However, there are significant complaints regarding the perceived lack of structure and the pressure to invest additional money beyond the initial course fees. Some attendees feel that the promotional claims about "zero cost" investments are misleading, leading to frustration about unexpected expenses. While many find the content valuable, others describe experiences as unstructured and filled with upselling tactics.

I have mixed feelings about my experience - I believe this company is doing a great job with the people who are looking for a change in their lives. Yet I felt these two days were 50% about pitching their Academy Training, 30% talking about mindset and 20% talking about actual property investing.
I would say that overall I didn't feel the £99 I paid was worth 16 hours of my time, I could have gotten the value that was offered within 3-5 hours.
I am sure people who join the Academy can be helped and guided, it's just not what I was looking to get from this course given I committed 2 of my precious days to it.
I loved the 2 day course. Great content, experienced speakers. It made me very exited to follow my dreams and turn them into reality. Thank you touchstone, it’s been an amazing 2 days.

We had our first 1-2-1 with Rob today. He is a very personable, knowledgeable, and experienced property investor and Touchstone Coach and he took time to get to understand us, our aims, and drivers and gave amazing feedback, useful tips, and a clear set of timed next action steps to help us progress to the next stage on our journey. We thoroughly recommend both Rob as a coach and Touchstone Education's Wealth Academy in general.
A Powerful First Step – Excited for the Journey Ahead!
We went into the two-day seminar thinking we’d just learn about our options for building a property portfolio. But by the end of those two days, we knew without a doubt that joining the Wealth Academy 12-month course was the best decision for us.
The seminar was eye-opening. We came away with a much clearer understanding of property investing—not just the strategies, but the mindset and structure needed to succeed. Everything was presented in a way that made sense, even for complete beginners.
But what truly set it apart were the people. The team at Touchstone Wealth Academy were knowledgeable, genuine, and incredibly supportive. You could tell they weren’t just there to sell a course—they were there to help people grow and succeed. That made all the difference.
We’ve now signed up for the full 12-month program and feel excited, motivated, and—most importantly—supported. If you're considering it, don’t hesitate. Those two days completely changed how we see our future.
Guys, if your considering signing up, Please Read This First !!
I enrolled after spending £99.00 on their 2-day introduction course. Sadly, my experience was a hype. They draw you in with glitz and glamour, and by day 2 of the course, they then bamboozle you with pressurised sales talk for you to then part with 15k in cash to enrol with Wealth Academy.
To me, I felt that I was joining and it would be something I could embrace with confidence.
Sadly for me, I quickly realised that property and investment were not for me or something I wanted to do.
I then asked for my money back, and they said no, you cannot have a refund, as I had to fulfil the objectives of participating in the course for at least one year before considering a refund. If I were not happy with this resolution, I could seek redress by going to the Ombudsman.
Despite my not wanting to participate, they appear to have no recourse for students who enrol and, like me, have decided they no longer want further participation in the course because it simply is not for them for whatever reason.
To me, i feel I have been scammed, and the reason I send this review is for people like me who get excited by the glitz and glamour of the 2-day course, and by day 2, we are all transfixed by their tried and tested FORMULA to lull you us all in to parting with 15K.
For people who partly read the course and then change their mind, they simply will not consider a full refund despite not participating.
I think this is immoral and extortion. I even asked them for a partial refund as a gesture of goodwill, but again it was a flat No!
This review is to advise you all after completing the 2-day course, and their very engaging and tempting way to part with your cash is to be mindful of the strong and suggestive tone and sales technique to get you to part with your money. Their suggestive manner to get you to part with your money, in using the strong power of suggestion in a way that if you don't participate, "you will be missing out" Even if you are strong-willed like me, it is so easy to fall for their hype and their sales pitch.
Sadly for me, I have found that the course and content were not for me, and I made the biggest, most expensive mistake of my life.
If you are lucky enough to read this review and are strongly tempted, please be sure you take note of the advice I am strongly giving you. If you change your mind at the outset unless you follow their terms and conditions you have no chance of redeeming your money back and you are then forced to do something you do not want to do for a full year, something i am not prepared to do as it goes against my principles and i do not like the thought that i am being forcefully coerced into doing something i do not want to do.
This review is to make you all be cautious with this approach that they use. That they have practised this approach, knowing that there are hundreds of customers like me who change their minds, but that they tightened this loophole in relation to refunds in making it almost impossible to obtain one unless you follow their terms and conditions for one full year.
The above practice, I believe, is not fair for people like me who then have to stomach the disappointment of losing their money. I feel I have to stand up and tell you, and if I save one person the heartache of what I have had to suffer, then it will be well worth the effort in writing this review.
Big conglomerates like Wealth Academy cannot simply see punters like us as cash cows to take money from them, and not allow people to obtain refunds for simply changing their minds. Not fair and not right.
When I could hear it, about 50% of it seemed relevant. The other 50% was selling the big ticket items. Shame they didn’t answer the questions I asked on chat, only the ones about the upsold courses. The tech stack it played on was horrible so I could only hear / see about 70% of the total. Not worth two days holiday but very worth £100. Be prepared to drop £20,000 at the end of the course.
Educational side of the content was first class but soon developed into a sales pitch for further sign-ups.
Good value for money though however course content could have been delivered in 1 day.
I recently had a coaching session with Rob Cottingham and I was thoroughly impressed. The session was insightful but also incredibly positive and motivating. Rob took the time to understand my goals and gave clear, practical advice tailored to my specific situation. I'd highly recommend Rob to anyone looking to get serious about property investment and wanting guidance from someone who genuinely knows their stuff and cares about your success. Thank you again Rob, I'm looking forward to applying what I've learned.
The 2 days training was an eye opener for me in terms of property investment. I very much like the different strategies in buying or making business through properties. I want my knowledge on property investment to propel me towards a concrete action in managing a property investment business.
This is a great empowering informational 2 day course,I highly recommend it to anyone especially my own family members,I can't wait to become a part of Touchstone Academy and change my circumstances,thank you for opening my mind to endless possibilities.
A thought provoking & inspiring two days - Provided plenty of food for thought, as did Paul & Abi’s free books which I read in advance, albeit in the final analysis my decision was I need to do proper DD to devise a thorough strategy, be able have it as my number one priority (full restoration of my health & fitness currently is my why) & have the time (& energy) to be able get my head down & busy when I do, which is on my 6-12 month horizon, so decided against the Wealth Academy, but the two day Wealth through Property event & energetic & pro active Abi, Paul & Gordie have certainly shifted me from a consumption into an investment mindset.
By far the best introduction to a topic I've ever had. The practical advice with real life examples combined with passionate, honest and enthusiastic trainers was truly inspirational. So happy to be starting my property investing journey.
The 2 day course was very informative and had a good attendance of over 400 people. The speakers are very knowledgeable. I left with more knowledge than I came with. The 2 day course was long and I felt the talks about there student course was pushed a little too heavy. I get they need to upsell but this felt very pressured with rushed sale techniques and this took away the enjoyment of the course.
