Dear Phillip,

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your frustration and the confusion regarding the cost of the certificate for your Digital Marketing course.

We want to clarify that your free subscription, which you won through "Vodacom," gives you full and free access to all the course content on our platform. There is absolutely no charge to complete any of our courses. You can watch all the lessons, take the assessments, and gain the knowledge for free within your subscription period.

The additional amount you are seeing is for the optional course certificate. This fee is not mandatory and is charged to cover the administrative and development costs associated with providing and maintaining high-quality courses and issuing a formal credential for your achievement.

You are welcome to complete the Digital Marketing course—or any other course—for free. If you later decide you would like a formal certificate to demonstrate your achievement to an employer or for your personal records, you will have the option to purchase it at that time. Our team will email you soon with the possibility of providing a certificate for free as an exception. Please keep an eye in your email inbox.

We hope this clarifies the matter and allows you to continue your learning journey with us without any further concerns.

Sincerely,

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I found it better than the offline classes that I took😍

I have done my courses from a lot of online and offline classes to keep myself updated with the current trend. But this one here was amazing. They start from the roots and go into depths. Once you finish the class, you will know the difference in you.

CON MEN!!!!!!!! STAY AWAY THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY!!!

This company billed me. I complained by email to which they told me they were cancelling the supposed subscription many many times. There was no phone support. Only email which constantly gave me the run around. They said they were canceling this supposed membership and have now billed me FOUR TIMES FOR ALMOST $300. After they have promised to cancel. This is disgusting. Do NOT deal with these con men. I never wanted this service. They have my credit card number and are not afraid to charge it. Do NOT RELEASE ANY INFO YOU THIS COMPANY. THEY ARE NOT SAFE.

Also there is no way to remove your credit card from their account… only replace it.

They hold it CAPTIVE so they can charge at will. If you try to cancel on their online site you get a multi screen menu which never actually cancels you. COMPLETE FRAUD.

AMAZING SUPPORT

I recently had a problem logging into my account and the support I received from the Upskillist support department was incredible.

The guys who I dealt with were determined to get the problem sorted out. There were many many emails back & forth between myself, my service provider and Upskillist support department, all of whom were exceptionally patient and did not give up until the issue was sorted out.

Thank you so much to Vincent, Parker and Gary for your patience with me and with continually trying to provide solutions to the problem. I appreciate your time, patience and efforts tremendously!

I like their style of teaching

Two weeks ago, I started two courses at once on Upskillist. It has been a great experience so far. I appreciate the ability to watch a video lecture and then proceed to read the study notes, which I can do alongside my scribed notes from the lectures.

Build skills at your own pace

I was offered a free membership through my mobile phone provider and decided to take advantage of this perk to do some skill-building. The course offerings are diverse and interesting. Currently in my second course, and considrring a third when I finish it. The instructors are friendly and seem knowledgeable. You can set a class time schedule but it is still self-paced so you can go through faster or slower ss needed.

My biggest complaint is the assignments. I know that the lessons and courses come from Shaw Academy online and are sometimes cut down from longer videos or are selected video lessons from a more in-depth Shaw Acadrmy program, and that's fine. But they need to edit the assignments accordingly, as questions frequently reference information from parts that were edited out. Also, the question answer choices are randomized in which order they appear under the question, which again is fine, unless there are options like "A and D" or "All of thr Above," because then they no longer match the order in which options were originally written. Also, when an assignment is completed and scored, there's no way to look back on it to see what questions were missed, which I would like to do so I can review the missed material.

All in all, I'm glad I've been able to add to my skills and learn something new, and do not regret taking courses here.

Dear Melissa,

Thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful and detailed review! We're absolutely delighted to hear that you're taking advantage of your free membership through your mobile provider to build new skills, and that you find our course offerings diverse and interesting. It's fantastic to know you're already on your second course and considering a third, and that our instructors are perceived as friendly and knowledgeable. We also appreciate your recognition of our flexible, self-paced learning structure.

We are, however, deeply concerned by the issues regarding the assignments. Your feedback on this is extremely valuable and highlights critical areas for improvement:

Irrelevant Questions due to Edited Content: We sincerely apologize if questions in assignments reference information from parts of lessons that have been edited out. This is a significant oversight, and we understand how frustrating and confusing it must be.

Randomized Answer Choices with Dependent Options: You've raised a very valid point about issues arising with "A and D" or "All of the Above" options when answer choices are randomized. This clearly hinders the integrity and fairness of the assessment.

Inability to Review Missed Questions: We agree entirely that not being able to review missed questions after an assignment is completed is a major gap in the learning process. It prevents valuable self-correction and deeper understanding.

Please be assured that we are taking your feedback on assignments very seriously. We are immediately escalating these specific points to our content development and technical teams for urgent review and rectification. We are committed to ensuring our assignments are accurate, fair, and provide a constructive learning experience.

Despite these challenges, we are genuinely glad to hear that you've been able to add to your skills and learn something new, and that overall, you do not regret taking courses here. Your positive impression, alongside your constructive criticism, is invaluable as we continuously strive to enhance the Upskillist platform.

Thank you again for your candid and helpful review!
