Review about: Bellesa Boutique
happy experience shopping from Kathryn
My hubby was away on a one-month vacation and I know I was going to miss him badly. I love sex a lot and I live a healthy sex-filled life. So I knew I was in for a big problem. After two days of his leaving I couldn't hold it anymore I needed to do something real quick as cheating isn't an option. So I went online to search for a sex shop where I could get want I wanted. After much considerations, I decided to shop from BBoutique. I ordered a dildo and vibrator. It was delivered to me within a few days and it was exactly what I wanted. I am happy with their products and will surely shop from them again. I recommend BBoutique to anyone looking to buy quality sex toys, sex lubricant and cleaners.

Photo book vouchers
Vouchers had expired and Angelina was very helpful identifying my orders and extending the expiry date to enable me to place my order. Excellent customer service
Review about: Shaw Academy
photography course
Very easy and simple to understand course. I like the way the course is building starting from the bottom and adding more information with each lesson, it is done in a chronological way and makes so much sense.
Review about: Shaw Academy
Photoshop & Digital Marketing
I have taken a ton of online courses, both for marketing my the business my husband and I have start
, for college and for high school. I have completed my 2nd course on Module 1 in PhotoShop and the 1st course in Digital Marketing in Module 1. So far I have been very impressed. Although I could do with a **whole lot less** marketing texts and e-mail selling me to sign up for a plan as well as purchase the toolkit and/or the e-certificate. However, I really, really appreciate all the texts and emails reminding me my course will start in 24-hours, 1 hours and is starting now.
I think most of us realize these are not "live" courses, but have been pre-recorded. However ... 1.) the pre-recording is done so well you feel as if it is live and 2.) The way they actually ask you to schedule you course time in advance and then all the reminders really, really help to motivate me to sit down and work the courses, or the review of the previous lesson everyday! Courses without this kind of accountability ... well, I seldom finish them!
As far as the costs and the advertising. As I said I could do without the continual repetitive sales pitches via text and email. Seriously, it does get old. And then you get pop-up everytime you get on to the site selling you the very same thing! Thank God they are easy to x-out of and move on with whatever you need to do.
That being said ... I was trying to go through and listen to the recordings any day I was not taking a class and screen print all the information I needed to keep and dump those into a PowerPoint like program. I decided my time was worth more than this and went ahead and purchased the toolkit. At that point I was shocked to see we will have to purchase both a toolkit and the e-certificate / final challenge for EACH MODULE of the class? REALLY?? I would have been glad to pay for this once per class, For an 8 module course that is 40x2x8 = $640 per course if you are going to take this course seriously and go all the way through it. That is IN ADDITION to the $70 or so they are going to charge you per month. By the way, you have to purchase their 3-month, 6-month or 12-month plans in advance (pay in full). I am suspicious their "you can cancel at anytime" will work like this ... "Sure. we would be glad to cancel that for you ... but you purchased the X number of months plan, so we will have to keep your account active until that period of time is complete. You will have access to the courses until that date, and then we will cancel your plan." In other words, you can cancel ... but you will not receive a refund for the time you are not planning to use.. Again ... this is my suspicion, based on some other pay-in-advance for your per month services. An 8 module course, based on their 2 lessons per week scheduling requirements, with 4 lesson per module will take you approximately 32 months. That means you will really be paying $640 + between $1568 ($49/32 months) and $2208 ($69/month). That's somewhere between $2208 and $2248 for your first course. If you are able to take 2 courses at 2 lessons per week, then it, of course, becomes less expensive per course. Having costs all this out ... I am thinking a course at an online community college might be cheaper.
That being said, I really do like the instruction in the two courses I am taking.
For those looking to obtain the certification to put on their resume or to show to a current or perspective employer in order to get a job or a raise, I worry about is whether the professional certificate will hold water?? I can't find anywhere that says anything in depth about that. I know if I received a certificate directly for Adobe or a college or even a community college it would hold some weight. But what will a certificate from "Shaw Academy" get you?
Again, I love the courses so far, I really love the scheduling and the reminders ... which serve as an accountability factor for me. But ... the ads and the cost of the toolkits and certificate per module makes this INCREDIBLY expensive!!
I am glad I wrote this review ... I may have to think about how far I go with these courses after my free trial period runs out!Cheri - get ready for some deceptive and unethical practices when you try to cancel. If you are already tired of the constant sales pitch you ain't seen nothing yet. There is a lot of feedback that they are taking money that they are not entitled to after you believe you successfully jumped through their ridiculous hoops to cancel. The cancellation phone call alone requires 6 mins of your time responding to not questions like "press 2 to give up on your hopes and dreams". Good luck, and to everyone else I say avoid.
I know absolutely nothing about trading but the First lesson gave me an education and I was hooked. Detailed and delivered at a pace you will be able to follow.
Not a bad start today. Easy to use and log into. Could be better if I could start later in the programme as i have a working knowledge of excel already
The webinar was very good, simple and to the point which suits my needs perfectly. What I do not appreciate is that you have to pay extra for slides and content. For someone like me, struggling at the moment, and for loads of others in this crisis I think this isn't kind or helpful. There should have been more thought into this.
Shaw Academy are being widely accused of deceptive and fraudulent behaviour with regard to unauthorized taking of payments for cancelled accounts. It is recommended to cancel your bank card if they have your details.
Just enrolled with Shaw Academy and have thoroughly enjoyed my first lesson in Photoshop. The teaching is very clear and easy to follow. Watching the video back really helps consolidate the lesson.
On a website where many big brands only have one or two reviews there are over 1300 for Shaw Academy. It doesn't add up. It stinks of a cover up and a scam.
I attended my first webinar today and it was passively educative. It was delivered with first class expertise.
