An Unforgettable, Career-Transforming Course Experience

Signed up for a crash course on Automatiom and AWS cloud technologies and it exceeded all my expectations. The training was exceptionally well-structured, with each module building seamlessly on the last. The instructor’s deep knowledge and real-world examples made complex concepts not only understandable but engaging.

Glad I reached out, wish had reached out earlier. Thanks LAN official!!!

Professional and very supportive team

After i completed comptia A+, I had enrolled in cloud computing Azure 104. I found labs to be very easy to follow. It’s well structured and well explained. I had support available from the lan team whenever needed during the course. I have also been guided in applying jobs, CV support and interview preparations. Would highly recommend the lan for IT trainings

Dishonest and Unprofessional Training Company

Me and a friend have been deceived in believing the company would provide good training. We were enrolled on the Microsoft DevOps training courses, namely AZ 104 & AZ 400.

Their philosophy is saving money on all fronts while at the same time taking from vulnerable students (without jobs) as much money as possible without providing the value they paid for.

The training I was provided was with unqualified trainers who have only passed the stated certifications. There was no course structure and no official training material. Their initial price was £3600 which I had to pay for using my settlement amount. Retrospectively for the same price I could have paid for a certified course, with job guarantee and an exam pass guarantee as well.

Just to explain, most of the training was just a blank slide with the trainer scribbling non sense on an empty canvas covering nearly just 1% of a whole syllabus. Or even being asked to provide topics from a subject I knew nothing about to cover with another trainer. Moreover I was provided with 3rd party cheap subscriptions from unverified sources (mostly asian) to support the lack of training provided. At the end, I was given to myself to support myself to pass a very difficult exam.

I'd stay well away from this training company since I'm unsure on their business philosophy (what they're doing with all that money!). I've previously enrolled on to many other training companies e.g. Optima-IT academy, Knowledge Academy, ITOnlineLearning, The Learning Curve, IT Career Switch and The Purple Beard. All of these training companies have indeed provided official training material as well as qualified trainers. I'm still attempting to get a refund.

Dear Hossam,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

Firstly, we strive to provide high-quality training and support to all our students. In your case, we understand that you were dissatisfied with the trainer after you finished the course.

We provided a full refund of £1750 for the course you did not pursue and ensured that the remaining fees were used for the first course you completed. Despite your concerns about the training quality, we arranged for a different and highly popular instructor to reteach the entire course at no additional cost, which you expressed satisfaction with when we followed up with you. However, after finishing the course you demanded a full refund again.

Regarding the exam preparation, we offered another attempt at the exam as part of our pass guarantee and advised you to utilize practice exam papers to better prepare. Unfortunately, it appears that these resources were not fully utilized, which may have impacted your exam performance.

We are committed to continuous improvement and take all feedback seriously. We regret that your experience did not meet your expectations.


Best regards,
The LAN

I received support in CCNA and Cloud Computing. I found excellent mentorship with them, my background was assessed and I was guided to courses suitable to my requirements. I was helped in applying for the roles and Interview preparations. I have been placed into a decent job as Network Engineer in London. Many Thanks to THE LAN team

Great experience

I have joined The Lan in 2023 and due to personal reasons I couldn't continue with the course and have been given the opportunity to start fresh in February 2024. For that, I am very grateful.
During the short period of attending the sessions, I can say with certainty the classes are very informative and the Labs are extremely useful. I am eager to start the course again and will provide an update once I have completed the course, In Shaa Allah.
Thank you to The Lan team, especially Irfan who has been continuously supportive and accommodating.

The course is really good

The course is really good. I already had many years of experience with traditional IT and some introduction to cloud, but this gave me an excellent opportunity to update my knowledge. It keeps a nice balance between theory and practical activities (hands-on labs). The instructor is very knowledgeable about the subject and breaks down cloud concepts and AWS services in a way that is easy to understand by beginners and ready for the next step to professional.
It was a great support with The LAN throughout the whole course.

My experience

As I was finishing my a levels I was going to go to university which was going to be 7-8 years and I was confused as to what I wanted to do. Then I found out about The LAN who helped and guided me and made me pass this course and thanks to them I can now apply to jobs only after a few months of studying. I had one to one sessions with the teacher who prepared me for my exam and my teacher was there for me at any time. The teacher was able to answer all my concerns and questions which made me very satisfied with the overall experience.

Excellent Support

A great course provider equipping anyone form any previous background with the correct knowledge to pursue a career in a whole new industry.
After completing my AWS certificate I am proud to say the trainer was very professional in how the information was delivered to me by breaking it down to a level I would be able to understand . All questions are answered till satisfaction.
Even then on after finishing the course I was still supported by THE LAN to develop my CV and pursue my desired job . They helped with building your confidence in interview skills and any experience that is required.
I would highly recommend this to anyone seeking a career in Computing as you don't need any previous knowledge and that is very impressive .

Final certificate achieved - AWS Solutions Architect

Really helped out my family situation

Really helped out my family situation. My dad was struggling to pay the bills. My brother was working part time with no degree. He took a course with the lan, it wasnt only just a course, they helped him develop so many skills, they helped with his cv and even finding him a job and helping with the interview. We're so happy now. He got a job so quickly and is now a network engineer. There is nothing to lose just with a free demo, definently different from all other training centres.

Hello Guys

Hello Guys, I am currently working at Excel Group as a Network Engineer. Prior to gaining CCNA qualifications, I had NO IDEA about Networking, I had ZERO knowledge, I had NO Degree. I came across "The LAN" through one of my friends who recommended me to it. The entire process enrolment process was very smooth and friendly.
Learning CCNA at "TheLAN” was a very engaging experience. I got all the hands-on training on Routers and Switches alongside technical material. I passed CCNA in the first attempt.
I highly recommend THELAN for anyone looking for a new professional job or to enhance their technical skills. I received tons of support. It was an amazing experience from the beginning to the end. They never let me feel like I was alone. They helped me throughout the process of learning, CV building, interview preparations and getting a job
