Great Learning Platform

I join StaySharp in December for my level 5. The tutors are lovely and helpful. They have an online chat support and someone always comes back to you pretty promptly.
I am partially deaf and really struggle with videos and recording sounds. I explained this in one of my first sessions and within a few days I had a call from Heather I believe to explain that she had been looking into this and has found a good tool for producing accurate subtitles i can use during the lives to help me.
The resources provided for the learning are very detailed and helpful and the written guide for each question is very clear and detailed.
Overall and excellent provider and online learning platform.
Would definitely recommend StaySharp

Thankyou to staysharp because they… are giving free course access.

Thankyou to staysharp because they didn't cancel my subscription even after the end of 14 day free trial.
So I can access the course easily for free.
Thank you once again!

StaySharp ACCA ATX

I’m really enjoying using StaySharp to study for my last exam. I wish I’d have found it sooner. For the majority of my previous exams I have self studied which was very hard but I couldn’t afford the college tuition. StaySharp is very good value for money and you can cancel your subscription at any point. I like the use of checkpoints at certain stages to check your knowledge and the fact that you can mark items as done so you know where you are at. Couple of reasons I didn’t give it a 5 star: (1) one of the tutors talks way too fast which is very annoying when you are a student trying to learn (ACCA ATX) and (2) some of the questions at the checkpoints refer to prior years and obviously for ATX the allowances may be different to what you are learning for a current year exam thus you get the question wrong.

Good afternoon,

Thanks for leaving a review and we're really pleased you're finding this a useful resource as you prepare for your last ACCA exam

We do work hard to ensure material is high quality and up to date and we will pass this feedback onto the programme team to investigate and make any changes necessary.
You can alter the speed of a video e.g. slow down so this may be helpful to try whilst you're studying

Thanks again for leaving feedback - and the very best of luck with your last exam

Thanks
Kate

So helpful and understanding.

Such an amazing service by this company, I had signed up to the course but lost my job a week later. After explaining this to the company they gave me a full refund. I'm so grateful, thank you so much. When I'm ready to study again I know where to come!

The CIPD level 3 course appeared boring, just like reading an online textbook, however online learning has advanced and can be made to appear more engaging plus use videos whilst still getting the content across.

Best Online Provider and Value for Money

I am only a short time into my CIMA course and I am absolutely loving the tuition.

The lectures are very informative and much more than just reading the book. Provided with in depth explanations, and the voices of the tutors are nice and welcoming.

You can tell StaySharp hold a true sense of wanting their students to succeed, thank you so much!

StaySharp Customer Service & Communication

StaySharp Customer Service is Excellent. I contacted StaySharp numerous times with various questions and their response was immediate and to perfection. I felt very welcoming and as if I was a member of their own team. Their response was to the point and very instructive. All the queries were answered to a great satisfaction. Their answers were very professional and with excellent empathy standards. I feel very confident that I am going through my Accounting Professional exams having a great team of Accounting Professionals behind me to support me all the way.
I am very content with their approach because StaySharp Support Team went all the way and cover all the possible options concerning my queries/questions. Very satisfying feeling indeed.

Nice initiative

It is a really nice initiative from BPP to fund StaySharp to provide online courses with their original materials for people who are on budget. I only purchased the free trial and was happy with it although the structure of the materials feels a little bit dump as there are so many. This could be somehow better organised. Also the navigator bar could remember where the last recording was opened and lead the user back there after watching the video to help with navigation. The only other thing I would mention is the lack of the option to purchase marked feedback. Apart from these, I think the site brings everything that can be expected from this type of subscription and if I was on a budget I would definitely consider to sign up due to my previous good experience with BPP.

I am happy with StaySharp#

I am happy that StaySharp approached me via e-mail, and I used the 14 day trial. For me, this is the best way to study. The chapters are split into bitesize sections, easy to follow, plan and practise after every chapter. The voice of the podcast lady is very pleasant, it hooks you in with expert curation and recommendations. Although is not interactive way of studying, I feel like I don't study alone. I can't ignore the very reasonable price of £60 a month.

Great Learning Platform

I am thoroughly enjoying the course and love the fact that I can jump in any time I want. The StaySharp learning platform is very easy to navigate and makes it easy to pick up where you left off. I also enjoy that the live sessions are recorded which enables you look back on them, or, if you miss them, you are still able to get all of the information.
I am currently and admissions assistant and student support advisor, but my goal is to go into Human Resource Management. I know that having this qualification, will allow me to progress as a professional.

Great materials…

They provide great materials for my studies. An e-book and short lectures are very well prepared. Thay privide so many activities and tests (with answers) that I feel confident to take my first exam soon. An achievement ladder keeps me motivated. I am very happy that I have chosen StaySharp.

BPP modules are the best

Tbe fact you can get BPP modules for £60 a month is nothing short of brilliant. That alone is worth the sub.