Thanks Shaw Academy.The Idowu comment above, this is what I mean. Watching a pre-recorded video masquerading as live doesn't realistically inspire people to write this nonsense. From what I've seen and heard, it screams SCAM
I am a senior who works from home and need to squeeze in some new learning regarding our digital world. I started my career on a manual typewriter. Would like to access the lesson more that once and I don't see an option for that! Help!
This is well structured and a great form of learning if you are looking for a solid course. Covered all the basics and then once foundation was set moved onto more advanced concepts. Great little course I did
This is so good. Content, explanation and method is great. It makes me interested.
Its ok so far
Another 100 great reviews for Shaw in just one day. I really don't trust any of it. Some interesting reviews on the last pages (from March and before). They have very different ratings. I repeat, this screams SCAM. Others say cancel your card if they have your details, that sounds sensible.
Yes its very helfpful courses fr me and i am satisfied with lessons , all the teachers are amazing. They helps me and answer my questions so i like this
Just started on the Photoshop course and I am absolutely loving it. Very clear instructions and having the video of the lesson to view in your own time is brilliant. Can't wait for the next lessons. Really make using Photoshop a pleasure. Carry on the great work, I will be recommending Shaw Academy to friends. Thanks.
It was a great first class. The content was just the right amount in balance to take in a single class.
The first lesson was a great intro to the next sessions. It was positioned well with terminology and basics to go deeper. I look forward to the upcoming sessions.
I am satisfied with the quality
I'm perplexed by your service. Quite user friendly, convenient and no excuse for one not to upgrade his/her self.
A great platform for self development and it's so much interactive. This is unique and it's one the very best I've seen and experiencedSuper good service! but too much spam on my mail from shawacademy
fully recommended!Nice work on the Project Management Lessons. I get to learn a great deal
I don't understand all the extra cost shouldn't the tool kits come with the class and if they are webinar recording can we take courses at our own pace around our schedule. Then when we finish RECEIVE ECertificate. Due to only 2 classes a week makes this very expensive for me low income. I can handle full time classes. 5 classes a day!!!
I sincerely appreciate my instructor, he was clear and taking the course step by step. it's actually my first time of going through a training with Shaw academy. It was interesting and I love the fact that the time is flexible and trainings recorded for revision purposes.
Great Job!At first when I saw the online program at Shaw Academy I was reluctant due some experience I had over the years with online study of which I never thought I could go through an online program any longer. But this is different I felt at home as if I was with the audience. I can assure you that I was smiling all through and didn't even know when my time ends. The topics on Management and Leadership are clearly delt with without holding back, nice tutorial and sound knowledge. I am excited and promised to introduce many friends to the platform. The follow up on students, sending reminder, mails, infact this institution pampered her students so much. I felt a huge sense of belonging. It's a wonderful experience I must confess. Please keep the good work. My recommendation is to review the modules payment app to MasterCard and visa.
Shaw Academy are desperate to cover up the bad reviews, by keeping adding false ones. Now over 1500 on this obscure review site. Go to the earliest pages to see the real picture. BritainReviews is complicit in this fraud, a check on the IP addresses behind each post would uncover the extent. A similar problem exists on more reputable TrustPilot, but there are higher hopes that they will investigate
As a new, also elder, not savvy in technology.... [ brain is too rusty?!, ], it's very challenging. Just give you a ideas so I mention name; Udemy formats is/was friendly on schedules, no hidden purchases pop up, I have freedom+, to control etc., ....whatever it is I choose w/ no fears....etc. [ I see very good for younger ones who have lots of futures to keep up, & savvy on media....., highly recommendable..].
Gosh! I enjoyed my class project management. Being in the financial world and recently added my own business, renovations and industrial cleaning I feel more confident about facing it. I've taken other online courses MBA but I feel more relaxed here and listen to the lectures easily.
And I like Morpheus the chatwall robot who honestly says he may not know it all. I hope the experience just gets better as I upscale and add to my skills.I started my first class today and I am excited to return tomorrow. I also chose to enroll in numerous classes as it seems that it would really give me the knowledge that I need. Thank you for the opportunity, I have also recommended a few of my friends to enroll.
The classes are decent, but I learned from the good folks in this comment section that its difficult to desubscribe, and that they are shady and will charge you even after you cancel. good thing i used a fake payment source. f*ck this abusive shit
Great job from Shaw Academy. The lessons are great and the materials insightful. Highly recommendable for anyone interested in starting a career in Project Management. Keep up the wonderful work guys... Huge thumbs up!
The sound and video quality and the fact that you can go back to watch records are somethings out of many i love about shawacademy
First time to study about graphic design and the lecturers way of teaching is clear and easy to understand.
It is good learning experience with Shaw academy content and information given is good , just few system error needs to be fixed , like regular reminders on dashboard tab for subscription packs and rescadule of lessons are not working well.
Thanks,
Amit KumarThe information is well laid out... However, technically, it's not live but a playback of a recording.
There is not enough time to make a response when asked for one. Prob coz they're recorded playback lessons.Hi, I'm James Egan, founder of Shaw Academy. We take great pride in scamming thousands of people per day. Covid-19 was a lottery win for us. My wonderful staff in Dublin and Bangalore create hundreds of new reviews every day on this and other review platforms. Each as fake as the next to mislead potential victims, kudos to them, its appreciated. It's amazing to think that we're still getting away with it
I'm only on the 2nd lesson. I do like the format teaching format, but it is pretty slow. I don't like only being able to take 2 lessons a week, especially the initial super basic lessons. I was hoping to consume the content much faster since my business is shut down, once it reopens, I'll likely not have time to spend learning and should instead be able to implement. I'm not a complete newbie.
The classes are absolutely great! I have learnt interesting topics within the lessons. It gives a lot of knowledge and I would highly recommend for everyone to join Shaw Academy
So far, so good. I knew a lot about PS, but have learned a few new things. Only 3 lessons in, so I am hoping to learn even more as the course progresses.
LOVE the dud's accent!I have always wanted to take a photography class and now have some extra time. So far, the first two classes were excellent.
