    I'd be really interested in hearing people's opinions on this too. Have been looking at it the last few days.

    I just had a snoop about this. This crowd seem to sell courses via bargain deal sites. It is very hard to find real, accurate reviews of the course material. The original course prices are exhorbitant (the phrase 'paper never refused ink' comes to mind). If they can discount the course price by 95% then tbh, it sounds like the course material leaves a lot to be desired. It may not cost very much, but youll probably waste the little it does cost you.

    Thanks Oryx,
    I had a feeling that that might be the case. Usually when something seems too good to be true, it is!! I'll keep that €50 :)

    Thanks alltacht, great to have a first hand review of it. I'll keep my money and maybe put it towards something more worthwhile!

    My OH is doing an online nutrition course at the moment, 2yrs full time £3700. It was the best value course that leads to job offers after completion. Any others we saw were just nonsense.

    Thanks. I was just curious. :)

    3700 seems OK for 2 years full time considering some of the prices for courses out there.
