While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 15,264 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the user experience, finding the courses informative, well-structured, and easy to understand. Many appreciate the flexibility to learn at their own pace, which fits well with busy schedules. The website is frequently described as user-friendly, and the quality of the course material is often highlighted as excellent and relevant. However, some people were dissatisfied with the pricing structure, particularly regarding certificates, feeling that the "free course" aspect was misleading when a fee was required for certification.

There were also isolated concerns about the accreditation of specific certifications.

Relevant and informative

Ultimately, really good. Informative and relevant. I found one or two of the questions ambiguous though so selected incorrect answer as a consequence - perhaps could be better worded? Will do more courses though.

I just completed my mental health certification!

I just had the most amazing and empowering experience completing my mental health diploma certification! I love that they allowed me to start the course for free! And I learned so much! I even learned skills I can apply to my every day life. And I can definitely use this mental health certification to advance my career and knowledge!
