All about selling the academy…
All about selling the academy subscription, little to no educational value. I asked for a refund and I hope I get it as per their money-back guarantee. Disappointing.

All about selling the academy subscription, little to no educational value. I asked for a refund and I hope I get it as per their money-back guarantee. Disappointing.
Majority of time there was a product sale isted of what inpayed for promised will show me ways to find investor to pitch them and exectra never happend told us to talk to friends 🤣
I attended the two-day course with my £99 which is a big investment for me, and was excited and impressed by the first day’s content -(I am a complete beginner). They spent a little too much time at the end of the 1st day to pitch their higher priced course when they said there was a whole hour the next day to mention it. Day two was going to be more in depth we’d been led to believe. Unfortunately, day two felt more like a high-pressure sales pitch than an educational experience. Not just for the hour they promised, the whole day! The constant upselling was disappointing and hugely draining. It’s the day after and I felt I should share my experience. Some of the tactics used were uncomfortable. I was hoping for more genuine value and transparency. Proceed with caution. Additional: interesting reply below. I think whilst I understood they would ‘upsell’, they did this for the whole 2nd day which took away from our learning experience. And mislead us all by saying they’d ‘spend one hour only’ talking about the investment £15,000 would get you. I felt drained and exhausted by the end of the day. But I guess it just meant working with Touchstone wasn’t for me. I think it’s interesting they even NEED to get people so desperately inside their program, when they are all seemingly incredibly successful already. My ‘expert’ who was messaging me promised he would check in at the end of the day and make a plan together for next steps. He said “can I message you tomorrow”? I never heard from him again. 🫠

Disappointed - I had hoped to learn a lot of what I needed to know. Instead the focus was around buying a 15k course & case studies of people from said course. Yes, there was some useful information - mindset was great and the snippets of other information but it could have been done in 2 hours rather than 2 days.
May be good for some people but not for me
I gave up on the morning of day 2. I did not like the time pressured selling of invest £15k with us by the end of the day or the price jumps up to £22k for the proper annual course with the valuable mentors and plan etc. There were some nice “light” insights on different property growth strategies however the pressure sell was a real turn off for me….
The practical information received on day one was hugely useful and the energy given by the two presenters. Direct questions were responded to and the pace was intense. However, this all changed on day two and the focus went to hard sales, with the owners talking about reframing mindset and subliminal persuasion. I paid for two days training and got one day plus one day of sales.with pressured deadlines to part with further funds. I don’t doubt the experience gained from joining up will have been beneficial, but the pressure to do so was irrational My thoughts were if the presenters were really making this much in property income, why were they spending many weekends delivering this training, which must have been draining and negatively effective life work balance .
Whilst there was some useful information, the 2 day training is obviously a sales pitch to get individuals to part with 15k upfront, to attend the wealth academy. When asked if there was alternative way to pay, e.g from the first profits of a property flip, the answer was a straight forward 'No'. Most Universities/ learning establishments would allow payments by instalments. Given that Touchstone appear to be confident in their product then they should be confident that their mentorship would lead them to supporting a student to make enough profit to pay the 15k on their first deal. It's a shame that they are missing out on something that could guarantee them income and bring in more students. The 2 day training definitely did not go into sufficient detail e.g tax,to enable someone to go away and build wealth. Somewhat disappointing given that the initial pitch was they were going to show us how to do it. Towards the end of the 2 day course, it became a little more 'blunt' and obvious that sales was the name of the game. Not much teaching occurred on property, an attempt at psychoanalysis took place to persuade everyone to take up 'the last few remaining spaces on the Wealth Academy. I did leave early as there was swearing, and my 6 year old was sat next to me. It wasn't very proffessional and it felt aggressive. Sorry to be 'blunt'.
Although this two day course was helpful in respect to having my eyes opened to new opportunities. Don’t be fooled, It’s very much a two day sales pitch. After receiving a welcome pack which gives you all of their courses, prices and options of learning, this course only seemed to focus on pushing (and I mean pushing) their most expensive one. Not only do they push it hard, they offer a large discount during the two day course, making you believe that you’re getting a great deal - without explaining how or why they can reduce the course from £22k to £15k. They talk about due diligence when making deals in property, but they don’t allow you time to do your due diligence when dropping £15k of your own savings, or even worse encouraging you to get into debt to fund it. (And yes, my success executive suggested that “previous students have looked to their bank for a personal loan to fund the academy”) When asking detailed questions during the two days, we were simply met with “don’t get bogged down in the details, think big picture” - sorry guys, I want to do some due diligence here! Ultimately, if they really wanted to help and educate us, they would hear the concerns of the people that can’t drop £15k spontaneously, and offered cheaper more affordable options that they clearly offer in the welcome pack, but their job is to push their big ticket option only. There may be something to learn from this academy, but it’ll cost you a lot of money to delve into it properly. Be warned, if you want your £99 refunded from not getting enough value from the two days, you must tell them before starting day two otherwise you’re not entitled to it.
So I have just done 2 day course 4/4 5/4 and day one was really informative tells you things you didn’t even know about then say day 2 is more informative if you like day 1 day 2 is even better but unfortunately they start telling you about the academy and how this can help you and then for the rest of the time all day 2 you are sold a dream that you can make x amount but in order to do this you have to give them 15k to join the academy and you have till 17:30 day 2 to join or that’s it and I can imagine there was a lot of people on the course like myself would have struggled to find £1500 in that time frame never mind 15k then everyone was told it’s not a lot of money to find well if you don’t have it let me tell you it is a lot so tho there was good things to take out of day one I feel day 2 was no where near what I was expecting and a little disappointing as in the initial seminar abi said they would link us with investors and basically everything you need to go away and start your property journey but after the 2 days it almost makes you feel like you will not succeed unless you sign up to the academy
Very little real content. What there was was short on detail. For that you have to buy into their ongoing training. The 2 day event is a two day advertising opportunity to upsell the £15k course. Probably best to give it a miss.
it’s clear that the main goal is to sell the £15k course. I understand the value of a 12-month program, and I’m sure it goes into depth. However, I expected this two-day course to at least cover the fundamental areas of property investment, helping us understand where to focus and what to consider. Unfortunately, I found that around 80% of the time was spent on promoting the next course rather than advising and teaching . There was some useful information, but it wasn’t what I had hoped for. I think the two-day session should include more real case studies, practical examples, and discussions of challenges in the property world. It would be a much better way to engage and support newcomers considering further enrolment.
Way too much information, way too fast, lovely people obviously with loads of knowledge to share, why a massive jump from £99 2 days to 15k for a year, something in between might be an idea
Disappointing. Sadly, contrary to the company’s response, the event itself is not a ‘course’ in terms of primarily being focused upon education, and therefore any advertising to the contrary is misleading, and to claim to offer a CPD certificate is also misleading as there is no professional skill or knowledge gained from the event. The ‘knowledge’ presented therein is highly restricted and also publicly available online. From my attendance, in my opinion the event’s primary focus is to sell an incredibly expensive ‘course’ with no guarantees. I offered the company an alternative solution to be more inclusive to welcoming more ‘students’ and they declined. Perhaps the company should be honest instead of remaining focused upon obscenely priced sales packages that sadly appear to focus only upon making a few richer.
A few insightful nuggets, not much detail, very top level. There was a significant amount of emphasis on signing up to the wealth academy rather than going deeper into topics. They had 31 spaces they kept pushing, which at £16k means that they made just under £500k getting people to sign up... so I think that's their true wealth generator.
