Complete waste of time. All the feedback is just copied and pasted with no helpful explanation. You are not given any sort of teaching to help you learn. I just keep getting it sent back to me and I'm finding it so overwhelming. It's not teaching me anything! One of the questions I was told was fine then after a couple of submissions, with no changes to that question all of a sudden it was now wrong. The marking is awful and when I've said I don't understand a question they just send the same copied and pasted reply back. I have no idea how I will ever pass.
(My account name is for privacy, I know it looks sus. 😅) Took 5 GCSE courses with OLC: - English Language: ''Jane' is a pronoun.'; explanation of clauses was incorrect; no procedural writing tasks set (the exam is ALL writing tasks). A private English teacher I hired compressed this entire course into a handful of classes for me, OLC dragged it out to a ~300 page textbook & an expensive course. - Physics: Tutor support was slow to respond (across all courses, this one just had the worst effect) and took many message exchanges spanning weeks at a time to cover a single topic. - Mathematics: CGP books offer better explanations and more procedural tasks, this course is a waste of time and money. - Business: Good course. Not great, but ok. - Psychology: Comprehensive course, not much useful content, but that's more the curriculum's fault than OLC's. Not worth it. CGP revision & practice guides cost: ~£150 for all 5 (~£30 each), less second hand. & AI tutor that responds instantly and comprehensively: free. (I used Grok, but ChatGPT likely works too.) OLC courses (which are the same thing just worse and with glacial tutor support): ~£2,000 Given the uselessness of the worst above-mentioned courses, I requested a partial refund for only 2 of the 5 courses. I was rudely denied this request multiple times, even after offering the support of a university-level tutor to give pointers to improve their English course. Don't waste your time and money, you can learn all of this much quicker, cheaper and in-depth through £30 textbooks, free AI tutors, and, if necessary: using your remaining saved capital to hire a private tutor. (Who will respond to you far sooner than 2-3 days later).
All time fail in all submissions. DO NOT RECOMMAND
Scammers. I signed up and paid to do the Level 3 Childcare Course, I had no support from my Tutor, I would send my work in to be marked and would get the same copy and paste answer where it was clear she hadn’t even looked at my work or the changes made. This meant I could not move forward at all with my assignments not being marked or passed. This carried on until the year was almost up, and they refused to give me an extension, said I would have to pay x amount for each month if I wanted to finish, however I decided not to because the reason why I couldn’t finish in the first place was due to lack of support and the tutors literally not doing their job. They then took money from my bank account unauthorised, 5 years later, and are still harassing me every month via email to make payments that I don’t owe. A bunch of scammers, and an absolute JOKE of a company. AVOID at all costs!
