Highly recommended

The resources provided by StaySharp are excellent and varied, the 7-day free trial is also great. I had signed up to another provider to do my AAT qualifications but my experience with StaySharp is far superior. Their coursebook is very thorough and the tutorials explain the text in more detail. There are lots of examples and the interactive tests make checking your learning easy. Everything about this company is better, the number of examples, the format of online coursebook and the interactivity, highly recommended.

I signed up to trial the AAT course

I signed up to trial the AAT course, that process was easy however it wasnt easy attaining the membership with aat and there was no specific instructions to tell me how. The content had spelling mistakes, which was of putting and the person presenting the content wasnt as engaging as anticipated, its a shame as the interface and stages looked dated compared to the sign up pages. Hopefully it will improve.

Hi Samsung,

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review and we're pleased you found the sign up to our subscription easy. In terms of AAT membership, you do this directly with AAT (it is via their website, not StaySharp). You can always reach out to AAT if you need guidance or provide feedback on their membership sign-up process. In terms of the content, please do reach out to the team so we can explore which paper/particular content - the courses should not contain errors and the presenters are usually very engaging so would be really useful for us to understand more so we can investigate at our end.

Best of luck with your studies

Thanks

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.
