Certificate delay
I just finished a course with them and it's taking forever to get my certificate. I've tried reaching out to their customer service multiple times, but all I get are slow responses and meaningless apologies. Dealing with a company that can't get their act together and keep communication flowing is beyond frustrating.
Overpriced university courses
Don't bother spending your money on courses from big universities like MIT or Oxford. They're not really worth it, and you can usually find the same stuff for free on other websites. Plus, their customer service stinks and they're just in it for the cash. These courses are basically a money-making scheme, so you should be cautious and really consider if they're worth the hefty price tag.
Sustainability course enrollment
As someone who signed up for an online sustainability course, I gotta say I was pretty bummed about how it all went down. I was really looking forward to learning some top-notch stuff from a legit place like GetSmarter Oxford University. But man, was I let down when I found out the course material was old news and sometimes just plain wrong. It was a tough call, but I ended up pulling the plug on my enrollment.
Quick videos only
These videos are so short and seriously not helpful at all. There aren't even real teachers in them, just random tutors who make things complicated if you try to get a refund. What a total rip-off!
Certificate not received
I ordered my certificate a whole year ago and I'm still waiting for it! I even requested a digital copy, but they completely ignored me. They keep claiming they shipped it back in May of 2023, but I have yet to lay eyes on it anywhere!
AI course completion
The MIT AI course had some good stuff from the professors, but it really missed the mark when it came to personal interaction because there were just too many students. Plus, the platform wasn't very easy to use, the assignments took forever to get back, and some of the readings were outdated. Honestly, I wouldn't suggest taking this course because there's no clear syllabus and the platform has a lot of problems.
Oxford University course
I recently took a course from Oxford University through this platform and I have to say, the content was really great and I had a lot of fun with it. But let me tell you, stay away from anything else this company has to offer. Their support is just awful. They make up deadlines and always have excuses for why they can't get your certificate to you on time, or even at all. I've learned my lesson and I won't be using their services again. I'll definitely be spreading the word to others in my company about the bad experience I had with them.
Certificate Course Purchase
I bought this course expecting a lot, but honestly, it was pretty disappointing. Most of the stuff they taught was things I already knew. I had to teach myself a bunch of things they didn't cover. I only signed up for this course because they said I'd get a certificate at the end that would impress potential bosses. But it's been taking forever to get that certificate, and I'm starting to get really annoyed.
NUS UX Design course
Stay away from this platform! I signed up for the NUS UX Design course and it was a total disaster. The lectures were terrible, didn't have much substance, and didn't cover Figma, which was a big part of the work. The deadlines for assignments were messed up, causing a lot of unnecessary stress and confusion. Even though I finished the course in November, I still haven't gotten my certificate as of February. The constant delays and excuses from Get Smarter are just not okay. I spent $900 on this disappointing experience. It's been a letdown.
Certificate delivery issue
I was really let down by the service I got after I finished my course. I did my training at a top-notch place and I was hoping for top-notch service too. But man, it's been a mess trying to get my certificate. They sent it to the wrong addresses four times! And when it finally showed up at my place, the logo was printed upside down. They haven't been paying attention to the details at all, and they clearly don't care about making customers happy. This whole thing has really soured my view of the whole experience.
Online course
This online course was such a waste of my time and money, I can't even believe it. It was ridiculous how hard it was to get any help from the customer support - it felt like I was trying to pull teeth just to talk to someone. And the fact that supposedly top-notch universities are involved with this platform blows my mind because the service is just so bad. I wouldn't even suggest this to someone I really don't like.
