Centre of Excellence Reviews 

I have taken several courses in the last few years. All have been very well put together and contain the most useful information.
I am retired but still a carer. The current course I am attempting gives me escape and keeps my mind working. I will carry on finding courses I like when I complete the current one.
They are a great way to enhance your education and l am sure give you job satisfaction.

Course materials are easy to follow and detailed.
I like that you can do the courses in your own time and at your own pace. Really suits my learning style.

I love studying through Centre of Excellence. The online courses fit perfectly around your everyday life as you have no time limit. There are so many interesting courses to choose from. I wish I could do them all. I feel like I've invested well in choosing the courses I have as I am learning so much.

I have been doing courses with the Centre of Excellence for 4 years now. Having a lifelong disability it has helped me to further my passion for learning where other avenues cannot.

I had a great experience studying with the Centre of Excellence. The course content was clear, well-structured, and easy to follow, which helped me understand and remember the key points. The materials were engaging and informative, making learning enjoyable throughout. I would highly recommend the Centre of Excellence to anyone looking for high-quality online learning.

I am currently studying the Menopause awareness course. I think it is really important that we understand what is going on within our bodies, and how we can help ourselves throughout this transition.
The course is really informative, easy to understand and not too much 'Jargen' to learn.
The course is easy to follow, each section has a small assessment at the end, which allows you to re-enforced your knowledge.
All the course is done online, and help is available if you need it.
The course prices are good, although sometimes you can get a bargain, if they have a good deal going on.
I have done several course now, and have enjoyed everyone of them. I'm not overly educated, and stuggle to learn but these courses are easy to follow and learning at your own pace means you can fit it in around life, work and other commitments.
I would definitely recommend.

Love the course I'm doing. Definitely worth the money spent. Very informative. You can learn at your own pace, I don't feel rushed at all. Anyone I have spoken to has been lovely!
I definitely recommend looking at the courses available

I love revisiting CoE for further learning. The modules are small sized chunks of learning, which suit my learning style and can be paused and restarted at any time. I love the fact that I can work through the course at my own pace without any external pressure. The cost, the content and the continued support makes my learning journey accessible and fun. Thank you team.

I am really enjoying the Mentalism course so far. The lessons are clear, interesting and easy to follow, and I especially enjoyed learning about inference, cold reading, Barnum statements and the ideomotor response. The course is helping me understand more about human behaviour, observation and communication, and I can already see how these skills could improve my confidence when interacting with people.

I just finished a course in proofreading and editing and have started another in copywriting. Both have been very helpful and I could not recommend them both enough.

I love that these courses aren't time limited and that the assessments are challenging but no pressure. There's an impressive range of topics, my favourites being history, and though I think the courses full price are too much for most people, at the regularly reduced rates, I think they're very good. I find the portal thingy easy to navigate and markings and customer service are both quick and personal.

Yes, I love the studies. I took the Hypnosis Practitioner and Diploma Course. Now I am concentrating on the EFT course and I can admit my clients benefit from my studies with CoE. Thanks again.

Courses are very informative and easy to use. Highly recommend centre of excellence

I have not only learned alot in this course but have refreshed my knowledge! Loved it! Would recommend to others!

I have just completed the Heath and Social Care Diploma, this course was great, very addictive! The modules were set out clearly, and easy to understand. I could study at my own pace and each section was marked quickly. I look forward to my next course.

I’ve really enjoyed my learning experience with the Centre of Excellence. I am in my 40’s and after years in admin, decided to change my career. There is a huge variety of courses and being able to complete these on your phone makes learning so flexible. I highly recommend the Centre of Excellence.

First time using Centre of Excellence & thoroughly enjoyed my course. Easy to create an account, & a very broad range of topics to choose from. I was after a specific course to add to my existing skill set as a qualified complementary health care professional, & they offered an accredited course. The course materials were very detailed, well written, & enjoyable to work through with assessments throughout. The course was also very affordable.

Review Title: Misleading "Diploma" marketing and automated AI grading—Avoid.

After 7 years of online education, I have reached a breaking point with the Centre of Excellence.

I am writing this to warn prospective students: these courses are CPD (Continuing Professional Development) only, NOT regulated qualifications. Despite this, the provider markets them using the word "Diploma," which is misleading to anyone looking for credible certification.

​My recent experience has highlighted systemic issues that I have now escalated to my MP:
​No Human Assessors: It is now clear that assessments are handled by AI with a pre-set "bank of responses." There is no genuine human tutor evaluation.

The Grading Absurdity: As someone who rigorously checks my coursework against multiple professional AI models, I have been penalized by the COE system because my correct answers did not match their rigid, outdated course text.

​Outdated Material: It became apparent that much of their source material is scraped from wiki pages and google search tools, and seriously just needs wiped and let professional educators actually educate people, i was deeply traumatised from abuse when i almost sang and danced and praised this site as i had been told during abuse that i had zero intellect etc and now seven years on, i can see clearly now and therefore i call for accountability.

​Lack of Transparency: Their marketing creates a false sense of security, leading students to believe that if they just get a certificate and insurance (like from Westminster or the CMA accreditation via membership or partial city and guilds level two ), they are fully qualified. It is not that straightforward.

​I have submitted extensive evidence—including email threads and screen grabs —to my MP’s office. I am pushing for the Ministry of Education to review these practices, as this is fundamentally a disservice to learners.

​For those looking for quality education in coaching or holistic therapies, I urge you to look at platforms like Udemy (now acquired by Coursera), Lead Academy, or Open College Ireland, the Iphm and Fht future learn, open university,arden university/college, edx via their app

​Please, avoid the "AI bloat" at the Centre of Excellence. If you are looking for professional accreditation, look elsewhere.
