“no contact, activating voucher failure”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Fanning162 on 20/04/2022

I bought a voucher through Groupon for an online course but the voucher code is not working, and the company doesnt respond on my email. according to Groupon i should contact the company. The sale of the vouchers seems a sham. It's an empty shell.

“Medicinal herb diploma”

★★★★★

written by JaniceCotton on 21/05/2021

I've never liked studying in the classroom full of students so chose to do this online course. It let's you study at your own pace unlike classroom studying where you have to attend classes at given times. The course was easy to understand and after each module there was a test to be sure you learnt what you were taught. You can contact your tutor at anytime. I'm pleased to say I got my diploma with a distinction. I would recommend online academies to all.

“Yoga Teacher Training”

★★★★★

written by on 16/10/2020

I have been actively teaching holistic disciplines, including yoga, for over 25 years. I needed a refresher course and choose Online Academy, who did not disappoint me. Each unit was structured to provide the appropriate amount of knowledge and motivation to move on to the next. The course covered several aspects of yoga such as: philosophy, asanas, breathing, meditation, planning lessons, various ways in setting up a business, the benefits of yoga in today's society, the importance of being a competent and good teacher and your contribution to the national standards of yoga. The course was carefully planned to equip the student with the, fundamental knowledge base, to be an excellent teacher. I have thoroughly enjoyed the course and looking forward to New courses.

“New Career!”

★★★★★

written by Claref414 on 12/10/2020

Have really enjoyed the course and feel really proud of myself to have achieved this result. I did not think that on line learning would be for me but I have been really surprised at the quality of the resource materials and the ease with which I have learnt the subject and am really looking forward to the future with a new career. Getting started was so simple and the support from the team was brilliant, filled you with confidence from the get go. The cost for the course was very good,resources was reflected in that, good quality and arrived very quick so started only a few days later although it was all on line for immediate access. Had I known how easy it was going to be to enroll on the course and choose a different career, I would have done it years ago. Cant wait to do another course when I have completed my practical. I cant praise the Online Academies enough, BRILLIANT!!!!

“Worth the effort”

★★★★☆

written by Bertie321L on 03/07/2020

I recently completed Child Psychology level 4 and gained a distinction. The reading material was good and my understanding around the subject has greatly improved. The site was easy to navigate and it was easy to go back over parts you had forgotten. The price of this course was excellent and definitely great value. I would have liked a bit more case study examples. The theoretical content was good.

“Foot Health Practitioner Course”

★★★★★

written by DesmondMacLeod27 on 03/12/2019

The course was really goo and there was plenty of support for both the theory and the practical training. The knowledge of the trainer was superb and I could not have asked for a better person. He was so encouraging and supportive and I feel I was given the best start in helping me with my new career. Highly recommended. The other participants were great and so supportive and it was fun spending the week with them. Can't say there was anything I did not like about the course. I enjoyed all of it and have learnt so much.

“Forensics”

★★★★☆

written by Nehemiahn257 on 17/10/2019

A very interesting course examining the history and procedures involved in forensic science. It is good that you can proceed at your own pace as some parts are much more in depth plus there was a possibility to extend the course once completed. Only slight niggle was that I never got a reply to a question I sent to the email address supplied for course assistance.

“Grief and bereavement counselling ”

★★★★★

written by DeeganLarson on 18/08/2019

Was work at your pace, in-depth course. So informative, I liked the format, the test at end of each module. It was nice to have the option to extend the course and get extra qualification, which I did. Value for money. I would definitely recommend them for courses. Am not looking what to do next

“Home online study at your own pace”

★★★★★

written by hzEdwards276 on 20/05/2019

I have just completed the online academies Dog Grooming course. I found the course interesting, easy to follow and was able to donat my own pace. After completion and passing all 12 units to gain the O.A.Dip I was give the option to take a further exam of 21 questions which were essay style answers. This took more additional reading etc. But was worth it. I passed with Distinction and now have a level 3 qualification ready to start my own business. If you are working or have family commitments this is the ideal way to study and gain recognised qualifications. I would definitely use again to develop my career knowledge and certainly recommend this mode of learning.

