The only negative I will say is there should be a way of going back to the particular chapter or screen after watching the videos and not the whole menu.If this can be done it will earn my 5stars

StaySharp has excellent resources!

StaySharp has excellent resources for AAT & ACCA. I would highly recommend to use StaySharp if you were a distant learner or needed extra support. There are multiple videos and question banks to help see where you are with your studying and a great resource.

Great value and content

I've recently started a bookkeeping course with Stay Sharp and have found everything brilliant so far. The learning portal is easy to navigate and I love how each unit is broken down into small manageable chunks which makes it easy to dip in and out of. The video lectures are fantastic and I've got into a system of reading the relevant chapter first before watching the lecturers to really consolidate my learning. The practice questions at the end of each block are a good way to start to get familiar with how the actual AAT computer-based exams will be, and being able to see the correct answers to any errors is really helpful. I think the £50 monthly fee seems reasonable and a very competitive price, when other learning providers charge a lot more.

Good luck with the rest of your studies. Don't hesitate to get in touch if there's anything you need.

Brilliant content…

A simple Google search brought me to Stay Sharp and I am glad it did. £60 a month for full course content, all study tx, revision packs and assessments along the way is more than worth it. The structure is great, broken down into smaller chunks with thorough explanations, rather than it being rushed and squeezed into a set time frame. I've been studying with another provider which cost a hell of a lot more and found myself having to teach myself more than I actually learned in the lesson. The BPP info is so much better. Love the ladder progress, meaning each step has to be passed before moving onto the next. Only issue I had was the assessment results not showing a couple of times. The online chat team were amazing and sorted this issue. Highly recommend.

It’s good but the monthly price is quite high at £60. Content is well laid out and easy to follow. Uses BPP material which is top class.

So far I'm impressed with what I have seen. I can dip into the study material across all AAT modules which is exactly what I need. I am aiming for level 4 but sometimes I need to get back to basic stuff to refresh my memory. Other providers want you to follow their set menu. A la carte is best.

Fantastic service at a brilliant price point

Great user-friendly service and designed really intuitively. BPP's material design, study plan and live lectures are easy to learn with and let you go at your own pace - they even have recommended time to spend on each 'step' as you go which makes planning in the run up to exams easy. I have also studied with Kaplan online and would say BPP/StaySharp is superior, there is a lecture for every topic so you are not left in the dark with explanation. Couldn't recommend enough, especially at the price point too - rather than paying a lump sum to a study provider, you can almost 'spread the cost' month to month.

Amazing content! - but having to re-enrol

The website is great but I keep getting locked out of enrolled classes. I have to speak to a member of staff to allow me me back in, which means waiting until someone is online. Unfortunately, this the second time it has happened.

Other than that, the website is amazing and I would highly recommend. Very good value for money and the lessons contain a lot of detail and practice questions throughout.
