Lsib Reviews 158

I have a document in writing stating otherwise. If only I could get a proper response from your office, and some assistance to get around this situation that I find myself in to prove you are truly accredited. Automated responses are not doing much for me nor your brand. I would still warn people to be careful.

Excellent OfQual accredited qualification- Highly recommended .

I have reached out several times and only receive "template" emails in response.

In a LinkedIn search, LSIB is nowhere to be found. The Senior Educational Consultant "Jennie Payne" is also nowhere to be found on LinkedIn.

I appreciate this may be an error and would like to give LSIB a chance to clear this up.

Thanks,
Jack

The study material was great, it gives you opportunity to also do your own research. Assignments were clear and support team helped in everything I asked for.
Thanks you !

I like to study with LSIB.
Their self paced system has superior quality with online help and continuous improvement. I recommend LSIB to everyone who describes himself a lifetime learner.

I would highly recommend London School of International Business, UK as i was able to get into the College of my choice. The courses are easy to navigate and learn.

Brilliant experience!!!

I am very happy to share my feedback on LSIB and the current studies i am perusing. I find the system very helpful.

Main reasons that made me apply to LSIB:
1- Flexibility - Given the certain circumstances it allowed me to peruse my studies and still have a full time job.
2- Affordability - The fees i am paying are very reasonable and made it available for me to complete my studies.
3- Guidance and support - The team was available 24/7 and they responded to all my queries quickly, and was always able to support me with any issues i had.

I would really recommend LSIB, UK as an option to other people who may not have the possibility to study on campus.

The LSIB level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management is a rewarding and Organisational Management practical oriented programme.The programme,s monthly assignments are very practical and driven towards testing candidates on modern organisations management practices in the field of HRM, Financial Management, Communication management, Business Strategy formulation, and research project.

Ultimately these assignments have developed a confidence in me and greatly enhanced my knowledge and skills in Business issues and enviromental diagnosis as well as strategy formulation techniques to tackle both the internal and external Business or organisational challenges encountered in the course of managing organisations .

Already i have commenced applying these skills in my current organisation UNHCR in Ethiopia where iam working in the capacity of Associate Logistics officer managing the supply chain function of the organisation as well as supervising a total of 12 staff there in. Enrolling to the LSIB programme was the best decision ever taken.

Just completed my course with LSIB UK, and I’m very happy. The study materials, elibrary, live chat and email support was good - Thank you so much for helping me achieve my MBA.

I would recommend LSIB, if you are ready for independent self study.

Since the diploma courses offered are accredited and regulated by OfQual, I can understand you need to put in some hard work. Support by faculty members and admin was perfect.

I took the Level 4 Diploma in Computing in LSIB. At the beginning, I was overwhelmed as this course is mostly 'self-study' and I have no background whatsoever in Computer Science or Programming. I just had the assessment guidelines, learning outcomes and indicative reading list to work with; I thought I would never be able to pass the course.

After a couple of assignments, I got used to the workload and the 'independent study' aspect of LSIB and found that, as I worked on each assignment, I did learn and retain information about the subject matters tackled. The only downside was lack of actual practical practice/mentoring (ex. Computer programming module - learning to program by yourself from scratch is hard); however, I gained adequate 'theoretical' knowledge regarding the subject matters tackled in each module.

Would I recommend LSIB to a potential future student? Yes, I would, if that student is comfortable with independent study and research then they will definitely enjoy their courses with LSIB; however, if the student is someone who prefers a mentor to bounce ideas, arguments and discussions with about their modules/assignments then they may not enjoy their experience with LSIB as much.

14th March, an update.

I was told that my assignment will be evaluated again, by an "external evaluator" & I will get the result back in April or, early May. There is a 30% chance, I might fail the second round.

Every single assignment submitted, took 1 month to get feedbacks. The assignment passed internally, were not automatically streamlined to be evaluated externally - drastically increasing the time unnecessarily.

