project management course
I have enjoyed the content very much, but the constant plethora of emails, texts, AND calls is too much. I don't need to be reminded so frequently and from so many streams about my course. There are way too many ads and money traps. Additionally, I find it strange that you cannot take 2 lessons in a day. You cannot fast forward, rewind, pause, etc. most lectures even though they are not live. I had an extra hour tonight so I wanted to do 2 lectures but the system kept saying "error" when I tried to reschedule the lesson.
Excel
I found the modules very informative & easy to follow.
However, the only issue I have is when you receive an email stating to do the assignment and the quiz and when you click on the links there is no assignment or quiz.
Also, I purchased the Tool Kit and it will not let me open it.Graphic Design course
The overall graphics design class is really good! They are very detailed and give great explanations woth different options of achieving one goal.
There are several emails that get sent to my email, which can get overcrowding. They are recordings with no actual person to take on the lesson but there is an automated botSEO Digital Marketing
You have to keep in mind this is an enrichment course. So far it is informative yet deceptive in it's sales model, duh.
Buyer Beware. It is more a guided learning experience than a classroom environment. You have to do a lot of external research to grasp the concepts quickly skimmed over in each half hour course. I like it tho. I am learning skills for my business others lack, happy customer.Nutrition Course
I purchased the course and like most people delayed my start date. I wished there was a video explaining how Shaw Academy works with all the detail. If there is one then it should be sent ASAP once payment has been made. First, I finally logged in and set up my first class because there was no on-demand or self-paced option. I prefer that option. I did not know I had to sign up for actual class sessions. Second, what I got instead were emails upselling me to buy toolkit. Well I thought I purchased that when I bought the course. Nope. So two things at purchase that should have been clearly communicated.
Now if you don't attend a class session, especially the first class, at scheduled time you will get emails and text messages indicating your missed class and that it was mandatory. That is annoying. I assumed I would get a replay and be able to progress forward. No that is not an option. You will have to attend a lessons like you are in school vs going at it self-paced. There is no way around that.
I just finished my first lesson and it was great. Lets see how this goes.Graphic Design
I've just begun the Graphic Design class. I'm not sure I will be able to continue the lessons but so far the instructor has been inspirational, informative and helpful. I find the idea of Graphic Design rather intimidating. This class is helping me learn and I appreciate that very much.
Diploma
Great experience and very informative!

I've only had one lesson. So far, I am impressed with the content of the lesson. I feel like I will learn so much in this module. However, I am unimpressed with the constant emails and text messages. I am very organized. I do not need reminders. Also, the suggestive sales and upgrades annoy me. I purchased a Toolkit because I thought I needed it, yet I cannot even access/open it. I feel like I was trapped into buying something I did not need.
I love it. Very articulate and hug enriching.
A very big thank you.I've only had one lesson. So far, I am impressed with the content of the lesson. I feel like I will learn so much in this module. However, I am impressed with my educator but she's abit fast.
This is a great opportunity to learn new things! Thank you
Shaw Academy has amazing range of learning scope for enthusiasts!! It has detailed materials necessary for each domain. I am very much happy with their content. It has a very organized and up-to-date knowledge oriented module.

Simple way to learn and gain knowledge
Excellent and very comprehensive training
SHAW ACADEMY LESSONS ARE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, VERY EDUCATIVE. THEY ARE ON-DEMAND COURSES ON TRENDING SOCIETAL TOPICS THAT TRADITIONAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTION DON'T TEACH THEIR STUDENTS. THE ENITRE WORLD NOW REVOLVES AROUND SKILLS AND CERTIFICATIONS MORE THAT ACADEMIC CERTIFICATES. SO, ADDING A SKILL TO MY ACADEMIC CERTIFICATES FROM SHAW ACADEMY IS REALLY AWESOME. AT SHAW ACADEMY, YOU CAN LEARN WITH COMFORT FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. YOU CAN SCHEDULE AND RESCHEDULE COURSES TO SUIT YOU AVAILABILITY. WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT IS THAT ALL THE COURSES ARE VERY INTERESTING MAKING ONE TEMPTED TO DO ALL OF THEM. SHAW ACADEMY IS REALLY MEETING UP WITH THE CHANGING NEEDS OF THE SOCIETY AND IS TRULY A GREAT PLACE TO ACQUIRE NEW SKILLS. I LOVE SHAW ACADEMY AND I PRAY IT KEEPS UP WITH THE GOOD WORK ON PROVIDING BETTER LESSONS. BRAVO SHAW ACADEMY. THUMBS UP.