I have watched two lessons so far and I am pleased. Pricing is decent as well .
The topics are very suitable for the needs of our learners and as well as the educator. With the pandemic that we're facing right now this would be a great help. It made me appreciate and understand the design. I am looking forward for more knowledge that I could acquire on this lessons.
I thought the first class was well organised,in terms of presentation.The only downside i felt,was that the pace of the lecture was a bit too fast,being the first lecture i could have done with a little mellow approach to be up to speed with the course.
Web Development course:- I have just completed 2 lectures of this course and got knew very new things like CSS and I alredy knew about HTML but after those 2 lectures I learned more about it. Teacher for Web Development couser is also very good I understand everything,every point that he wanted to tell....
So till nice experience to the class....I started learning yesterday and It was a great experience
So far the lessons have been good with the free trial
Good. Slide simple, clear and understand
Learning with shaw has been amazing, the step by step procedure and the simplicity in them has been a totally whole new experience for online classes for me. Lol the voice over is great too, thought its pre recorded, yet it's so interactive.
Great job at shaw academyQuestion - do you need to purchase the ecertificate to go to the next module or can you do all four modules and just buy the final diploma?
really good very understanding and also... point to point... everything give the information.
As I joined my very first lesson about photography, I gained a lots of inputs regarding to the field of photography, lots of tips to make my photograph more realistic and catchy. Thanks to this site i know that this will help me a lot.
Its my first time for any online course and I am very much impressed with shaw academy. Shaw academy is providing a great quality of online courses. I suggest to everyone to use your free time with shaw academy to build your future.
I attended my first class.Basing on what I was taught, it sounded so relevant and awesome to me.
I was so satisfied with the first course, that I also started another one. I love the way lessons are divided for better explanation, as well as the tasks after every second lesson that trigger us to practice even more. I would definitely recommend to everyone willing to save time, and study from home in the free time. It's amazing how you can schedule your classes as you like. The only "bad" side is the pricing. However, I come from poor country where the average salary is 400€, so I guess the courses' price is totally acceptable for countries with higher standards.
shawacademy help me a lot. Great experience
The course was very useful ,and knowledgeable...thanku
Interesting. Simple and great experience
It was my first lesson on shaw academy today. The class was well organized, slides was simple and easy to understand. The question and answer portion was pretty good.
The first class was well organized and clear to understand. Great job from Shaw Academy
This one is a great experience for me. So grateful!
I have recently start my classes and I really am happy and grateful for the help that I have been getting I would buy all that shaw academy offer but I don't have the money at this time however I would recommend to anyone who is able to make purchase of these offer to go ahead a do so because these opportunity only come once in a life time the you regret the big mistake of not taking the life changing opportunity great job shaw academy keep up the good work I anticipate all my classes to come I really look forward to them these are my few words

Hi, I'm Carmela in South Carolina. I am taking the Leadership Diploma class. The class is well structured and taught. I do not like the constant up selling of the support materials and tool kits. I have been laid off since March and will not be returning to my job. Unemployment benefits does not pay all of the bills.
Its my first time doing online course. I felt the class was effective and everything was just fine .
Excellent teaching methods
Horrendous marketing schemes.
Do not provide payment details to them.
You will find yourself in a hole.The online Project management course ourse is very interesting but I must say it is not properly structured. It is better you clear everyone from the beginning that there are charges attached the course than indirectly introducing charges at every stage of the training. We are learning project management but I assure you a lot people will drop off at one stage of the course or the other meaning that it will become an ABANDON PROJECT because of poor project planning. Please review your program for each course and tell intending participants how much a course will cost with all materials, tool kits, certificate etc inclusive so whoever that is interested and financially ready to enroll will start the course. Again, why restricting the training only twice a week and just for 1hrs,? My second lesson wasn't even up to 40mins?? Why not incorporate everything into a package and then allow each student to choose how he or she wants the classes. Some of us will like to have 2 - 4hrs a day for 5days and get the program completed ASAP. Please Shaw academy management look into these complaints and improve on your course management. Thanks.
It’s been a great privilege and a life-changing experience. I’m grateful to the Academy for providing an affordable and user-friendly platform for individuals to launch projects and be heard in this way.
-As with many, ended up buying an e- certificate by clicking. That is a practice that no reputable educator would adopt.
I am 2 lessons into a course so will stick with it for another couple, but having studied similar topics, the course is poor. There is nothing new original so far that you couldn't get yourself online. Reed.co.uk are advertising free online courses and they are much better (if not great).Rudimentary at best for an aged student (61) but it’s a trial in Nutrition so I can’t expect much to start...too much pressure to “Buy in extras!”
I am doing online course first time. I felt the class was effective and everything was just fine .
I agree 100% with the comments on the abundant false positive reviews, lots & lots of 1/2 sentence reviews, just to get their rating up & hide the negative reviews of the past few days - very deceitful
Well seeing all these reviews about shaw academy is quite different from what I expected. I was really super excited and still really excited that I'm among this academy because with the lesson I've gotten soo far, I would say they're rather smooth and very educative. My educator made classes really comprehensive which to me was never a bore.
Thank you shaw academy for giving people like me with little income the platform to pursue my dreamsShaw Academy online training is next to none in term of lesson simplicity and style of presentation.
Their flexibility of lesson schedule makes it more friendly to one that has a busy schedule and their arrangements on reschedule missed lessons also make it easy for me to follow up the lessons. This is a very commendable landmark for Shaw Academy when looking at other Academies that offer similar training to people. KudosThis is my first day on Digital Marketing free trial. I've learned so much in Lesson 1. Can't wait to finish them all. Thank you so much Shaw Academy.
TOTAL SCAM. One and a half months after CANCELLATION, they have taken 50 Euros from my account for no reason. Even though I had no access to the platform or any communication AT ALL, they have unlawfully charged me and are now refusing a refund.
