Review about: Shaw Academy
Graphic-Design
I am currently on a 30-day free trial with Shaw Academy and let me tell you as a business owner, I have not been impressed.
At first, I thought it was a wonderful offer to allow new students during this difficult time the opportunity to learn new skills and/or improve on previous learned skills. Signing up for the class was also simple, but that sadly has been the only thing.
Immediately I was taken to page where they recommend you paying for each separate module's "bonus" materials and certificates (each priced at $39.99). If I hadn't been taking this as a trial, or caught the trick of being nickled and dimed, Shaw Academy would have already had several hundreds of dollars from me during a time when it would not have been possible.
Then, I started getting bombarded by Shaw Academy via text message, email and phone calls reminding me about this or asking me about that. For example, simply to write this review alone, I have been begged by the academy 8 different times already and today, I only completed my first session!
The course itself I have found extremely difficult to listen to due to the instructor's pre-recording sounding like a computer, and her rapid pacing. I have attended hundreds of webinars before as well as attended online courses, and none of them were pre-recorded. Students who attend this class have no opportunity to ask the instructor any questions with the expectation of getting an answer right away, so they either have to rely on someone else in the stream, hoping they are not given wrong information, or have to waste time emailing Shaw Academy and waiting for an answer.
Overall, this has been a very frustrating experience and I will not be continuing with my subscription after the trial is over.I find it interesting but I think this is not for me because I don't think I can easily follow the instruction because of its technology used. Then the online class stopped its session I don't know what happened. Sorry to inform you that I will change my online course. Thank you for accommodating me. God bless your academy.
I am very helpful ????
Lesson 2 made me realise how complicated a camera really is. Couldn't be more excited to to nail this course!!
Sadly truth is the payment when initially at this bad times you just wna grab a good opportunity to self upgrade for free bt instead you are charge for a certain amount unexpectedly. Very disappointing.
It’s a amazing experience.
Its going really well, even though i'm a professional in my field, it's good to have this refresher course. I don't use some these programs on a daily bases, like the old saying goes if you don't use it you lose it.
My experience on the 1st class is that it was not interactive. It was a one ended classroom. Questions asked we're not give immediate response. Not encouraging. Make it more interactive, days why it's called online class. The issue of bombarding free students with payment option is unethical too, because I believe if they wanted to do a paid class they wouldn't opt for a free one
My son loves to create the scratch. It is interesting for him to make the code and sprites.Thanks for the shaw academy
So far so good, enjoying the Graphic Design trial lesson (module 1). Planning to purchase the other modules in the following months.
I would love to further more with Shaw academy

I, like to appreciate the Shaw Academy team for putting up this wonderful platform and courses. I just took my first class today and it was really educative am hoping to learn more and improve myself. i ll definitely rate them a 5 star.
Signing up for Shaw Academy took some time to complete. It seems like great adventure though. I found the first lesson a challenge to listen to while taking notes. She really went fast. I had to listen to the class recording after to complete my notes
I would have wanted to ask some questions but I didn't because I don't think it would be answered then.
I was annoyed by the tonnes of messages from the Academy as well
Also pricing of course toolkits,etc
I'll continue though to see how it goes..
Lisa RickettsThe course is very useful and it's very easy to understand. The staffs really explain well. Thanks
Teacher soft spoken and not sound interesting,feel sleepy.Sound like AI.
Will take one more session if still can't follow then will stop the course.It is a very nice experience, like I can just sit at home and access the course.
The only problem is with the money transfers other than that I think this academy is cool.Its useful
I am enjoying every bit of it. The Free Scheduling - Time & Week | 2 Classes per week made it more attractive proposition. I have recommended to 5 of my colleagues. The courses are simplified which makes it easy for every beginner to cope. Well done Shaw Academy.
I totally agree with you
I totally agree with you
I am satisfied with the online course that I am taking up because I get to learn more while staying safe at home during the pandemic. Also, another reason is that its free for everyone. Thank you for sharing this kind of opportunity.
