BioGrad Education Avis 

We are very disappointed in the lack of communication from Biograd Education, we had originally signed up a member of staff to do a course in July 2025, unfortunately the course was cancelled on many occasions due to low numbers and eventually we decided to cancel.
A refund was promised in February 2026 and we were informed this would be received within 10 working days, despite repeated requests for the refund we are yet to receive this seven months later.
We have called and emailed almost weekly and are promised a member of the finance team will contact us, but this never happens.

Overall nice experience. I think I made the best decision by attending this skills boot camp. I will recommend that each science student attend one skills boot camp, especially mature students. Your time for this will be a truly rewarding investment.

I am so glad I did the intensive training for biotechnology and laboratory skills boot camp! I have refreshed my skills already possessed but had been a while since I practiced and few more new skills I will be using in my next chapter of career.
The staff are so knowledgeable and helpful to guide through the whole process of learning. The equipment and materials are the latest examples of what we use in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries that will make learners more confident to pursue a career in the industry once completed their courses at BioGrad facilities.
I definitely recommend to anyone interested to join the industry based job search and apply for the position in similar fields to be ready to start from first day of employment.
Thank you.

BioGrad Education's Mammalian Cell Culture Bootcamp at the University of Bradford was amazing. This two-week programme was perfectly organised, featuring outstanding lecturers and a magnificent laboratory. I learnt a vast amount through this high-quality, intensive training. It is a professional, elite experience that provides incredible value for any serious scientist. Highly recommended!

Amazing staff and a great place to learn!

It was an amazing experience where I had the opportunity to learn and also to connect with people in the industry.
If you want to acquire a new skills or enhance what you already know, Biograd is definitely a great choice.

I have attempted to communicate with this company through various channels since June, as my daughter was due to attend one of their courses but is now unable to participate. Unfortunately, despite sending at least ten emails, I have not received any response. Reaching them by phone has also proven to be nearly impossible.

Regardless of what they advertise, if a company cannot maintain serious and professional customer service, it raises serious concerns. For me, this is unacceptable. I strongly advise others to be cautious when dealing with this company.

I kindly request that someone respond to me as soon as possible upon seeing this message.

The dedication, hardwork, humility, readiness to help and kindness of our lecturers.The course is a detailed array of scientific skill acquisition that is practical based and theoretically accurate.Moreover, I had the best group mates imaginable!

Very useful course on lab skills. Practical skills are taught along side theory is the best way to learn. All the staff is friendly and helpful. Great experience!

Great opportunity to learn lots with knowledgeable teachers. Given lots of lab experience too with different techniques. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get into the industry as extra experience.

I had a useful experience with the introductory lab skills course, which also had good hospitality and friendly staff.

Gave good, personalised feedback. Really enjoyable lab classes with good theory.

It was very easy to understand and not useful

Good course but the communication is poor. I could not attend 2 occasions so I was required to have replacement classes but when I arrived they seemed unaware of that. The staff scurried upstairs to discuss this and in the end 1 of the lecturers gave the class to me all on my own. The lecturer did this spontaneously and without anyone informing her in advance. I provided constructive feedback for them to improve on this but it happened again. This time I turned up like a fool only to be turned away because 1 of the labs was "out of action" and they did not inform me of this so I was turned away. Finaly, they tried to arrange an online replacement class for me only for it to be cancelled at the last minute once again. Four months on and I still have not completed a simple 10 day course. Good company let down by poor HR.

Nice teachers but it is clear this is not like industry standards, we were taught in an old storage cupboard! I was told evolution isn't real multiple times. We were also told by numerous staff that no research actually takes place at BioGrad, despite it being advertised as a research institute - which is not surprising as managers are not scientists.

Amazing lecturers but the lab space is shocking. Everything is makeshift and it appears upper management do not understand the science they're 'selling'.

Their latest research on gene editing technologies is groundbreaking and has the potential to revolutionize treatments for genetic disorders. The team’s expertise and passion shine through their work, and it’s evident that they are at the forefront of biotechnological advancements. Their publications are not only scientifically rigorous but also accessible, making it easier for non-specialists to understand the importance of their findings. I can’t wait to see what they achieve next!

The lecturers were very passionate and knowledgeable. Everyone gets to be involved and have a go.
The afternoon games were fun. (Thanks Mary) Kinda wished that they were a bit longer.

Shout out to Reece. He's fun.

All the instructors have been super supportive, which was really great especially since I was a long way from home for the week for my DofE residential. I learnt a lot and they explained new and difficult concepts really effectively as well as providing lots of guidance with the practical elements. I had a great week and really recommend this for your DofE residential or just for some experience in general.

Variety of activities and how useful it is for my CV
