Age Partnership Response
4yAlthough I'm grateful you have taken the time to provide feedback, I would like to point out that your review is not only inaccurate but also unfair to your former colleagues.
On your first point, we have always paid for courses leading to qualifications in many areas, and continue to do so. In fact, and by way of an example, several of our current Equity Release Advisors joined the business without CeMAP and CeRER and were fully supported in gaining these as a route to develop their careers. Right now, we have many colleagues part-way through courses that are fully funded by Age Partnership, and we see this as an important part of our commitment to learning and development.
On your assertion that the reviews left by colleagues are "fake", this is entirely untrue. As another way of feeding back to the business, we have asked all colleagues to consider leaving us a review but have left it to each individual as to if and how they choose to respond. As you will know, Glassdoor is totally anonymous, so we have no influence on the reviews we receive! Glassdoor itself encourages companies to engage with colleagues in just this way, so to suggest that reviews are fake or that we are controlling who posts what is unfounded.
I would be very open to you getting in touch with me directly to discuss this further.
