Review about: Shaw Academy
Sports and Exercise Nutrition
Really enjoying the course and the content is good. The free trial period was excellent with very detailed lessons that felt modern and up to date. The summary notes were very detailed with basically every word the lecture said so you didn’t have to go through the video to find info.
However, after module 1, the content completely changed. It was a different course tutor, who was speaking like it was to a class and she was answering their questions which I found quite annoying. They were also referring to different parts of the course with completely different names as were detailed on the website e.g foundation course when referring to module 1. The summary notes had minimal detail and basically exactly the same as the webinar slides.
The company is quite annoying as they just bombard you with reminder emails and texts all the time which I had to turn off.
It’s a bit of a money grabbing scheme as you have to pay for every single assessment at the end of each module (£40) and a final certificate (£50) at the end of the course. They give you discount initially towards the start of the course for assessments, but these disappear towards the end so becomes very expensive.
I accidentally clicked on the module toolkit which unlocked absolutely nothing, but when I emailed to ask for a refund, they refused as they had apparently already sent me the content.
Overall, I’m happy with what I’ve learnt so far, but would not complete another course with this company again due to hidden costs and how different the content is once you start paying!