Their initial claim was that I did not cancel, then they said that the cancellation was "not complete" despite having no access to the platform, having a member of their team gathering feedback about the cancellation and not having any payments as the trial period expired or the month afterwards. They have RANDOMLY AND UNLAWFULLY taken money from my account for a service that was not provided, based on an absolute and non-sensical lie (that I did not cancel, despite the overwhelming evidence).
Shaw Academy is nothing but a collection of pre-recorded and fairly poor musings about different subjects that acts as a front SCAM OPERATION, that even as you follow their procedures still has the nerve to illegally take money from your bank account.Review about: Shaw Academy
All Tool Kits for various Courses | Life Time Membership | E Certificate (Select Ones only).
At the outset, thanks to AirTel - India ISP provider for offering it's Platinum Members Free Membership for 1 year, which I actually encountered by 'Chance'! Initially, no payments or subscriptions were required since I was a AirTel’s Premium Member, except for buying the Tool Kits, which was very much affordable at that point of time. - A year back, somewhere around June 2019.
Frankly speaking, I was never aware of any such Online Shaw Academy though I was aware of few existing ones, the popular ones in their respective domain(s).
Earnestly jumped into the fray my most desired | favoured courses. I was indeed contemplating to undertake from other Online Institutes that I earmarked and identified after doing the necessary research about them. But Shaw Academy (SA) turned out to be more economical than those Globally reputed Institutes that I had identified, also the advantage of Online, Free Scheduling - Time & Week | 2 Classes per week made it more attractive proposition.
Gladly I started my journey with (1) Social Media Marketing, after attending for a week on to my classes on SMM, added Digital Marketing since there is an overlapping and commonality between the two. It was easy to understand and whatever was missing in one was actively compensated by the other. Additionally, opted for ‘Leadership & Management’, since that's what I basically endured and practised as an avid professional for more than three decades in Healthcare industry. That made my fruitful engagement for the entire week.
At some point of time I even completed English, Blogging & Content Writing, and a few 'On Demand’ classes too.
‘Why’ or ‘What’ made ‘Me’ decide to opt for so many lessons:)
(1) I was reasonably aware that I have 365 days of Free Access and I can learn to Up-skill myself whatever possible. Knowledge can never go waste, it remains with you forever! And in today’s transformational world one can never guess which talent or knowledge would be required and can act as an precursor adding to your future endeavour. Hence ‘Learn – Unlearn - & Relearn’ constantly is my dictum and motto!
(2) For all the good reasons the course overview as far as basics are concerned, was far better than expected. At least, you & me are made aware of all the basic components and then if one is interested, may go further refreshing or even towards more Advanced level, which I did.
(3) What better choice does one has to learn under One roof numerous subjects of personal choice and interest!
(4) Most of the Educators are Extremely good, with special mention of Caitlin Hogg for all Marketing related and Christopher MacNulty for Leadership & Management.
(5) I am made to understand that the ‘Graphic Design’ course is one of the most highly rated and it’s Educator too is extremely knowledgeable.
(6) Well I do acknowledge that not even a single course I undertook are factually Online, mostly recorded, but you get that feeling that you are ‘Actively Online’ and moreover, mostly get to interact with the ‘Bot’, which often is not able to answer most of the questions one has. Redirects it to the email, which unfortunately, till date I could never get an response directly from any of the favourite Educator.
(7) What is important is the personal “Engagement”! Even though we understand that it’s not Virtual Reality, let’s accept, with a pinch of salt.
(8) Sending constant emails has its own advantage – it’s a constant reminder to us, and this conditions our mind and sets a routine, that we are supposed to attend our classes, like our College | University days. If anyone of us really think that it’s a constant annoyance by bombarding with number of mails that fills our inbox, then simply stop looking at it and go and delete or place it in Junk Box. If done repeatedly 3 -5 times it will thereafter start going directly to the ‘Junk’, automatically. Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning in particular (AIML comes into play).
(9) Resources like The Tool Kits, Bonus Lessons, Lecture Slides, Class Notes, Quizzes and Module Assignments are all extremely beneficial. The recordings help to go again and again, revise repeatedly. As if an readymade E-Book for us.
(10) For E-Certificates in my personal capacity and opinion, I shall opt only the Final – Advanced ones, else with the recent increase in their Diploma E-Certificates it’s become quite ‘Expensive’, if not unaffordable!
(11) As recently as of March - April 2020, after the worldwide lockdown was imposed in ~187+ countries thereby leading to an enormous surge in every online academic related activity, Shaw Academy had undergone noticeable transformation in terms of upgradation, pricing and designs layout. The last one maybe made it more attractive and even their quantifiable volumes of emails have increased. Their Facebook page interactions which till recently; non active has suddenly quadrupled may be, because of the simple reason that human online interactions have increased tremendously, almost clocking ~ 90%. It’s a demand and supply scenario.
(12) To sum up in all its entirety, there are every good reasons to look for the good – positive reasons and also there are the flip sides. Now, one has to weigh and measure which are advantageous verses the ones that are not and act accordingly, depending upon the cost factor. It’s not an universal phenomenon, and neither applicable to all course applicants.
(13) My personal suggestion: Like the ‘Life time Membership’ offered earlier, a ‘Onetime’ upfront payment for the all the Module Certificates may again be offered | revived, which would be extremely beneficial in the long run for harnessing existing student participants and taking up every module assignment challenge in right earnest.
(14) Moreover, one would continue learning more and keep exploring newer courses, expanding their respective horizons. A Direct goodwill and publicity (A Word to mouth publicity) will be created.
My own irresistible, passionate drive for learning and also because of my being tech savvy, coupled with high degree of engagement in scientific academic orientations I am privileged to acknowledge that after enjoying a gap of 2-3 months, whereby I was engaged in other online tech orientation I have again enrolled myself for (a) Web Development & (b) Mobile App Development. I am actively considering adding Web Design too since again like DM & SMM the two are interrelated and participative, each complimenting the other.
