The course started well
The course started well, however the moderator is very insensitive if they have any assumptions that you used AI. They say they have a way to check for AI usage that was “accurate”, which clearly isn’t seeing as no AI was used. It was very frustrating as the only evidence you can provide to support yourself is a discussion on your work and you can’t even show your search history of how you created your work.
Also, at the start of the course, I was writing the essays as I did in university, which didn’t not receive any negative feedback. Only my last essay I got told to re-write and to only include one reference per question with a focus on the CIPD website. To me this is not being critical of the answer and is poor for any qualification.

Thank you for your review.
We've checked our systems and we do not have a student called J Wilkins who has completed their studies with us but appreciate you may like to keep anonymous as the process for investigating AI generated work can be quite sensitive.
The CIPD operate a zero tolerance policy for AI generated work and when we are marking, along with plagiarism, this is something we check thoroughly– this includes references from fictional sources, referenced that are in different languages, text that does not make sense with typos and unfinished sentences.
We then request a meeting with the student to discuss the findings and agree a way moving forward – usually to re write the assignment in their own words.
All students have to sign a declaration to say AI has not been used in their work – this is also flagged to students when the meeting is completed.
StaySharp are committed to not only a high standards academically but also for customer care.
If you would like to reach out and discuss this in more detail (we are unable to reach out as we don't have a J Wilkins on our systems), then please reach out - we'd be happy to discuss this further with you. The team are live on our live chat weekdays 9-5:30pm and here to help.

I have just completed my Level 5 CIPD…
I have just completed my Level 5 CIPD with StaySharp. When I came across them I wasn't sure how I felt about the subscription model and I contacted CIPD who told me they were new to the training and so I thought I would give it a chance. I have ADHD and so having a subscription that I could pause if I was having a busy month and struggling allowed me flexibility. It also meant that I could take as long as I needed and manage my payments to align with this. The team responded quickly and gave me support when I needed it. In the first six months I did struggle with some of the formatting however StaySharp have quickly reflected on the best set up for learners and I am now able to work the system in a way that benefits me. I am now looking to take my next qualification and am hoping to return to them as I feel supported with my learning needs.

Hi Sarah
Firstly congratulations on completing Level 5 - we're thrilled that after all your hard work you've completed it.
We're pleased you found the support helpful; as well as our customer service team, we also have a fantastic learning support team who can hep provide tailored support to learners as and when needed. We continuously monitor how students are using the platform and content and also feedback we get from student to make enhancements - our aim is always to make the content as manageable as possible as it is always tough studying for a professional qualification and managing work/life commitments.
Enjoy some well deserved time off studying and we look forward to seeing you back for Level 7 in the future
Thanks

Best CIMA tuition provider that I have found. The videos are short and the tutors are great. The study plan is logical and it works! Passed 2 OT’s first time with StaySharp. Currently busy with E3, and plan to use StaySharp for SCS too.

This is a scam
This is a scam - I was blocked and locked out of my account even during the free trial period and as a result wasn’t able to log in to cancel the subscription and yet got charged after the trial period.
Even up till this moment I am still unable to log in and I have been charged £60 .
This injustice and corruption will not stand
October 30, 2024
Reply from StaySharp
Hi Abdul
Thank you for your review. Respectfully, we disagree with the points you have made
I can see that you accessed your content during the free trial period between 17th - 23rd October and have extensively used the course book, exam kit, watched some videos and looked at some Steps for your ACCA FM and AFM material ( I can share these logs with you if you want to reach out to us).
We have reviewed all our live chat/email logs, and we do not have any live chat or email records of you raising you had access issues. The team are around on live chat weekdays 9-530pm so are always available to help and support if subscribers have technical issues (which are very rare and usually related to password).
Your first payment kicked in after 14 day trial as you did not cancel - this isn't a scam this is how our subscription model works. Payments will be taken unless you cancel and once cancel no further payments are taken. Our logs do not show any attempt to cancel. Furthermore you can cancel through your account (not the learning content) so you would have been able to do this, if you believe you were blocked from accessing content). The live chat is omnipresent on the website and learning platform but our logs do not indicate that you reached out for help
Finally, I would ask that when speaking to the StaySharp team you remain professional, respectful and polite at all times. The live chat you have had this morning has not met the standards we would expect. Please consider this when speaking with the team in the future. The team work very hard to help and support students and we expect conversations to be professional and appropriate at all times
Thanks

Well explained videos
I have been using Stay Sharp for my ACCA self studies for around 6 months and have found the service better than initially expected. It has been my main source of content for studying along with a few other free resources and I managed to pass my first exam FR, first time in September 24 sitting. The videos are well explained and go through plenty of examples.
I have found using laptop best as I was originally having some issues using an IPad with videos freezing. However since switching to a laptop I haven’t had any problems.

The platform should work well on any device including Ipads so I'll mention to the product team as it's designed to work in the same way. Best of luck with your next ACCA paper and thanks for choosing StaySharp
