In Under 3 Years, We’ve Reshaped the Sector

Since acquiring The Direct Training Academy Ltd. in August 2022, we’ve grown faster and delivered more value than providers that have been trading for nearly two decades.

Many clients have come forward describing how, for years, they were overcharged for mediocre sessions, often by providers who operated with impunity. Standards slipped. Feedback was ignored. Worse, several senior female leaders have shared disturbing accounts of misogynistic behaviour, dismissive attitudes, and condescending remarks from one particular provider’s owner.

And now? The same individual is reportedly working behind their backs, contacting more senior male stakeholders in an attempt to undermine them, bypassing the very people who raised legitimate, clinical concerns.

When that didn’t work, he started resorting to desperate tactics.

We’ve Done the Opposite

βœ… Transparent pricing and clear terms
βœ… Trainers employed by us β€” no contractors, no unknown faces
βœ… Real equipment: hoists, mannequins, clinical training aids
βœ… Our own venues in Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, and London
βœ… Fast support, easy booking, flexible reschedules
βœ… More 5-star reviews in under 3 years than many have in over 15

Now the Panic Has Set In

Since we disrupted the market, some have responded with tactics that say it all:

  • πŸ“ž Calling agencies who’ve moved to us – begging them to return
  • πŸ•΅οΈ Sending trainers to observe and copy our courses
  • 🚨 Raising baseless complaints – including one serious GDPR breach where candidates were secretly recorded without consent
  • πŸ’¬ Claiming to be “updating content” after years of ignoring industry feedback
  • ⚠️ Still running inadequate sessions: Manual Handling with no hoists, BLS without mannequins, inflated prices, no transparency

What’s happening now isn’t innovation. It’s damage control.

The Market Has Woken Up

We’ve raised the standard, and clients have taken notice. So, if you’re already with us, thank you. If not, this is your moment to move forward.