The Internet is probably exploding by its high level of dynamism and unique possibilities being offered, churning, sharing intuitive, interactive knowledge & information. It depends on individuals what we can and should embrace to enhance our knowledge, beliefs and wisdom! So, choose what you like and like what you choose!!!
I truly admire Shaw Academy and it’s courses (What I had undertaken so far) and more importantly the ‘Contents’ which has helped me at least to explore further. I also acknowledge the fact that within the realm of its possibilities and limitations it’s been a very satisfying and encouraging journey so far. Thrown open lots of opportunities to remain inspired!!!
Thanks so much & enjoy the learning journey……………

Sujitfound interesting but found the one click purchasing unnerving. I have accidentally spent £49.99 on a certificate before even doing the course completely by accident. The lessons themselves seem good but I am still waiting to hear whether I will get a refund. If you do be careful about clicking ANY links
I never knew online school could be this easy and smooth. Everything so far is at my fingertips, I'm also glad that I have the option to go back and review classes and ask question during lectures.
It's worth my time. I'm taking 3 courses and the explanations from my educators are always so helpful and easy to understand. Thank you Shaw Academy for the 1 Month free trial ☺️; I wish to get an additional free month(June), but wishes are not horses????. Shaw Academy has been awesome so far, can't wait to complete my 1st modules.
It’s been a wonderful and great opportunity from Shawacademy , with the class I have attended, I can say I am so pleased and well clear about the courses on Diploma In Project Management classes have attended was the best so far. And right I can’t just wait to attend the next class because I have been opened to so many things on Project Management and after these, I am going sign in for another course. I have started recommending the Shawacademy to my friends and some people I know, and I am sure they will be willing to be part of the great Shawacademy as soon as possible. Thank you Shawacademy I am one of the luckiest students.
I'm overwhelmed and really lack the right words to use in appreciation to this platform name shawacademy. It behooves me that skills acquisition can be acquired via online learning at any part of the world especially as kudos as shawacademy online platform.
Their webinars are interacting and interesting with right and precise graphics to aid explanations. During this period of lock down I find it most and enticingly immersed in learning with this platform which has made me to enroll for different courses to occupy at most times with their webinars.
I'm addicted to learn from this platform and also introduced it to my friends also to benefit.
I don't have anything substantial token to appreciate with that can measures a quota of their kind gesture and knowledge acquisition they have impacted to thousands if not millions of people including me than to say a big heartfelt THANK YOU
my best regards to all the key pivot players of this great online citadel.
Once again THANK YOUWhy are there 2300 reviews for Shaw on this website and no more than 10 for any other company? I'm looking up reviews before joining but that seems suspicious
Wonderful style and very professional really. I am beginner and understood very nicely.
I reluctantly signed up for the photoshop course and to be honest, the first two lessons have been really captivating. I find it so easy to assimilate the lessons.
It's an amazing experience..
For me in a nutshell Shaw Academy is simply the best among many online schools
For me in a nutshell Shaw Academy is simply the best among many online schools
This is a great opportunity that you have created for everyone equally. Thank you
Like many others, I too was caught out by the 'one click' trick. I find it shabby in this day and age of transparency. I clicked on the workbook link to find out more, and suddenly I receive an email saying 'thanks for your purchase.' And don't expect a refund, you won't get one. The same goes for their unsubscribing process .... you really have to search. Great companies never do these two things. It's a shame, because I think the product itself is excellent. But I've opted out because it makes me not trust the company.
So far everything seem straight forward and as expected for an online course. I am looking forward to learning all there is to know from the comfort of my home. This will advance my current skills to another level. To be fair, the one thing that made me a little uneasy was the payment process. It wasn't as clear that there is 2 options for the same things, which you could easily make a mistake and double pay. Overall the courses seem to be on point with information.
So far, so good. One lesson in one course does not reflect on the whole, but we are off to a good start. Easy log, good communication and clear, concise teaching. Tool kit should be included or at least mentioned before enrollment.
Shaw Academy is great its give a lot understanding about my courses and a lot of idea and that i will share it to may sibblings.
Feeling very comfortable with course material, flexy schedule allows to learn at my own pace.So far good and lets see ..
I'm loving my photography, web design and coding courses, I'm just struggling paying 50 quid a month for it due to being on benefits.
Thus far, I am finding the material for my online course amazing. What I am not liking is constantly being bombarded with reminders to order tool kits and certificates for additional fees. If you are going to offer a month free, then allow the extras for that month so that one can experience the full deal. It would remove the the feeling of "not trusting the company" I had read many reviews about issues with unsuccessful refunds and have now read issues with single hit purchases. The company/site needs to be more open with options and what those options include. Just be transparent ! Nobody likes to be dealing with "shady" companies. Given all of that, I will continue with my course hoping that I won't have any "fee" issues. Should I. I will not have nothing to do with ShawAcademy again.
I have had one lesson so far and am on a free trial. I also feel uneasy about the 'Buy now with one click' appear everywhere. Also I attended a class following the link sent to me at my scheduled time and then received, 3 emails, two voicemails, two text messages to say I had missed the class. 1. I did not miss my class. 2. Extremely overwhelmed and pressured and frustrated with the different platforms of repeated communication. Not shining a good light on the academy or selling itself for future purchases from me.
Please give some clarity with all the pop up about purchasing of toolkits. Let me know what is free as to what is being advertised. The every minute money pops is confusing. I cant open anything to do assignments without money pops. Please clarify. Every thing else is great....only that constant money dealings makes it looks very bogus and suspicious
I'm on a trial for the Project Management course, which was marketed as free. This is more of a review for me, so I thought it would be perfect. However, I've been barraged by popups and notifications to buy the resource toolkit and the certification since first login, neither of which I need, but apparently how they make their money. There are emails and texts when you don't actually miss your class as if its just the default expectation that you will. Its unclear that if you miss a class you can just watch the recording afterwards, but I had no problem doing so. All in all, if you can put up with the annoying inaccurate notifications and pushy sales tactics, you will likely learn something.
