Anyone used city financial traders

Thanks for that. Is their anybody on here who actually completed the course and got a job?

Also, does anyone know of any similar companies that is reputable?
 
I'd use them, if I'd run out of lat roll and needed to wipe my arris.

They got caught out, added a disclaimer to their website after the fact (good job PB and google cache) on and on. When someone complained and asked for a refund they issued threats and insults (based on lies).

You'd be mad to have anything to do with this bag of monkey-spunk.

Hi everyone,

Has anyone used the city financial traders?

They look better than the rest and they get you a job at the end paying 18-25k or your money back?

Any advice would be great.

Thanks

Very eloquent way of putting it there, Pazienza. I wonder how they're able to keep going even after being caught in the act.

Regulators / rollers don't give a f***, that's one way.

The next way is that there's no short of muppets who are willing to pay for a "job" (usually, the way sh1t works, and call me crazy if you want, is that an employer gives YOU money, you don't give THEM money).

Or willing to pay for "training" that a performing chimp would turn down.

Etc.

Listen, f*** regulations. People need to smarten up, then these things wouldn't exist. But as long as human nature is what it is, there will be outfits around like this.

The last thing we need is more regulation. People just need more common sense.

You did the right thing by asking, plenty wouldn't and those are the ones that get burned.

BUt when a company guarantees you a job paying between 18 and 25k or your money back in a recession can seem appealing to many people and is why i asked. They have alot of people who are desperate for jobs and will do it.

I will finish my degree even thou it costs more.

Sure, these people are scum exploiting people's dreams, fears, desires etc. But in the end, everyone has to apply some brain.

Finish your course, that's the best idea.

Impressed with that. Great way to have some discipline to do what you have to do for yourself. And, as Pazienza says, "use your brain". Good luck with the degree, man!
 
Look ****! - The picture on their first page is actually of the Lloyd's of London ground floor. Insurance market. Nothing to do with trading!

Unfortunately people in this business will do anything to get your money, guarantees mean nothing nor do promises of jobs. In any case why would you pay £5000 for an £18,000 job, that means your left with £13,000 before tax. You would get paid more in McDonalds.
 
I used to work for a firm that issued guarantees and when I asked how firm the guarantee was the MD told me that they issue them with a 10p piece as well so at least the holders can buy a box of matches with which to burn them. (it was a long time ago, you could get a box of Swan Vestas for 10p then !)

Just a thought, there seeems to be an awful lot ofcompanies on the hire at the moment. what have they done with all their traders. Sacked them, Shot them, Raped them (the most likely)?
 
From the wikijobs forum

"I am currently enrolled on the course but I've had quite a bad experience.

Initially it seemed quite good, but then after the induction there was no contact with them. They have never picked up my phone calls and been very very slow with replies to emails.

Initially we were told that we do not need to pay for exams, and even on the contract it says that the exams are optional but received an email from them (last week) recently asking for a payment for exams within a short period of time (by monday) to register for exams.

Any other people on this course have the same problem?
