Touchstone Education - Doncaster

I'm currently a member of Wealth Academy, which is quite an expensive course with Touchdown education. While it doesn’t offer much one-to-one support, the recorded trainings and webinars are absolutely phenomenal. I don’t regret spending the money—it’s been worth it. They are definitely not a scam.

It's a scam, it's a 2 day sales pitch to join the "wealth academy " that costs £22k but they will offer it to you for a steal at £10k with a rolling £500 a month subscription for 12 months, I kid you not. Id advise anyone to use that money for a deposit for a property not lining these people's pockets they are taking vulnerable people for a ride.

Honest Review!

I think the 2 day course is actually amazing. The mentors and content (Day 1 in particular) are great. I can’t speak for everyone, especially the people who actually joined, but I think a lot of the negative reviews maybe want a “get rick quick” scheme or are just not in the right headspace etc. the course I found very motivating and informative. There is a lot of time dedicated to motivation etc. throughout the 2 days, which can be a lot and could maybe have been put into other teaching methods, however for the most part, I found this really helpful and made me more keen when in doubt.

The only thing I would say, is that of course they push you to join their academy which is circa 15k and at times came across like you NEEDED them to do it. We were also encouraged to split the cost on credit cards or any way if possible to succeed if we wanted it enough, which I wouldn’t suggest to everybody! I think the way they put it is you’re “guaranteed” your money back eventually because of their program, but I wouldn’t be encouraging further debt on credit cards etc. Nonetheless it seems worthwhile and they back a lot of this up with evidence and their experienced mentors.

I knew I wouldn’t be able to commit to this right away, but the opportunity seems great. A lot of the negative reviews I could argue aren’t happy, because they want a quick fix.

I can definitely say I’ve finished feeling inspired, although I won’t be joining the wealth academy at the moment, I’ve still learned insightful information and has given me more direction. 😊

I attended the Abi Hookway online conference and quickly realised something was off. Everything seemed pre-recorded. When I asked in the chat if it was live, I was told it was and that I’d just missed something at the start. But by the Q&A session, it became obvious—it was not live. My question wasn’t answered, and when I commented that it was a recording, I was suddenly removed from the meeting.

The whole setup felt like a scam. Instead of providing the advertised content (like limited companies and buying properties), all they pushed was their £99 “two-day seminar,” with additional upsells. There was no genuine teaching—just a sales pitch.

This is by far the biggest scam I’ve come across. Please don’t waste your time or money. If you read through the comments, you’ll see many others have been ripped off as well. Stay away—it’s complete fraud.

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.

I enrolled in Touchstone Education’s Wealth Academy programme following months of aggressive marketing that painted it as a comprehensive, supportive, and practical 12–15 month journey into property investment. What I actually encountered was an incredibly underwhelming, poorly structured, and frankly exploitative experience.

🚫 Misleading Expectations from Day One
From the start, the promises fell apart. Despite the high ticket price, there was no real guidance. The programme is chaotic and leaves you feeling completely lost. There’s no structured onboarding, no personalised learning path — just a scattered jumble of content with little cohesion.

🎥 Inconsistent, Repetitive, and Shallow Content
The learning materials are a mess. Some videos are barely one minute long, others nearly three hours, often rambling with repeated points and lacking any didactic clarity. It feels like a content dump rather than a curated educational experience.

The so-called "hundreds of resources" are a marketing gimmick. Every video comes with a transcript and a PowerPoint, and they count these three identical versions of the same information as three separate resources. Many videos are simply 1-minute task introductions — again padded out with transcript and slides — just to inflate the numbers.

👥 Overcrowded Seminars & Useless Mentorship
Weekly seminars are oversubscribed, often with over 100 participants. There’s no meaningful interaction, no space for real questions, and the mentors’ answers are vague and non-specific. Forget about tailored advice — 1-to-1 sessions are a paltry 20 minutes, barely enough to explain your project, let alone get useful feedback.

💼 No Real Opportunities as Promised
One of the key selling points — special access to investors, funding, and unique property contracts — turned out to be hollow. For instance, there are barely any resources or guidance on Purchase Lease Options, despite the heavy emphasis on them during sales calls. The investor access and deal opportunities are simply not there in practice.

🔚 Final Verdict
This programme over-promises and dramatically under-delivers. It feels like a sales funnel disguised as an educational service — one that capitalises on ambition but provides little substance in return. I would not recommend Touchstone’s Wealth Academy to anyone serious about learning or succeeding in property investment. Look elsewhere for real value.

If you’ve got £15,000 lying around and a deep emotional need to be disappointed, Touchstone Education is the perfect place.

I went in expecting practical strategies, insider property tips, and a path to financial freedom.
What I got was:

Generic “believe in yourself” speeches

A few slides I could’ve Googled

And a mentor who appears for 20 minutes a month like a Pokémon with poor time management

They promised me wealth.
All I’ve gained is a lanyard, a recurring sense of regret, and the ability to say “leverage” in three different tones of voice.

They love to say:

> “It’s not a cost — it’s an investment.”

Which is true, if you enjoy investing in buyer’s remorse.

At least when you lose money at a casino, they give you free drinks.

If you dream of building a portfolio, start with actual property — not an overpriced PowerPoint and a guy in a suit telling you to raise your vibration.

I was on the most recent 2 day course over the weekend. Abi was incredible just her infectious energy and positivity. You can tell she is passionate about helping people and changing their mindset to do better for themselves.
Gordie, presenting all the way from Dubai was also very informative and knowledgable. He said one thing that stuck with me “nothing in this life should be looked at as expensive, you should think about things dependant on the value it would add”
They make it VERY clear on the course that if you do not put into action what you learn you will fail (obviously).
Unfortunately, I was not able to join the Wealth Academy but I found great value in the two day course and no one else would teach you that much for £99.

The only thing I would say could be improved is there was a lot of mindset training as part of the course and “inspiring” quotes and stuff which I think took up a lot of time that could’ve been used to give us more detail on each of the strategies.

Also, when people would ask genuine good questions that many of us wanted the answers for they kept saying “stop overthinking” and would never actually answer the question which I think took away from the experience, slightly.

Those are just points for improvement, not criticism as I’ve made it clear, I really enjoyed the course content and the energy during the whole two days.
