Review about: Shaw Academy
Free 60 day (limited courses) courtesy for Verizon Wireless customers
I am grateful that our cell phone provider, Verizon wireless, teamed up with Shaw Academy to provide it's customers access to a 60 day (limited course) free trial with no credit card required. As a now single income family and having a junior in high school it's more important than ever to increase my skill set to gain any advantage to help get a new job (when businesses are able to hire again) and adding skills to help my son add to his new resume. I was extremely happy that they offered a Excel course. I've been working with Excel for over 15 years in various capacities but have never had full training so my knowledge is lacking in the more complex skill areas. In addition I also signed up for a couple photography courses and a beginners guitar course. The negatives I have found are the cost monthly to continue after my trial is done is around $45-69, in addition some courses have "tool kits" that provide extra knowledge & notes but they vary in cost from $35-45, some courses you have to pay to take your final exam to get your certificate, there isn't an option to start the Excel course on the actual modules that I need so I have to start from a beginners level for my first 30 days and then I'll be able to do the second module before my 60 day trial is up but I won't be able to finish the other modules I really need. The photography course I signed up for is a 32 lesson course and they only allow you to take 2 lessons per week for every course (which shouldn't be limited like that as they are 1 hour recorded webinars-so you should be able to complete the courses at your own pace) so unfortunately I will only be able to complete half the course. But I will take any knowledge I can gain while I can. Again, I'm still very grateful for this opportunity and I rated the stars based on what I would rate as if I was a paying customer.
Very well presented and taught.was able to understand as concept made clear
I love the system..its really convinient for me most especially the preveledge of rescheduling classes ...it's really a big oppurtunity for me and also very affordable ... really love this e-learning innovation..... keep it up @ shawacademy
Too many emails sent out daily. All I need is the reminder class starts in one hour. Today I got about ten emails and a few of them were duplicated.
i find the class very ok but the problem i have wit the class is there is no room for interaction, so if u should miss a point thats all i dont know how to go about it, once again good job from shaw academy keep it up
Thank you!
This is awesome! I am taking advantage of this opportunity! Thanks to verizon!
Agree, there should not be a limitation on the number of classes per week.
I am enjoying Learning with shawnacademy
Shaw Academy is the way forward for online learning, from flexibility in lecture schedule to mail reminders sent to keep one up to date with lecture time. Lecture video available for download with ease is another special thing that is available if peradventure you miss anything during the course of lecture. Easy and understandable lecture system.
Enjoying Digital Marketing on free first time.
Thumbs up for Shaw academy.SCAMMERS
As I said in another fake review, avoid these scammers. They will take money they are not entitled to, using dodgy one click purchases on their pages and making it near impossible to cancel. Their sales practices lack any ethics, trading standards should be shutting them down.
SCAMMERS. AVOIDThese reviews are all fake. Only reviews before 17 Apr are real and all were negative. This company will rip you off. Difficult cancellations that they ignore and still charge you. Courses that are pre-recorded from years ago. Don't be another of their victims.
My first online class and it was a marvelous experience।। Love to complete the 1st session..
Course too good,useful if we use in our life
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.
Class was great, lesson were explained clearly.interaction was limited but lesson was easily understood I loved it. I didn't like that I was not refunded my money as I accidentally purchased the toolkit though but class was good otherwise.
Yes, you should be able to take as many classes per week as you want.
