The first clues all was not well at the grandly named London College Of Global Education were there for anyone to see in the dodgy English on its website.
Its mission, it proclaimed, was “To create and provide a high quality of learning journey which inspire”.
And it boasted: “London College of Global Education is established in 2010 to offer specialised coursed in teaching and education”.
Perhaps it’s not surprising that a college that’s unable to spell “courses” should turn out to be a sham.
But what a pity that this only became apparent after it was paid almost £1million of taxpayers’ money to fund apprenticeships.
That’s a vast amount to hand to a college whose latest published accounts at the time it began receiving the money showed net assets of just £2,650.
Run by sole director Narayan Sah, it claimed to offer face-to-face tuition in Barking, East London, and also distance learning.