I completed the Pilates instructor diploma. It was a great course and covered the most important elements of Pilates. I also found the pictures and write up for the various exercises very good. I do feel it could have included more around the delivery of a class, class planning, class themes etc.

“Excellent course, easily followed.”

★★★★☆

written by bmCallahan477 on 08/04/2019

I have just completed and passed footheakth care practitioner diploma level 3. I found the course very good, I only had to contact a tutor twice but when I did I had a response within minutes. Good coverage of all areas, and I wasn’t expecting the added extra and information on starting your own business, market and business plan information which was invaluable. Highly recommend

“SEN Advanced Diploma ”

★★★★★

written by Barnettrr238 on 28/01/2019

This is the second course I have done with on line academies. The first one was a Level 3 Teaching Assistant. Both have been excellent. I am a working, busy mum of two so found studying at my own pace a massive advantage. Both courses give you a year to complete. I would definitely recommend doing the final test at a small cost because you can put all the knowledge you a learnt from the units into practice. Excellent course, I have learnt so much!

“Useful and Informative”

★★★★★

written by 65Clark on 13/11/2018

People often ask online whether these are recognised formal qualifications or not. My understanding is that technically, they are not - but whilst they may not QUALIFY you to do something, they certainly TEACH you a lot about it. I have foud the content is often interesting, challenging and pretty substantial. Whilst they can't make you an engineer or an accountant, for example, my Diplomas and Certificates from OA have often given me an edge when going for promotions. Employers certainly take note about what you've bothered to teach yourself. I like the fact that you can pace yourself and the courses do not lock-out or freeze-out after a certain time period. The actual content is surprisingly good for those who want to scoff at such distance earning providers. I have often found myself becoming genuinely more knowledgeable and competent in a given field after studying here - and there are often good discounts to be had online.

“Animal psychology diploma”

★★★★★

written by SarahJBailey on 05/10/2018

A well written and informative course. Easy to follow and complete. Great that it can be completed in your own time, allows for day to day activities to be undertaken and study to fit in when it can.

★★★★★

written by on 07/09/2018

I was very pleased to undertake this course. It has motivated me to learn more about psychology. The assessments were at the right level and the final exam had useful feedback which I benefited from. The material throughout is presented clearly.

I have been enrolled in a number of courses being offered at online academies, and also started some new ones. I have now encountered problems with their system and cannot progress from Unit 1 to the others although my score was 100%. The button when passing a test doesn't go green anymore, and neither the grade nor the score does show up anymore. I have sent a couple of emails to the "tutors" but not received any sign of acknowledgment of the emails or any reply. There is no phone number where you could get in touch. Has anyone else experienced similar problems? What can you do to receive a reply from these people?

I will say this until I'm blue in the face; this Company are very poor and most of their courses are just question and answers. Do not waste your time or money on them. If you want to do an online course got to somewhere like Stonebridge - basically you get what you pay for!

Hi, not sure if this will help but I initially experienced problems signing in to my online academies course and could not get them to reply to my email requests for help. I could not find a contact telephone number either, however, I had purchased my course via "Groupon" and after a lot of correspondence and requesting my money back, the problem was eventually solved and I have not experienced any problems since. If you paid for your course by credit card you may be able to ask them to intervene too. I know how frustrated you feel and it's so disappointing that online academies don't fix their technical problems, because when it works it's a great way to study.

I did this course - managed to get on line and complete it okay, but it is a load of rubbish, just yes and no answers. I would ask for my money back and not bother - do not use Online Academies for anything they are a total rip off. Stonebridge are expensive but I've found them to be the best online course providers.

Where are the online tutors that are advertised as being available to assist when needed? I have submitted 3 email plus my final exam and no one has replied. The response time for the tutor is within 24 hours supposedly. My only guess would be that they don't have accurate time pieces. I actually have three other courses on here that I need to get started on or get refunded for.

I've purchased this pack on groupon and just completed the Psychology Diploma. It suited me because I am interested in Psychology but haven't ever had the chance to act on this interest. I enjoyed reading the materials and liked the way it was set up in different units. The questions are easy as they come directly from the text so it is very hard to fail and if you do you can just resit. My only concern is whether or not the Diploma will be of use on a CV.
