“I studied the mindfulness course, it was a fantastic experience , friendly and supportive customer service.Thoroughly enjoyed the course and will certainly be studying with the Centre of Excellence again”
“Enrolled on the Organic Skincare Diploma and I am enjoying it so far. I also had the option of choosing the audio version. The course content is excellent, very informative and engaging. The assessment I did so far is very creative, ensuring an understanding of the course and adds to the course's engagement. In addition, I dealt with Aimee who was very helpful and dealt with my query effectively and promptly! Thanks Aimee for providing a great service!”
“Just finished the Mindfulness Diploma Course, I was really struggling before taking this course but can honestly say it’s made such a difference to my outlook and thought process - thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this course, I’m now moving onto meditation x”
“I love the range of courses on offer that I couldn’t find anywhere else, I’ve taken 6 courses so far and enjoyed them all, the superb study group is so supportive and the customer support team are always there to help if needed, all in all a great learning experience thank you!”
“I studied the CBT Course, excellent value with 21 course modules, could study in my own time at my own pace, really enjoyed my course, well worth the money!”
“Their course offerings are diverse and impressive, covering a wide range of topics. I've had a positive experience with their customer service – they are responsive and attentive to queries and the materials although require a lot of time to digest are informative and well structured.”
“A fantastic company - loads of fabulous courses. Customer service is second to none. I have learnt loads from the courses I have bought and now starting up my own business from what I have learnt . Thank you Centre if Excellence 🙏”
“The community is awesome and Centre of Excellence give the people what they want. It's an alternative view of the world. One that has saved many souls.”
“I've been taking courses at the Centre of Excellence since 2020, and I can honestly say their courses never disappoint. There's a wide range of topics you can choose from, and whether you're learning for professional development or just for fun, there is something for everyone.
The courses are well-organized, and you can learn at your own pace. What's more, is that they're always adding new courses onto the platform, so you'll never run out of things to learn. Overall, CoE is a great place to learn new skills and gain new knowledge.”
“So I like their basic courses, but they are basic but nice to add to your experiences and maybe CV. HOWEVER as soon as there is a problem they are are terrible. I contacted them when one of my clients had a negative reaction to a face mask recipe on their holistic facials course. I considered this urgent and tried phoning as well as emailing. It took ages for a reply. After about 3/4 weeks I was told they would remove that recipe from the course and would speak to the tutors and get back to me. NEITHER of which has happened. This is highly unethical! A physical college wouldn’t get away with this. After having spent a lot of money with them I will no longer be investing in them.”
“I have done several centre of excellence courses. I have been delighted with them. Being a qualified adult teacher and also having written courses I would say they are excellently structured and well written. However several of the courses could do with more training videos. Although they do give you links to you tube so you can learn more.
Some say certain courses on there are not comprehensive enough on there. A level three course is not supposed to give you all of the information anyway. It encourages you to add to your knowledge through further resources. I am delighted with my courses. Thank you centre of excellence.”
“frustrating format designed to extract extra hidden costs, provider seems to have very poor understanding of how people actually learn and study. Sneaky ways to block any kind of printing or saving and content so stuck with a the 'click through' screens format on what is supposed to be a long, multi module course this written assessments. This really does not lend itself well study as have no ability to highlight, annotate or simply move/search through content. Strange assessment questions that required lengthy 'essays' in a comment style box rather than submitting documents. After enrolling the wanted £37 for a printable download and £29 for audio format on a course my employer had already paid £90 for. Very disappointed”
“Absolute Rubbish , the study is unbelievably basic and can all be easily found on the internet . Don’t waste your money !!! No real qualifications . Garbage”
“Well I let me start by saying for home study courses this college does deliver. They do have very high quality and Affordable professional online training. This is not so much a review about the course I took itself being Level 3 Personal Training Diploma, it's more to do with the certificate you get issued from the centre of excellence if you order the Quality Licence Scheme Certificate they do for £17.00 extra charge. I did a review about this a week ago but removed it as I wanted answers about the certificate I got from the Quality Licence Scheme. The Centre of Excellence told me they don't set the wording it's set by Quality Licence Scheme. My Level 3 Personal Training Diploma just said on it Personal Training. NO Mention it was at level 3 as it should state. So I contacted the Quality Licence Scheme myself to find out why and this is what they said.
Dear Jason
Thank you for your email below.
As the course belongs to the Centre of Excellence you need to ask them this question. We only put on the certificate what they requested.
Kind regards
Colette

Quality Licence Scheme
So as you can clearly see from the email I got direct from the Quality Licence Scheme it was the fault of the Centre of Excellence that my certificate came wrong with the wording of just Personal Training. I am now stuck with a certificate that serves no purpose for me at all as I need proof on it that is it at Level 3 I was told by a well known gym without the Level 3 on it I will not be able to use this certificate so I took a course for nothing. Waste of my time and Money. I have emailed the centre of excellence with proof of the quality licence scheme email but no one as replied. If I was you I would use BSY, Stonebridge or another provider who will issue you with the correct certificate.”
“I am currently studying Aromatherapy, I used the discount code which took my course down to £25, I love that I am able to learn some unique skills around things that I enjoy. People will always have negative opinions about anything these days, it's something extra to put on your CV and shows you have initiative to learn more. I am happy with my purchase and will be looking at more courses to study in my own time.”
