them were years old and outdated. Back2Work had none of their own course material whatsoever.

The "practical" side, done in Cisco Packet Tracer, consisted of following step-by-step instructions from a word document which tell you exactly what to do with zero context or explanation of what you are doing or why. Extremely easy to complete, but if you aren't already familiar with networking don't expect them to actually teach anything at all about what you're trying to achieve or how to achieve it!

In addition, an entire week was taken up solely by a project management unit, which has nothing to do with cybersecurity and felt somewhere between a paid sponsorship by Trello and a way to pad the course length to meet minimum government funding requirements.

The "networking" unit provided us with such pearls of wisdom as the fact that wire strippers are used to strip wires. Fascinating stuff.

Overall a disappointing waste of time. If you want to learn anything useful about cybersecurity, go literally anywhere else.

I would highly recommend this company to anyone. I have just completed a course and it was fantastically done by my coach Kevin Farmer and marked by Kavita Jabbal. Kevin made the course fun, easily completed and interactive. He was very approachable with questions we had. Even though he made it fun and interactive he was still professional all the way through. As we completed units Kavita would mark it for us and give us feedback. Then at the end of the course Kevin also gave feedback. I now feel more confident gaining employment and using all the knowledge i have learned. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Was put on a course to get a cscs card, was put in contact with greg and sam, was sent an assessment to do late april, passed it then rang to confirm it, was told i passed and that the next course was a month from now and they will be in touch before the exam, I waited patiently preparing for the exam, time got closer and no one got in touch, i emailed and text but har no response, the exam day came and no response, my coach team leader then emailed to which they responded instantly, told her they would sort me out and be in contact, still had no response to my reply, couple days later got an email saying that there was no more courses till after summer, no reason as to why i was ignored or as to why they wasnt in contact about the arranged exam date, no apology no nothing, needless to say it was very unprofessional and a waste of my time.

Applied May 13th for a level 2 web design course. Received an email that someone would be in touch in 24-48hrs. May 18th no contact so I emailed again. May 29th still no contact emailed again and called but they hung up on me. June 4th still no contact I called and was ‘transferred’ to the team who could help me and I was left on hold. Needless to say I’m done trying to use back to work. Maybe in the past it was a real system to help gain new skills but now I doubt it’s a legitimate option. Avoid!

Back to work has the most experienced, qualified tutors. I felt well supported throughout the course and I got to learn exactly what I expected out of the course. It was amazing 😍

great course
I enjoyed learning L3 cybersecurity and networking, and advancing my skills in the comfort of my room, and gaining the necessary qualifications to get to a better position at work

My experience with B2W was both educational and fun. Thanks to B2W, I was always learning new skills everyday, which will help me progress further in my career in IT.

The course was intense and fast paced but the tutor was excellent and very knowledgeable about the subject. The course covers network threats and vulnerabilities and how to manage access controls. I enjoyed using Packet Tracer in the practical assessments as well as scanning a website for security vulnerabilities. Be warned there is a lot of written essays involved and the course may well eat into your evenings and weekends, so you need to have the time to free to get everything done.

I had a positive experience completing the Level 3 Networking and Cybersecurity course with Back to Work Group. The course was well structured and covered a range of topics, including Access Control, Network Management, network threats and Vulnerabilities, and Ethical Hacking and Project Management. I enjoyed the practical assignments, as they allowed me to apply what I had learnt in realistic scenarios.

My tutor, Mohammad Ali Afgan, was supportive throughout the course and provided clear guidance and constructive feedback when needed. The learning materials were easy to follow, and the course helped me build both technical knowledge and transferable skills, such as planning, organisation, and problem-solving.

Completing this qualification has increased my confidence and given me valuable skills that I can use in future employment and further study. Overall, I found the course rewarding and would recommend it to anyone interested in developing their knowledge of networking and cybersecurity.

This is my 2nd course with B2W - great team, great learning experience. I can't recommend them enough if you are looking to upskill

The Tutor was very helpful, the support material provided in completing the complete was very good. Overall I have been happy with B2W.

Very easy to enrol in and do the course. The assessments are easy to follow and do, and once it is done, they are marked and feedback is given. Good to take a course at B2W.