Hi guys. Did anyone managed to get a refund for those 'one click away purchases'? I am not even aware of accidentally clicking it and I received no purchase email whatsoever. I only noticed money missing from my back account.
My experience with Shaw Academy is very fruitful because it taught me a lot about the course that I am and she used the most effective means to make me understand the different factors that make up the course that I chose. So, I can say that I will be fit in the field after lessons. Thank you Shaw Academy !!!!!
Writing a negative review on here & on Trustpilot should help you get a refund, I am still trying...
Trying to get a refund still, what a scam
Its easy to understand. Great module
Shaw academy has been good, still in my first module, but I'm yet to see it's awesomeness
I am too is still awaiting for a refund who they declined to give me for an accident one click purchased. I didnt get any confirmation plus i didnt need that certificate, i dont even have it on hand. I have reported SHAW ACADEMY to ACTION FRAUD please guys do it as well. Atleast maybe this company will be banned in UK as it scammed a lot of money from people.
My experience with Shaw Academy was very nice. Online class seems like a physical interactive class. The facilitator broke down the module into little chunks to grasp easily. Shaw Academy is the way to go .
The best learning app! Shaw Academy has so many courses and the best educators. I am having awesome experience with the app.
It so good????????????????
I just finished module 3 and so far have enjoyed the classes. What is disappointing is that I’ve been bombarded with unnecessary text messages and emails stating that I’m either late or I’ve missed my class all together. I’ve been to everyone and even sent a screen shot to show I was in class and instructor said goodbye. I’m also confused by all the emails and texts about the toolkit. I did purchase already and still continually feel like I’m being harassed. As for certification/diploma...shouldn’t we have the opportunity at the end of course to get one instead of after every module?? The harassment may force me to back out from a class that I like.
At first it was great. I completed Mod 1 in the free trial. For genuine reasons I couldnt continue and went through the long cancellation process. I received a confirmation of cancellation but a few weeks later I was charged the monthly fee. After various emails they were NOT going to refund but did offer me additional options so i decded to give it ago and see if I could complete the course. I was given a free toolkit - I clicked on a open now button and it charged me. Email a complaint agian and was told I would get a credit, Credit didnt appear so have contacted credit card company. For good will I chased them up about refund and a different advisor told me in no uncertain terms 'they do not refund' and tried to offer me other 'free items' most of which I already have. I now do not trust this company and I am too uneasy to continue my learning with them - that i have effectively paid for, as you do not know when/what you will be charged for.
It is a shame as the course is great and easy to use but they do not refund even when you cancel memebership or have two of something which you wont use so this makes them untrust worthy. :-( They also told me I have signed the t&cs, which yes I did but I was well within the t&Cs, I quoted there t&cs to them via copy and paste to prove I was right and they said I was wrong with no jusitfication. Please beware only use if you are happy to pay for everything!!Shaw Academy is really good. Today was my first class and I learnt alot. The lesson was broken down although rushed. I'm yet to see and learn more.
Quite surprised that their prices are premium but the courses are outdated. I decided to learn Excel on Shaw Academy and once I started the course realised it was for Excel 2013 and I have Excel 2019 installed on my computer. Quite a lot has changed in this period so Shaw academy should update their courses before asking people to sign away their credit card.
Me experience with Shaw academy has been great. Even if I consider cost, the free tutorials at the beginning has given me I taste I won't want to lose. The classes have been interesting. Tutors are highly knowledgeable. I have enjoyed every moment at Shaw academy.
I'm on m third lesson for web development and mobile app development and finding the classes great. For someone without any knowledge of coding, it really gives a lot of insight into the basics and a lot of explanation, wether through the videos or through the free available notes.
It is however very annoying that they have one click buy set up for tool lits and certificates, that go straight to your account without even allowing you to go in to check what they actually contain, so be very careful about clicking anything that doesn't specify they were free. Thankfully my card blocked the payment for that, as apparently a number of people have had issues with this without refund.
Constant emailing and messaging and call reminders are very annoying, however useful for a procrastinator.
Also, I have received a notification for a missed classed which is not true, not even telling me which one I actually missed. I have rescheduled it as there is no easy option to tell them I haven't actually missed any, so I'm hoping that works.
I'll update the review further along my courses.Gran plataforma, dejo este mensaje en español pues es mi idioma nativo y para que mas personas de habla hispana sepa de shawacademy, por ahora estoy tomando un curso de Gestión de Proyectos y me experiencia ha sido muy buena, los videos contienen explicaciones detalladas y muy amenas, recomiendo navegar por el sitio y explorar los cursos disponibles.
sahw academy has been an awesome host since the beginning , the teachers did not let me slow down for a minute always on top of everything for the student to finish the course thank you shaw academy
First Lesson went really well good instructors and class structure I would add subtitles to the video lessons for the hearing impaired and the non english spoken users but its a great option
I have only attended 2 lessons on DIPLOMA in Social Media Marketing. Of all the online classes I have attended,none has been as interesting,smooth and well explanatory as Shawacademy's. So in depth and simple to understand.
second unit was very good everything is going fine
Shaw academy is doing fine, I love the presentation.
Did my best to first lesson..I'm a little confused what the toolkit and other needed programs to actually get hands on..
It was not as difficult as some other online courses ive taken. I like it so far I'm a artist and trying to expand and grow potential business..so I hopefully can use knowledge to create beautiful art and financial aspirations..Awesome experience !
The training on leadership management was well understood. I am still observing, I will get the tool kit after some weeks
First class was quite interesting. Lots of things I didn't know. I am not a graphic designer but always had an interest in learning and/or becoming one. Even looked into attending a school.
