I have just achieved my Sage Accounting Certification. I am really pleased to recommend KBM training & Recruitment company (placed in Barking). In beginning I was not sure I should use this company but now I can say with no doubt: IT`S WORTH IT. All people there were very helpful, friendly and supportive. I would definitely do the next course with them. I would give ten stars if I could.

The teaching style is not helpful

The teaching style is not helpful. you only follow video-recorded step-by-step and it doesn't give you the confidence to sort issues when you want to do it on your own. they indeed teach you different software but not everything you need to know. for instance, I enrolled account assistant program and all what I did was bookkeeping. I didn't even do bookkeeping such CIS. Additionally, even though, the young guy who is there, is not fully ready to guide you, he is trying everything to help. finally, communication and guidance are abysmal. they don't check your progress. I think I waste my time and money with them to be honest.

KBM is truly amazing

KBM is truly amazing! I’ve learnt so much here and this really helped me in getting a job! It took me exactly 3 weeks to be successful in getting the job I wanted. I also managed to secure 7 other job interviews. Prior to working with KBM I was unable to get a single interview. The people there, specifically Waqas, Noman and Jacinth are very helpful and very nice, they really go out of their way to deliver and do a really good job. I definitely recommend this place for anyone that’s new to London or has no work experience.

KBM Accounts assistant

As someone with no prior work experience in the field, KBM help by providing a curriculum which helps to train you with the basics, and assist you with gaining experience with different softwares which are commonly used in accounting like xero, quickbooks and sage. Teachers are very helpful and are quick to assist. You also are able to get software certifications which help boost your employability and you are provided with help and resources/lectures for job searches and CV preparation. Once the course is finished, they are also there to help when you require any additional assistance with job hunting or any other queries you may have. Overall, especially for those who require some level of experience in accounting, i would definitely recommend. It is a great place to help increase your skillset and start your career in accounting.

I would like to say the curriculum is designed in a way which any person can catch up easily with the prevailing softwares su ch as Sage 50, Quickbooks and Xero. On the top of that you have the trainers which are available 1 to 1 or on Skype.
You can create your schedule to learn the courses based on your availability. The specialised classes are also available as per the course structure.

Best place to get Accounting Training

I can't speak highly enough of this training firm! The practical training in Sage 50 Accounts, QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Payroll, and Excel gave me the confidence to excel in my accounting role. The tutor as so nice and helpful and the Quality Assurance Manager, Noman Akber is always been so helpful throughout the time.
Highly recommended program.

Disappointing Experience with KBM Training and Recruitment

I enrolled at KBM Training and Recruitment with the goal of gaining accounting qualifications, but my experience was deeply unsatisfactory. The company fell short of providing the professional educational environment that was promised. Firstly, the instructors did not seem to have adequate professional teaching credentials, which significantly hindered the learning process. Additionally, the course fees were not justified by the quality of education delivered.

The course materials provided were substandard, mostly sourced from easily accessible online content, which contributed to a feeling of being constantly behind. Communication was also a challenge, as the instructors had heavy accents that were difficult to understand, further complicating the learning experience.

Given these issues, I could not continue with the program and decided to request a refund within a month of starting. For anyone considering KBM for their educational needs, I would urge you to look into these aspects carefully before committing.