It's a very best teaching platform
Your academy has made life easier for me. Shaw has given me the platform to learn digital marketing at an affordable price. Your classes are interesting and fun. Very interactive. I love Shaw academy . Great work guys.
Feel so excited with the knowledge I've gained in just one lesson! So sure I would have improved so much by the end of this module. Thank you Shaw Academy for this great opportunity.
It was an interesting class, but materials are needed for reference.
I'm taking the social media marketing module and I find it very interesting. I'm already quite advanced in digital media marketing skills, and I find it very useful to have this recap and understand the new trends.
I too have had one lesson. The lesson was great. It covered enough ground that I learned good things without overwhelming me with too much information I can't use. But I'm also very irritated by all the emails and the constant commercials to buy something. I signed up for a FREE, "unlimited" trial for this to see how it would work. But clearly, this system is not unlimited as I can't move at my own pace. I have to wait for the class schedule to let me into the class that I am trying, which means I can't even finish the class in the free trial period. That's not unlimited. You should take that off your advertising as it is false advertising. The class was good enough that I'm going to give it some more chances, but really...stop with the commercials.
Shaw Academy is the best! Abby has been a great teacher, explaining the concepts in each lesson thoroughly and applying them to real world examples. I especially love the application of our learning to the athletic/exerciser population. She is very clear with her lessons and goes through the subject matter in an informative manner, while using explanations that can be understood by students who are unfamiliar with the terms. Her lessons are captivating and the perfect length - I never feel like it's dragging on nor do I find myself zoning out. I would definitely recommend Shaw Academy to others!
I am really enjoying every class, it wasn't boring at all, to be honest i have introduced more than 4 people now to join expressing how I've learnt a lot from you. I am thinking of signing for more classes, just because you guys have been very good. hope to introduce more people to join. Thanks for this great opportunity to learn & grow better.
So far I have been unable to watch The Trading course live. There is a glitch that means I can see the slides but can't hear the instructor. I am only able to watch the recordings.
I liked the content of my first class very much. However, I am uncomfortable with the constant emails, notifications, reminders and sales promotions.
I am taking the Photoshop class since I have been struggling to learn it on my own. Just finished my second lesson and have already learned so much about color enhancement and using layers. My only issue is that my computer keeps buffering/stopping during the live class and I had to restart or watch recording. I also wish that I could just move forward with the modules at my own pace since I don't want an ECertificate, only using this for my own self improvement. The moderator is awesome, the teaching is at a good pace, everything is explained simply and expertly.
i am empress for this courses
I feel great starting this class as I know I'm on the right track. It's awesome and I look forward to a more interesting and fulfilled. experience.
A helpful and interesting module, the way of explaining is very useful and important. I would recommend others to attend too.
Very interesting course and quite informative. I like my course instructor, she is really good at it. Keep it up!
It's worth of time. It's good opportunity to study.

Graphic Design
The classes are easy to follow along. I would recommend this course.
Starting a business
This is a valuable venue for those individuals who wants to broaden their knowledge in various fields.
Excel-20
I just finished my first lesson in Shaw academy about Excel-20, and I can already say that it was WORTH IT! This is actually my first time being in an online course but since the instructions are so BEGINNER FRIENDLY I did not had any difficulties in using their app or website. My instructor also had a VERY CREATIVE and INFORMATIVE way of teaching which had me engaged throughout the lesson.
I would like to add that overall I AM VERY GRATEFUL for this online education and would love to enroll to more of their classes (if only I have the financial capability to do so). Nevertheless, I will surely share this to my family and friends so that they could also experience the HIGH QUALITY TEACHING that I have experienced at Shaw Academy.