I agree with all other reviews, the One-Click is unnerving and not fair. We should be allowed to decide whether we want to purchase something or not instead of just clicking one time and being charged for something we may not want or may not necessarily need. That is a deterrence and a turn off to recommending this program to others. PLEASE FIX THAT!What a wonderful class! Great teacher, great course. Easy to access. I appreciate Shaw virtual presentations.
Thus was my first class and I really enjoyed it. The teacher was very good at engaging the class and asking questions!
Shaw academy all the way.
I have attended 2 class so far... It's been a amazing experience... The way of teaching is very nic..
Today was my first class and i enjoyed every bit of it. The instructor was elaborate and also made sure that everyone is carried along. I earnestly look forward to my next class. Thank you Shaw academy for this great opportunity to learn easily.
5 ???? for Shaw Academy, my first class was very interesting and very educative.
Very good
I feel even better than any other online course I have attended i have a great time to improve my skills through your online class and much love you show on very important thing I noticed that you gave much of examples with videos that was much interesting and catchy to understand -thank you ❤️
So far I've just taken the first module in Digital Marketing which was ok although I did feel maybe it could have somehow been slightly more interactive because it's hard to hold your attention for almost an hour when communicating quite a lot of information.
Like many others here, I've been less impressed by the continual bombardment of emails, sms messages and reminders from the app to buy the additional toolkit or the eCert. Thankfully I havent signed up for the whatsapp or FB messenger reminders that have also been offered!
I'm also very wary of the constant pop ups and buttons for one click purchases.
I agree with other comments saying that if you offer a 1 month free trial then all aspects should be given for free and not have these add ons as a way to make more money.
Will proceed with cautionMy experience at Shaw Academy was great. Despite the fact that i was unable to pay for my tool kits before the commencement of the class lesson I really appreciate that i was given opportunity to attend the lessons.
It was very interesting, interactive and educative. I recommend Shaw Academy platform for many more people to learn from their expertise.I am finding the material for my online course amazing.
What I am not liking is constantly being bombarded with reminders to order tool kits and certificates for additional fees.

Given all of that, I will continue with my course hoping that I won't have any "fee" issues.Aside from the one-button insta-purchase, I think the course are easy to understand and follow. I also had an issue where only half the screen being presented is visible on my browser so I am not able to see what's being presented.
Great job show academy your lesson is so good
I feel like the first day at school , I am learning project management and it was good introduction. Hoping for successful course completion
I just ended my very first class in Excel I was pleased with the pace and clarity of the teacher I view that I will learn a lot and look forward to soon pay for other classes in the near future Thank you for this amazing opportunity...
Very interesting course...
Avoid this company at all costs. I’ve had an extremely negative experience. After the first lesson of the 4-week trial I decided that the course was not for me. I cancelled immediately, the tutor who called who goes by the name Nathan called me and I let him know that I wanted to cancel and he explained to me how to do so on the app. I cancelled and stopped receiving any calls from the company, if I were subscribed I would have received calls and texts to let me know I had a lesson etc. This stopped so I know for a fact that I cancelled. This occurred on the 31st of July a month later on the 30th of August I was charged £50, my account was reactivated without my consent. I contacted customer service over the phone who were extremely unhelpful and I also emailed the billing address they still have not replied to me. Please avoid at all costs.
This was clearly written by someone from the company. DON'T BELIEVE IT! this place will still your money! DON'T ENROLL! FREE TRIAL IS A SCAM!!!! TOOLKITS PURCHASE BUTTONS ARE A SCAM!
They will take your money without authorizartion and you'll never see it again!!!!
TERRIBLE PLACE!!!!Scammers only after your money
I feel utterly disgusted by the shaw academy, after cancelling my payments, they have continued to take money from my account. be warned this company is a scam just want your hard earned money then will not give it back to you.
I did not take any paid lessons after the free trial.Card details. Is that normal for a free trial course?
Review about: Shaw Academy
Online Course
The 'customer service' is awful. Most of it is generated by a bot, so you never really get your question answered.
In addition, was offered a FREE toolkit from them IN WRITING, however, once I activated this, my bank card was charged & they refused to refund under the 'terms & conditions" - completely fraudulent behaviour.
Have reported to my bank to resolve, as the communications from Shaw Academy are totally inadequate.Review about: Shaw Academy

Recently I started different courses in Shaw academy. Everything is good and understandable. They provided courses for reachable fee's.
Love the feeling of feeling accomplished
Recently started the Financial Investments course and so far I am learning a lot through this program.
I like the course. I would recommend it to everyone
The teaching material was graphically top-notch! very well explained but could do with some less speed in the presentation since not everyone learns at such a fast pace.
I find the course outlay is great! Though they say the course is free it consitently pops up with purchasing your certificate which in my mind shouldve been clearly stated it has to be paid for...a bit misleading....In the course outlays; I would've liked an actual interactive session versus automated responses....though a course is free you should give your audience at least close to the same experience a paid client would get, this in turn can boost reviews. Overall, I'm thinking of doing another course and noticed some of my friends are already doing courses
Online class is easy to learn
Just finished the first lesson in the Diploma of Digital Marketing and it surpassed my expectations. Very slick, informative, very useful for myself as I am career market researcher, specialising in ad research and wanting to plug any gaps in my understanding of digital media which now accounts for over 50% of ad spend in Australia. If the course remains as useful as the first lesson, it will be brilliant! Thanks
Very informative and easy to follow lessons.
It's have been great with shawacademy, with the class I have attended so far and I'm so grateful to be here. Shawacademy thanks for the opportunity to be part of this course (pm). I'm enjoying my course and having good time.thanks.
fantastic should have started earlier things are more expensive on the long term both workable on short term
Good online classes ,but must provide subtitles in different languages or atleast in English
Great opportunity, excellent system and follow-up etc. I also love the lecturer. Every point is explained clearly and made easy to understand.
