New Skill Academy

I looked at a couple of other providers before picking this one, and the course outline here was the most detailed. The videos are clear and the notes can be downloaded. The live chat was slow on a Friday afternoon, though, and it took a while to get my question answered.

Way better than the evening class I tried last year, which was just a room full of people reading slides. This one you can do on your phone whenever, and the videos are short enough that I actually finish them. Did a bit of the course on the bus this week and it was honestly fine.

Good course, signed up in about five minutes on my phone and started the same night. Only niggle is the video lessons buffer a bit on mobile but it's fine on the laptop.

The practice mock exam was the bit I bought it for, and it matched the real thing closely. The questions are timed and the answers come with a proper explanation. I passed the real one first time, which I put down partly to this.

I needed the cert for a job application and I already knew the basics of the subject from years in the trade. Skipped the intro modules without any trouble. The final exam is fair and the marking is quick. Good value for what it covers.

I used to rely on library books for learning languages, and this has been a far better way to study. The sessions are short and the speaking practice gives me a real push. I've been a subscriber for a while and I'm now on my third course. The support team sorted out a billing query quickly when I got in touch.

Decent course, though having worked in this field for a long time I expected more depth on the regulations side. The basics are covered well and the practice tests are useful. The feedback on my written assignment came back after nine days, which was longer than I'd been told. It's fine for someone starting out but I'd look elsewhere for advanced material.

Booked my spot for the next intake through the site and it was all done in a few clicks. The start date was pushed back a week which was a bit annoying. Once it began the sessions ran smoothly and the trainer knew the subject well.

Compared with the local college evening course, this was a fraction of the price and I could fit it around shifts. The lessons are short and the quizzes stop you zoning out. Signed up for the payroll module after finishing the first one and it's been worth every penny so far. Nothing else I looked at came close on cost.

Your course has been clear and well run from start to finish, and I have found the tutors patient with questions. I signed up for the bookkeeping course to help with my late husband's accounts. Nothing has been rushed and the pace suited me well. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone of a similar age.

I needed a refresher on basic software before I started volunteering with a local group. The course is set out in a sensible order and the lessons are easy to follow at my own speed. I found the quizzes helpful and the pace suited me well.

I needed a qualification that my employer would accept, and this was the one they recommended. I've been a customer for a while now, doing one course a year. The assessments are clear and the feedback comes back properly marked.

Honestly way better than the free YouTube videos I was using before, which were all over the place. This one actually goes in order and you get a quiz at the end of each bit so you know if you've got it. Signed up on a Tuesday, finished the first module by the weekend, and the reminder emails kept me going when I'd have otherwise quit. Didn't expect to like it this much tbh.

I needed a short course for a volunteer role at the charity and this was quick to start. I've used them once before for a different subject. The lessons are simple and there's no pressure on timing. Happy enough with it.

I bought the Excel course last month to get ready for a new job. The lessons were short enough to fit around the school run and the practice sheets were useful. The price was a bit higher than some places I'd looked at, but the tutor replies to questions were quick enough that I didn't mind paying a little more.

The course itself was fine but the certificate took about ten days to show up in my account after I'd finished, which was longer than the site said. Booking was easy and the price was fair. I just had to email them to ask where it was and they replied the next day, so no real harm done.

Bought the Excel course on a Sunday night while waiting for a train. Signed up in a couple of minutes and got straight into the first lesson. The tutor's examples are from real office stuff, which made it easy to follow. Already using the formulas at work.

Was the cheapest of the three I looked at, and the course content looked the most practical. The lessons are laid out well and you can skip ahead if you already know a topic. My only real gripe is that the certificate took a few days to arrive after I finished, when I'd expected it straight away.

I was most pleased with the printed workbook that came with the bookkeeping course, as I prefer to write things down. It arrived within the week and the pages are clear. I have found the lessons easy to follow.
