Online Business School UK

Hello Guys,

I want to do an online course in IT. I have found this online learning provider offering this course it's called Online Business School UK.

Does anyone know if they are legit or not?

Yes.
But they are a private education provider and their courses are not eligible for student loans.

Have you done a course with them before and how do you know that they are legit and recognised

Yes.
I've had corporate sponsorship, employer funded cpd courses and recommended their courses & a few of their subsidary organisations to other people.
They are very good for students with family commitments that are studying part time while working full time and recovering crime survivors trying to enhance their qualifications & skillset.

Thanks for your help. I'm thinking of doing the IT and Computing level 4 and 5 online course with them during lockdown. In your opinion do you think gaining a degree or qualification from them will be beneficial?

It depends on your personal circumstances; existing Computing & IT knowledge, finances, whether you are planning further study in a related area and future career ambitions.
Is the topup option of interest to you?

In terms of fees, there is a significant lockdown discount being offered to students who enrol for levels 4 & 5.
The usual fee is £1600 per level.
I'm a beginner and probably wouldn't be able to cope at level 4 studying complex modules like software engineering or computer programming.
Someone with more experience of these topics and plans for a computing related graduate career would be more likely to successfully study the course and enhance their skillset.

I currently don't have a lot of experience in IT and computing my self but do have an ambition and a curious nature towards that sort of field. On their website they mentioned experience of the subject is not needed just a full education.

It seems more like a question of whether you can afford to spend almost £2000 on the two courses during lockdown.
If so, go for it.

Hello, Did you do it? I'm interested in studying with them level 4 and level 5 HR, but I'm not sure if the degree it's recognised outside of the UK

Hello everyone,
Did anyone start with them and if they did, were they legit and accredited

Hi everyone,
I recently completed my course with Online Business School, but I still haven’t received my qualification certificate. I also never got a registration email confirmation, did anyone else have this issue?
I saw a couple of Trustpilot reviews saying some students waited over 5 months and still got nothing. Just wondering if others here have had the same experience or if anyone’s actually received theirs?
Would really appreciate any updates or advice! Thanks.
