Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 69 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers found the app and website irritating and horrible, often describing them as garbage and useless for learning or revision. People frequently encountered issues with the platform's functionality, such as problems restarting modules, skipping questions without explanation, and achievements not registering. Reviewers also criticized the learning content, noting that videos were long, unhelpful, and boring, and slides were unclear or did not relate to the questions. The system was often perceived as manipulative, marking correct answers as wrong and lacking explanations for incorrect responses, leading to frustration and a sense of wasted time. Conversely, a small portion of people felt the platform was useful for tracking progress and encouraging learning, particularly for home education. Some reviewers appreciated its ease of use, clear questions, and the ability for children to work independently, highlighting its potential as a supplementary learning tool.

It's a horrible website. The questions constantly bounce back and forth from "Which is correct" to "Which is incorrect" and it becomes extremely annoying. Also, there has been a lot of questions that... See more

Amazing for home education

My daughter learns so much using this, she is home educated and we use century to understand topics she struggles with. I had no idea when purchasing how much it has on it. It’s fantastic

Dear Sarah,

Thank you very much for your honest review.

A way you can do this is by getting your child to login to their account and going to their My courses tab. Here they will see their own course library and can search for nuggets by strand or by name, and look for the ones you wish for them to complete.

A really good tip also is to have a look at their dashboard via your Guardian account. On the courses page you will be able to see the areas "focus on to improve & Strecth with" these are nuggets your child can do to build up their understanding ina topic or really push themselves, which they can then find in their My courses tab.

Do let us know if you have any questions at all, feel free to email us at help@century.tech.

Best wishes,
Team CENTURY

Great white with easy to follow…

Great site with easy to follow lessons. With a child who has struggled in mainstream education, century tech has made the transition to home education smooth and my child is now enjoying learning again.

Really great resource

Really great resource. I home educate my son who is 12 who has been using Century Tech to work towards his GCSEs. The way each lesson is presented is really clear, with no unnecessary ‘waffle’, making it easy for my son to concentrate on. Excellent value for money and supports the national curriculum so beneficial for traditional school learners too.

Century is easy to use

Century is easy to use, both my sons aged 15 (year 11) and aged 13, (year 9)! They learn a lot using this and am glad we joined.
Both my boys are homeschooled so I would defo recommend to anyone else

Recommended

With this website I was able to track all the nuggets completed and the learning reached. It was fundamental for Maths and Science, but also very useful and engaging for Language and Literature. Recommended.

Excellent resource in our home ed life

This has been a game changer for my elder children. We home educate so this online resource is great to help the children with higher education and a prefect guideline. My children are doing so well when combining this site with their studies.

Math was terrible

Math was terrible, I got confused when I was correct I know what to do in maths and I got wrong for no reason. I don't understand why I did make it.

I'd recommend buying a book to learn Functional Skills Maths Level 2

I'm not very happy with this app…

I'm not very happy with this app because it is SO case sensitive in terms of answers, which doesn't help develop a child's learning. THIS SHOULD BE DOWN!

This app is HORRIBLE

This app is HORRIBLE! The website does absolutely nothing and it has no feedback whatsoever about your learning. The ‘i don’t know’ button doesn’t help you find the correct answer but instead marks the question wrong…as if making a mistake is bad. As usual, this is another stupid, lying website that school will love for a while but then get bored…

It's pretty awful

It marks questions wrong when they're not, the scores never make any sense and the questions are ridiculous. It's supposed to help students succeed but all it succeeds in is giving me a headache.

How can Century even be rated 5 stars?

The questions are absolutely illogical, and they should give you the answers, not providing the steps, so that the students can work backwards and try to solve the question themselves if they get it wrong. They also mention about unsubscribing, but they never tell us anything about how to do that.

DO NOT MAKE YOUR KIDS DO CENTURY TECH!

This website is horrible for kids, my school uses it and everyone hates it. The videos are useless and the PowerPoints are even more useless... If you want to save your kids' brain. They give you 3 keys every hour to "unlock" an answer.DO NOT USE CENTURY TECH!

I have no words.

An absolutely terrible site. AVOID. The answers are constantly incorrect and the message that tells you that you got an answer wrong is seriously degrading. The government should ban this awful website. Terribly terrible.