It's an emotional toll, if you think it's easy and there's lots of support - it's not true. It's just one person, behind the other email.

----
All the negative reviews before me are generally true (although I will say that some are just misunderstanding, I think all my questions were answered & the customer service has been helpful); there is no genuine assignment guidelines or task provided, which is the main frustration on what should I do and how should I plan my study.

Truth to be told, I was ready for this since I have done online studies before. I was expecting a step by step module but the so-call online campus provide one single page of general introduction per unit and, some links to either download study materials or see an lecture from an German University.

I read almost all the pages of the curriculum within a hour on the website but I don't think I know what task I should do or, if there is a topic I should write about or I should write an original content essay between 2400 - 2500words demonstrating what I understand from the materials to meet the academic criteria.

Is the assignment one essay per unit, or there is several task I should do per unit..I guess these are the main questions I would like to ask.

Prospective students should really consider if the diploma is right for them since it seem to be a very rigorous research intensive course and, not those where you can learn stuff from basic up instead you are immersed with the materials and you are expected to immediately understand.

I am still unsure about the assignments which I should be preparing for.

14 August, I failed my first submission and the accessor gave constructive feedbacks.

The assignment brief's needs actually intertwined and I used the same company in 2 assignment, done in one research which can be a bigger project.

There is other problems that I find a pain, the guideline was 2400 - 2500words per assignment. There will be a penalty if you have more words than that, blah blah blah, only to find out that they actually allow much more word count than that. I think it will averages 3500 word to get merit or distinction, however I got assurance from many other schools that getting a pass grade is sufficient for MBA Top up after that.

Because I had planned everything in the beginning, I intend to stick to their criteria of 2500 words as it is alot more easier for a busy working adult like me to get it done.

__________
19th August, the school posted a reply claiming to have provided me with the briefs in the beginning of the course which is not true.

I was not provided with assignment briefs at the beginning of the course, the emails sent to me with the supposing briefs were all broken hyperlinks and, finally I got it manually with the admin sending to me by email after multiple emails exchanges after 2 weeks.

Again, the only good thing about the school this far is the admin person replying. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be giving a single star. I am choosing to reduce a star because inaccurate reply was given since it was feedback long ago and they had verified my student status, they should know that I was not provided with any briefs and had to practically beg for it.

I can provide screenshots of the emails but there is no attach function here.

Hello,
I’m trying to apply for level 5 Civil Engineering, I wonder why LSIB is not in the list of “recognized bodies “ and “Listed bodies” on the gov websites, it is very important for me to get a recognized qualification to proceed to the third year of an engineering degree,

Hello,
I’m trying to apply for level 6 in It, I wonder why Lsib is not in the list of “recognised bodies “ and “Listed bodies” on the gov websites, it’s very important for me to get an accredited diploma,
Thanks

I completed my level 7 diploma in HR management recently and highly commend this school. The material was quiet straight forward to understand and both the professors and admin team were very helpful and replied straight away. I would certainly consider LSIB again to progress in my studies and hopefully achieving a masters in HR.

Dear Sirs,
I have not found in your website the number of authorization by the UK Ministry of Education.
Could you please communicate it to me and all the other students?

I have loved studying Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management. with LSIB. It has opened doors for me and I have grown in terms of confidence and independence .I work full time and have pretty good social and family life, so it can be hard to balance sometimes, especially when deadlines approach. The key is to be organised and prepared, something which I am still working on. I would highly recommend it to everyone.

I would give no star if possible.

I applied for the LSIB Level 4 – Diploma in Computing and for my surprise, there was absolutely no online material. When I requested about information for the first assignment, the teacher asked me to contact the administration by email. They sent me a sample assignment that looked like the homework I used to deliver at school in the 90's when I was 10 years old.

Since 10.10 I have been trying to withdraw my application, but they don'tpay me the refund I am entitled to (I informed them in the cooling off period).

Great - highly recommend for anyone looking for affordable qualifications.
