Review about: Club L London
a dress
i was waiting for some shoes to try the dress on, so discovered on the 13th day that the dress i bought had a fault, a rupture on the side at the bottom, they have no customer service whatsoever, totally ignorant to my emails, it takes weeks to respond to a query, ended up with a faulty dress, £150.00 wasted, lots of stress and unhappiness. will never buy from them again and will take them to small court claims to compensate me for the damage caused emotionally and financially
Review about: GATE8 Luggage
lovely experience shopping from Nadia
I was going to travel to London on a business trip so I needed to get a travel kit to pack my personal effect. I needed to buy one in time for my trip so I went online in search of a store that sells affordable durable travel bags. I came across Gate8 a company that claims to distribute cabin bags across the world and I loved what I saw on their page. I placed an order for a travel kit and it was freely shipped to me within 3 days in time for my trip, it was quite affordable too. I am happy with their products and will shop from them again whenever I need their products. I recommend Gate8 to anyone looking to buy quality travel kits, hygiene kits, cabin mates, and many more.
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……………

Hence, please do not accrue that kind any benefits or any other gains are associated with it. Neither do I encourage or discourage anyone from exploring, canvassing from any point.found 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. 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.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?
