Must try harder, new courses required

Courses are OK, but nothing earth shattering. Content is light as new courses seem to be few and far between. Please, more content and more varied courses would go a long way.

Looking forward to new content being delivered.

The “life membership” experience

Initially, It was a good experience, but after they convinced me to buy a “life membership” it went from bad to worse. All the course materials that were available and included initially by default now are charged extra. Lectures used to be live but now they are prerecorded. But the main issue is that people they convinced into buying a “life membership“ now get some sort of overview of the course instead of a real course, and we have to pay for course materials again despite their promises that “life membership” means all materials are included. Scam is the right word to describe this.

GALLO'S HUMOUR

So, like with many people, they took money that they shouldn't have taken from my account for about five months and I never got that money back and didn't authorise it, however... I had some personal upset to deal with at the time (end of 2020), I started the course and wasn't in the best headspace, therefore it was left, and money was taken from me, and eventually they just stopped taking...
I'm now ready to return to the courses, start and complete them. But I couldn't get into my account because I couldn't remember what email I had signed up with. I contacted and asked for help, and with some information shared with them they were able to tell me the email I registered with, one which I had created for that purpose, and then I discovered that the email account itself had been deactivated by my provider because of over six months of inactivity -- ridiculous, I know! I thought I'd create a new email account with same address, same handle, but it was already assigned to someone i.e. wasn't recycled yet, so that wasn't possible. I contacted Shaw Academy again and asked if there was any other way that they could help, and, with a screenshot of an old receipt and proof of my registered number, they were able to get me back into my account by changing my registered email address to the one I was contacting from. Credit where it's due - for this, very grateful. No overcomplications, no red tape BS, no nanny state shenanigans, no latex gloves treatment, just straight troubleshootin' help! Thank you! Thanks goes to Vincent in particular~ STAR!

STAY WITH IT, SHAW ACADEMY GOT YOU!

Great lesson, just wish there was more interaction between the professor and student. Sometimes, it feels a little bit one-sided because I can't get the help I need at the time I need it. For example, I have been stuck for two weeks trying to learn JavaScript...trying to understand what I am doing wrong??? The Help desk has been helpful, but I'm still struck...I WILL COMPLETE THIS DEGREE!!!! HAPPY TO BE HERE

I'm enjoying learning here at Shaw…

I'm enjoying learning here at Shaw Academy!

I some times get really sick so I can't keep up with the assignments at other schools. Here, I can take my time to understand the lessons, and reschedule classes. The free try again on the quiz and exams are great as well!

I would highly recommend Shaw Academy to my friends, family and co-workers!
