Brilliant service. Definitely a great value for money, and very fast feedback after the final examination. Would definitely recommend it to anyone considering enrolling on a course with Online Academies.

“Quick, basic course, not worth £199.99 ”

★★☆☆☆

written by studentanimal on 17/04/2014

I purchased an animal psychology course through groupon, i was bit hesitant as there was No Contact Number or Head office details on the online academies web page, and could not find any more info. for £39.00 a multiple choice questions test, thats ok a bit of basic knowledge. I completed the course with in 2 days, at completing all the 12 lessons, you are asked if you wish to take a final assesment for a level 3 animal psychology certificate of achievement for additional £30 when bought within 24 hours, which goes to £50 after the 24hr period ??????. a bit questionable and did not risk putting my credit card details in. Course content ok test produced by proprofs.com free online quiz school again questionable.

“Great way to study.”

★★★★★

written by Alex18a on 14/04/2014

Easy way to study - fitted in well with my job and family. Managed to work through the modules quickly and was able to spend longer on my final test. I felt challenged enough to feel a real sense of pride when I receive the email saying I had passed with Distinction.

“Convenient & Fast”

★★★★★

written by Lilyana342 on 31/03/2014

The Teaching Assistant Level 3 Diploma was full of all the information you need as a TA. I found the course very informative. If you have any questions, you get a reply very quickly. I found the course fairly straight forward to complete, but that could be because I already work in a school. The main plus point for me, was that you could 'Save' the final exam, and return later with more comments. Perfect for people that do not have one big bulk of time. (I did not know you could do this to the final exam when I took the course, so I wanted to let people know.) There are a few spelling mistakes, which worried me as to the authenticity of the course, but I received my grade & certificate very quickly. All in all, a brilliant course to invest in.

“Special Educational Needs Level 3”

★★★★☆

written by Stacy96 on 21/03/2014

Course and content was well presented and easy to follow. Activities were appropriate and assessment was relevant. Finalisation of course was on time. Certification procedure requires work and does not instyill confidence in the organisation.

“Child Psychology Level 4”

★★★★★

written by GuthrieHandley on 14/03/2014

I'm a psychotherapist in private practice and I'm always on the look out for good CPD opportunities and this course fitted well in terms of its flexibility and content. I bought the course through GroupOn so it offered incredible value which was important for me as CPD can be really expensive. The course was varied and interesting. I studied some of the material before but found plenty to get my teeth into. I found myself wanting to research some of the material further. I found the end of unit tests fairly straightforward but the final exam was more demanding which I really welcomed. It was a great way to really consolidate my learning. Overall I enjoyed being able to dip in and out the course with now deadlines to complete it within a deadline. Nice and relaxed learning which is just the way I like it!

“fantastic, I'm on top of the world”

★★★★★

written by djones85 on 08/03/2014

I studied level 4 diploma child psychology, I compelted the course in 7 weeks with fantastic support from my tutors. The course information was very informative and I was able to gain extra knowledge through links. I emailed tutors a few times, I had replies within the hour. My final assignment was marked within 3 days and I am over the moon with my result of distinction and feedback from tutor was brilliant and very encouraging. I highly recommend this course it is fascinating and now I have O.A.Dip ( child psychology) after my name, absolutely amazing. Thankyou online academies and stonebridge for all the support.

“Definitely Worth while”

★★★★★

written by bexyemo on 05/03/2014

After researching the course and reading reviews I was in 2 minds about how I would find the course. I started and finished the course in 7 weeks. The course was really straight forward and I didn't need assistance from a tutor at all. When I finished the course I was told I would have to wait 7-10 days for a result however 4 days later I was notified of my passing and level I acheived. The course is hard work don't get me wrong it isn't a walk in the park however if you are prepared to put studying in to it and hard work passing is very attainable. I would recommend the course and after such a positive experience definitely do another.

“worth doing”

★★★★★

written by gossage1 on 05/03/2014

I am already in the teaching profession but have been living abroad for many years. This course is full of useful information necessary to become part of a teaching team in the UK. It does not just teach ,perhaps the more obvious topics such as numeracy and literacy, but it also outlines different educational acts, different bodies that help children with special educational needs and such like. What I really liked is how it underlines how important it is for pupils to become 'independent learners'. Being able to study how long and when you want is a real plus. There are a few grammar and spelling mistakes though which let the course down. They may be typing errors, but even so need to be corrected. All in all an informative and enjoyable course.

“Child psychology course”

★★★★★

written by J.Hogan on 02/03/2014

I found this course easy to use with online academies. I was able to log in and immediately see my course details and which stage I had got to. I really liked the tests at the end of each module as it helped me to see if I had gained enough understanding of the topics I had read. I did need to contact a tutor and they emailed me back answering my questions. I found that I was able to complete the course in four weeks which was good. I found the material to be really interesting and well written, it was explained fully and enabled me to grasp the context. I would recommend the course and company. I found that the end test was hard to include all I wanted to answer my questions as there was a small word count for these and had to cut down my answers very much to just the fine details which meant that some information I would have liked to include such as research I was not able to however I passed my course. I have enjoyed this course and hope that it will help me while working with children putting things I have learned into practise at work as a child minder.

“TA Level 3 Diploma Online Academies”

★★★★☆

written by on 27/02/2014

The Online Academies Level 3 Teaching Assistant Diploma is a good course. I found that I could go at my own pace, which I enjoyed. The online material was very informative, the quiz at the end of each module helped me to focus on certain bits of information. I spotted a few spelling/grammar errors which could be improved, and the quiz answers are very specific about wording. I found my final assessment challenging and interesting. It took me a little while to go through each question thoroughly using information from the modules provided, but the space for the answers allowed a bit more creativity because they are marked by a personal tutor. I would like to have known more about the final assessment before buying this course because there is no information about what is included in this module. When I approached module 10 I felt like I was diving into a sea of unknown...What I found out is that module 10 is made up of 31 questions that focus on all of the material in the previous modules. Overall I would recommend this course to a friend. It was value for money- particularly as I bought it from 'Groupon' which made it cheaper.

“Child psychology online course”

★★★★★

written by on 24/02/2014

I really enjoyed doing this course and found it really interesting. I found the end tests helpful to make sure I had learnt enough from each module. I enjoyed the behaviour, the importance of the sibling and fathers role. Also found the maternal deprivation part really interesting. I found I learnt alot and will keep an eye out for more courses that will take my interest.The lay out and instructions were clear and easy to follow and was good that there was no time limit and could do it when it best suits you. I found the evenings best for me and did an hour or so most nights.

“Teaching Assistant Diploma”

★★★★★

written by Wordsworth_Mummy on 23/02/2014

An excellent course, with an interesting variety of modules. The final assessment is tough, but if you have studied the course material thoroughly then you should have no trouble. I gained a distinction, which I am thrilled with. I would not hesitate to recommend these courses to anyone - they are excellent, but do remember that they are qualifications and you have to work hard to get the rewards.

“Veterinary support assistant”

★★★★★

written by Barrow224 on 10/02/2014

Information packed course but very easy to follow. Final exam is hard but if you have studied the modules you will be fine. As the final exam is not multi choice you actually feel like you have made a real achievement as it is not just guess work. Would highly recommend onlineacademies to others, easy to access, easy to follow and value for money.

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.
