Thanks for your positive feedback! We appreciate your suggestion about providing more Grade 9 exemplars. Your point about wanting to see complete answers for better clarity is well-taken. We're committed to enhancing our support materials at our CPD events, and your input is invaluable in guiding us forward.

Thanks,

Very interesting topics covered they enabled my student to see how psychology can be used in practice. But having back to back lectures with only one break meant students didn't receive all the gems available to them.

Good customer service

Rep very knowledgeable and very helpful. Just started trial but if books are a good reflection then the resources should be good.

If there's another supplier, go for it

My parcel with 4 books, the lot just under £100 arrived in a package that was so little, one side wasn't covered at all, it couldn't be closed, just holding with tape.
It had rained, you can imagine the state of the cardboard and the books.
Two of the work books had their covers completely torn due to whoever decided that it was the right recipient.... Very odd.
All arrived late despite me paying extra for fast delivery.
In all fairness a terrible experience.

After more than two weeks of order

After more than two weeks of order, I have not received my books and don't even know when I am going to receive it. I sent email to ask but it was forwarded to another mailbox and have not received any responses after several follow up. It is very bad service.

Long

It took way too long to just order an eBook and it made me redo the payment multiple times, so I'm worried I've accidently bought multiple copies.

The service was great and the programme itself was really useful. Plenty of breaks which was nice and the group size was great as it allowed us to ask all our questions. Excellent overall.

Not what was advertised.

No additional resources. No knowledge tests, editable lessons or course planner as suggested as a feature when you follow the link on the website. Basically just an online version of the textbook that you can annotate.
