my first course

Booked my first course here, a short customer service qualification for my new job. The booking page took about five minutes and the login details arrived right away. I'd been nervous about doing anything online but the modules are easy to follow and the tutor left friendly comments on my work. Glad I picked this over the local option.

Solid course, decent value

Solid course, decent value. I've done a few of these over the years for my admin work and the content was up to date with current standards. The only niggle was the assessment submission page, which took a couple of tries to upload my file. Once that was sorted the feedback from the assessor was useful and came back within the promised week.

Bought the functional skills maths

Bought the functional skills maths course to get my level 2 certificate for a job application. Price was fair compared to the local college and I could start straight away without waiting for a September intake. The modules are split into bite-sized pieces so it's easy to fit around the kids. Certificate arrived by post in about a week, which was fine. Nothing to complain about for the money.

needed the safeguarding cert

I needed a safeguarding certificate for my volunteer role at the church hall and the group I volunteer with asked for proof within a fortnight. Pricing was clear with no surprises at checkout, and the course could be completed in a few evenings. Certificate was emailed as a PDF the same day I passed the final quiz, which saved me a trip to the post office. Good value and quick.

Food hygiene course done on the phone

Bought the food hygiene course for my kitchen job and did most of it on my phone during breaks. The app kept my place when the signal dropped, which saved me. Booking was quick and the price was what I'd expect. Certificate landed in my inbox after the test, and my manager was happy with it.

Needed it to stay on the job

I needed to renew my forklift related safety training to stay on the job, and I've been using this provider for a good ten years now. Booking the refresher was simple and the reminder emails came in good time before my expiry date. Course materials have been updated and are easier to follow than they used to be. Certificate was sent by post and arrived in a few days. Steady service from a company that knows what it's doing.

sorted my cert in a weekend

Found out I needed a first aid at work certificate for a bar job and this was the first thing that came up on google. Signed up on my phone in about five minutes, did the modules on the train and in bed, and the quizzes were fine, nothing too long. Certificate came through as a download straight after the final test. Would sort it again, it was just quick.

needed the childcare level 3

I needed the childcare level 3 to move into a nursery role and I've done a fair few courses before, so I know what to expect. Content covers the statutory framework properly and the assignments are sensibly structured. The only snag was that the portal logged me out during a long assignment upload and I lost a bit of work. Support got back to me and sorted my resubmission, but it was a frustrating afternoon.

Clear instructions and a fair price

The course pages were laid out so I could find the module I needed without hunting about. I paid for a short refresher on data protection for my bookkeeping work, and the price was fair against what I'd seen elsewhere. The assessment was straightforward and the certificate was emailed to me the same afternoon I passed. Nothing about it made me feel rushed or pushed into extras.

Bit pricier but fine

Looked at a couple of other places before booking and this one came out a bit dearer for the same length of course. The course itself was sound and the modules were easy to follow on my laptop at home. The only niggle was that the assessment booking took a few emails back and forth before I could sit it. Certificate arrived once I'd passed, so I'd still use them again.

Good value for the money

Worth it for the price, plain and simple. I paid for a short course to update my first aid certificate for work and it did the job without the upsell nonsense I got from other providers. The modules were clear, I could log in on my laptop in the evening and pick it up where I left off. Certificate arrived by email within a day or so, which was useful because my manager needed it the next morning.

Needed it for my role

I needed a refresher on health and safety for my supervisor role and had used them on and off for about fifteen years. Booking the refresher was straightforward and the certificate came through quickly. The online portal is a bit clunky but it gets the job done. Good to know they're still around.

way better than the other place

Compared to the free stuff on YouTube this was miles more structured and it actually gave me a certificate at the end. Signed up on my phone in like five minutes, no faff. Would do it again.

Bought the level 2 award

Bought the level 2 award in food hygiene for my kitchen job. Sign up was simple and the course was cheaper than a couple of local training firms I checked. Compared with the others, though, the assessment booking took a few days to confirm, and I had to chase them once by email before I got a date. Once that was sorted the course itself was clear and the certificate arrived promptly afterwards.

cheaper than the college

Compared it with two local colleges and an online course from a bigger brand before picking this one. The college wanted a lot more money and a fixed start date, and the bigger brand's course was pricier for the same qualification. Signing up here was simple and I've been working through the units at my own pace while on night shifts. Assessment feedback has been fair. Happy with it.

Quick and easy, would do again

Honestly really easy to sign up and get going. Did a little customer service course for my part time job and finished it in a weekend. Certificate came through fast. Good stuff.

Been using them for years

Been using this provider for years now, and compared with the newer online courses it still feels more established and less gimmicky. I signed up for an update on my construction site induction and the process was the same as it always has been, quick and clear. The tutor was helpful when I got stuck on a question about scaffolding rules. Certificate came through the post a few days later. No complaints.

Good for the money

Needed a manual handling refresher for my care assistant job and the price was lower than what my employer quoted for a day course. The course is split into short sections so I could pick it up and put it down around my shifts. Certificate arrived by email the same day I finished. Nothing I'd complain about for what I paid, I'd book again.

Really good, easy to use

Really good, easy to use and the price was fine. Did a short course on my phone during my lunch breaks and the app kept my place when the signal dropped. Tutor replied on the chat within a few hours. Would do another one.

The videos were the best bit

The videos were the best bit, way more watchable than the usual text heavy stuff I expected from a course like this. I was doing a short counselling skills module for a volunteer job and the examples felt real. Booking took a couple of minutes and everything was in my account straight away. Cheap enough that I didn't overthink it.
