LANTRA - BEWARE!!! BEWARE!!! BEWARE!!!Lantra hold themselves out as being a 'fit and proper' company but BEWARE as they acted DISHONESTLY!!! We were a customer of theirs until we discovered that Lantra staff had written a FAKE review about our company on our Trustpilot page by IMPERSONATING a customer of ours AND also providing a fake name in the process!!! Lantra even went to the extent of changing the 'reviewer name' 3 times in order to cover their tracks! We were one of their highest paying customers - not anymore!!! Very weird, very strange, very dishonest!!! Avoid this company as they might leave you and/or your company a bad review behind your back too!We subsequently made a formal complaint through their so-called complaints procedure whereby they defended their fake review by saying it was factually correct!!! ...Even after they had gone to lengths to disguise its origin, which we caught them out on!Their CEO Marcus Potter and his underling Robert Tabor accused our company and members of staff as fraudulent, simply for not removing AFTER they left us a FAKE REVIEW!!!Their Quartz system is a joke, it routinely crashes, and looks like it has been coded by a 5-year old child. Lantra will demand payments upfront when you enter a learner onto their awful Quartz system and DO NOT REFUND regardless of whether a learner goes through with their assessment or not. This means YOUR company will have to bear the cost of customer refunds (in accordance with the relevant consumer legislation) and Lantra will keep your money as they are not required to refund your business with it being a business-to-business transaction - even though they bear ZERO costs. They are industry experts in red tape and bureaucracy and they have treated our company very badly indeed, and I have no doubt they have treated other companies with similar contempt. Please contact SmartBreeder.com if you have any complaints about Lantra as we are collecting all complaints about them so to pass onto the

I attended Writtle agricultural college some years ago and the course and teacher were very good. Last year I did a bioside pesticides online course to enable us to carry on buying rat poison which we have been doing prior to this for fifty years. I logged on to their website and found little to no information on the courses I paid for or attended. Pointless really. The truth is that 99.9% of the farmers in this country have been farming quite well for the past thousand years without certificates. A quote from the classic film ,Blazing saddles. "We don't need no stinking badges!"

I took a rodenticide level 2 course. I passed having read all the course material and checked to ensure I conformed to the strict regulations. I adhered to all points even phoned to clarify access to course materials was allowed. Particularly as this was an open book test and was allowed to use Lantra course material I accessed this as 3 of the questions had not been covered in the training. They told me my exam was voided I asked to see screenshots of where I did wrong and they could not offer them. It’s a total scam walk away. I was told I could go again for 3/4 of the original price however as I didn’t know what they didn’t like I didn’t throw good money after bad. I would not recommend them find somewhere more trustworthy I’ve yet to get my qualification.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please do not give this company your money as I have passed and paid for course only to not receive my cscs this company is running a big scam taking your money and not giving you what you paid for so please do not give this company your money or time !!!!!!!!!!!
Trustpilot
terrible company...... do not use. absolute scam. They take your money and you can't access the course, then you can't get on the exam, followed by passing the questions and having confirmation of this to be told you failed due to using external material. This was allowed in the exam and was shown before I started. This has happened twice now so please don't waste your time and money with this monopolist company

SQP Core and Companion Animal Access to all materials, straightforward and easy. Put off my exams due to anxiety for a long time but everything was so good. The Vetpol team are so helpful and understanding. Their team were always on hand to answer any questions I had and put my worrying to ease. Big shout out to Debs, without who, wouldn't have given me the confidence to do my SQP.

The Vetpol team were incredibly helpful. The course was easy to access as were all the modules and the training material. Debs and Caroline were always at the end of an email for any questions or queries. The exams were easy to book and I felt well supported by the Vetpol team throughout my learning experience.Definitely would recommend to anyone looking to train as an SQP.

If I had my way there would be a minus star rating even though I’ve failed my level two rodent course I then asked for what I had failed on which they could not produce. How is this a learning procedure? We cannot learn from this? If you do not know your mistakes if you think about it when you do your driving test theory you get to see where you went wrong and you can learn from this and you can also acquire DVDs and sit a mock test of all different questions that would’ve been appropriate. there were also questions in the test that were not covered in. The modules provided which even though I have paid for I cannot go back and review over them again. Is this only a one time view? as being very dyslexic sometimes you need to revisit time and time again.
