Been using them for about six years now and I'd not go anywhere else. The course fees are sorted in a clear way, the tutors reply to emails within a day or so, and when I needed my study plan changed last spring it was done without any fuss. Really pleased I stuck with them through the whole thing.
Read moreThe downloadable materials are the thing I noticed most, and they're laid out well with clear headings. Some of the older PDFs from the first module looked a bit dated though, and a couple of links were broken. The team sorted them when I flagged it but it took the best part of a week.
Read moreI approached them because I needed guidance on completing a complicated pension application, and a friend had recommended them. The first advisor I spoke to was thorough and the paperwork was explained clearly. Unfortunately the follow up took rather longer than I had hoped, around ten days, and I had to chase it once. Otherwise the service was sound and the outcome was what I needed.

Booking the exam support was simple enough and the staff were helpful when I rang. The thing that bothered me was the fee had gone up since I last enrolled a couple of years back, and nobody flagged it before I paid. The service itself was fine, and the sessions ran on time. Just pricier than I expected.
Car failed its MOT and I needed cash fast, so I applied on here on a Sunday night. The form was quite long and it asked for loads of bank statements which took me ages to find. Got a yes the next morning though, which was fair enough. Money landed in my account on the Tuesday. Repayments come out on the date they said, no issues there. Just a bit of a faff getting started.