My reservation is in the aspect of cost of study. One may come into program with a mindset that it's free only to find that they have materials to purchase (I understand these materials are optional but every serious student would want it) and then pay for the certificate also.
I suggest you give potential students a hint at what to expect cost wise so one will not be found in a fix in the middle of the program or even miss such a good opportunity.What can I say. I love Shaw Academy! The free offerings are a God send. While we are social distancing we can still get our learning on. I am currently taking a guitar, photography, and coding course. Very challenging, but thorough. Great instructors and great follow-up. Thanks SA!
The class is clear, easy to follow and understandable.
I just started my first course with SA and I am so pleased with the service provided until now.
Great material, so goof for amateur photographers' when starting out.
My first session was very informative. I am looking forward to completing this course. The sessions are very informative!
Started the photography course and the instructor is amazing. Learning a great deal more than I had in my photography class in college.
Liked the course outlines, the recap in each session, the graphics, presentation and delivery.
The presentation is good, I will keep on the rating the coming courses.
ThanksThis online learning platform has been my source of inspiration and motivation during this pandemic. For a person like me who is passionate about learning, this has offered me a lot of new concepts on Digital marketing and Finance which would massively help me, moving forward. These new learning will help me adopt and make myself relevant in the new normal. The lessons are short but full of good content. The lessons discuss all the basics and give tips on how we can maximize the teachings. I would highly recommend this. Thank you Shaw Academy. I am looking forward to take on more lessons with you :)
I attended many other online courses but Shaw academy was the best. Easy to follow and to the point..
Nice material, very clear and information available in many formats. Plus they provides recorded classes.
I love shaw academy!
My 1st two classes has been amazing it sure does worth it to gain required skills during this period. Morpheus is great as well Good job and keep it up.
Just got started, still observing
it is absolutely wonderful to part of this program, it is real impact will be implemented in my next project execution. thank you Shaw academy for exposing me more on the area of project management. Friends be part of this success story and enroll to tell more of the program.
New to Shaw Academy and so far the course has been lovely and insightful. The toolkit is well worth it.
I enjoyed my first class. The instructor was very clear and detailed. My only issue are the email reminders. For me there are too many.
Pretty good. Just doing the online modules and it’s good info hoping to put it to use at work
A was scrolling down on Facebook and saw the promotion for 4 weeks , I've been thinking about developing my knowledge in a few topics related to my job. Overall is a good plataform for learning online, classes are straightforward and easy to follow.
I'm not quite happy about the amount of emails that they send with reminders and mistakes about classes not being taken, maybe that can be improved.
I will definitely recommend and already did to my family and friends.I just started to join the most desired | favored course in Shawacademy, Professional Project Management. Committed to finishing the course with the guidance from the expert and experienced Lecturer in Shawacademy. Wish me, luck guys!
So far the graphic design class, i just started went well for the first lesson
Hope to learn moreI just started the course today and it was awesome. Everything is really on point. The massages are clear . The only area I think should be worked upon is that that the lectures is a bits faster. I am glad I enrolled.
I recently joined shaw academy for different courses, i am enjoying it, attended two lecture yet, and they were awesome...
The tutoring has been very understanding and concise to the study. Today is my second class and i'm loving it!
I signed up using a trial version which is supposedly free for a couple weeks. They take your credit card information and indicate that it will be charged by X date if the subscription is not cancelled by then. Fair enough, so I proceeded to sign up. This is where the issues began:
1. I then proceeded to schedule my classes - twice a week since apparently the only way to attend class is by being locked into this schedule. So much for on-demand learning... Next issue:
2. Every time you login, the Shaw Academy website continuously sends you pop ups about a toolkit and an e-certificate which cost GBP 29.95 each. Being unaware of what the toolkit contained, I clicked on the link for more information only to realise that they automatically charged my card through a one-click process. This dishonest manner they go about charging you for a toolkit with a one click purchase has left a bad taste in my mouth and this is not a trustworthy manner of gaining repeat business or gaining the trust of existing customers and made me want to cancel everything immediately. I then went though the support and billings channels to request the refund because I had no intentions of downloading or accessing the toolkit. They indicate that refunding is not in keeping with their policy. I will be following up on this matter to access my refund.
3. Next issue I continue to encounter is that the online platform is not very user friendly and even when I attend classes on the scheduled days, they send you multiple messages - email, text, app notifications - saying that you have missed a class and your educator is waiting for you to attend and to reschedule. The platform is inefficient, lacking and frustrating. Today I was on the go and therefore signed in to attend class on my phone. Well what a waste of time that was. After the timer counted down to the start of the class, the recording never played through I signed in over and over and even followed the link they sent by text.
4. Soon after registration, they also provide a link and invite you to join FB Messenger as a means of class reminders. This link is broken so don't waste your time attempting. Support is slow and lacking. They create a ticket and eventually get back to you mixing up issues and the responses to them. So many issues to warn unsuspecting learners about.
5. Message overload: They send so many messages via multiple means: email, through app notification, text messaging. Rather than this barrage of messages, they should focus on setting up an efficient platform that saves learners time rather than frustrate them.
Unfortunately this experience has been very frustrating and I would not recommend this to anyone.Review about: Shaw Academy
photography course
Only done one session so far, but it looks like it is what I need and clear enough to understand and work through systematically in order to understand my camera, it's features and subject matter.
Review about: Toople
Simple but Good
For Broadband ,and selling worlds branded phones, tablet and managing SIM
They are providing our company a high speed broadband fiber XL for last few months as earlier company was using "direct" from these people only.
We know them for last few years and service and products never been an issue , so yes it is suggestive..
One more thing their CS for back support is better and providing free router on every connection.
I am satisfied with the quality, professionalism, information content of digital marketing training on Shaw Academy. Useful, interesting, fully packed with knowledge.
The chatwall "robot" during classes is quite new, so the robot is still learning, can not really give answers for all your questions.