I had my first class in this course, and I find it very informative. I've been using Excel for years but still I was able to acquire new tips on how to use it more easier. I just want to check on the toolkit I paid which is 299 that was already charged from my card, and yet a reminder keeps on popping to purchase. Please let me know the status of this purchase, and how can I get what I have paid.
Thank you and am looking forward to my next lesson.Lifetime
My experience with Shaw Academy was fun , interactive and I found them very approachable. Clear communication on all levels including beautifull visual lessons. Great variety of subjects to choose from.
My only concern is there is too much notifications but other than that small issues I'm definitely satisfied and highly recommend Shaw Academy to anyone wanting to enhance or further their career.Course Toolkit
Shaw academy is doing a good. Am really enjoying the classes. Thank you, keep on with the good job.
4 week trail
I have no comments in regards to the content of the course itself only in regards to how the website works. It has pop-up windows asking me to buy stuff, the scheduling of the classes works in a very strange way, and once the class starts it's confusing how to access the current class (it kept on taking me back to the first lesson which I have already finished). This all can be very intuitive as others do it right but shawacademy is currently a very frustrating experience and I've spend more time trying to navigate the website then listening to classes.
viral marketing
Positive : really interesting courses, information with good examples, nice teacher-presenter
Negative : lack of real interactionProject management diploma course
Learning alone is not adequate to get a solid grip on PM so i expect real life illustrations as well. I have been attending free trial classes and this is how i am seeing the course so far.
Positives: detailed illustrations
Easy to understand
Negatives: lacking emphasis on topics
Lack of interactions
FastPositive : really interesting course, nice exemples and good speaker, really informative
Negative : lack of interactionEasy to understand
My experience learning from shaw academy has been wonderful. I am grateful to shaw academy and the educator. Thanks so much.
I am not supposed to be paying for anything as it said free class on my phone and all i had to do was sign up. I am not buying anything and i am in no place financially where i can. I was looking forward to doing online classes
I just started my first lesson with web development and I must say I pleases. Easy to understand and since I have the time now, why not build a new skill and improve myself and skills. Thank you Shaw Academy!
you are sending way to many emails
Easy to understand.. Clear vocals and illustration
It is a very nice course software. I had an amazing experience at Shaw Academy. It is also looks in form of a live (life) class.
Free 4 week trial
The courses seem to be nicely put together but the selection of courses is not quite varied enough. Hopefully that will change over time.
The progressive modules are well thought of however. But I found the pricing to be a bit steep, especially for lower income groups and countries, and especially considering that you have to pay extra for toolkits and the like.
Discovering that toolkits needed to be purchased was a disappointment. I think this kind of information needs to be clearly stated from the start.
I also found the constant popping up of messages to get you to purchase the toolkits or membership extremely intrusive and almost gave up on trying out courses even for the free trial.
Likewise, the number of messages landing in my inbox and phone are far too many and make me want to unsubscribe.
I haven't tried the app and prefer watching lessons on my computer but I found the website was not very easy to navigate. I had difficulty looking for and finding courses that were of interest to me. The search system definitely needs improvement. The same goes for the dashboard where I couldn't get to see the two courses I signed up for at first. I spend quite some time figuring out how things work.
Lastly, having to set a fixed time and day for the classes seemed frustrating at first but that does increase motivation to attend the class without postponing it even though you are able to reschedule.Photography
Photography course is very detailed and easy to understand. I am enjoying it.
SEO Digital Marketing
I am familiar with the content and online learning services. I do these for fun and enrichment. so for those complaining, I can't imagine what your expectations were. Anyway, content is good so far, the set up is a bit tacky with all the ads but hey, its affordable and interesting if you have reasonable expectations. Godspeed.
Project Management course
Excited about the opportunity for furthering my education.
The course itself so far is pretty fast paced; I like to take notes and due to the pace, am not able to do so before the next slide.
Would appreciate less email/text communication...it’s a bit much
