Not as good as the BBC said it would be

I've been really enjoying the course, but have got to lesson #9 and cannot access it. You seem to want me to purchase it again. Lesson 9 is where Tim Spector really starts to explain what to do, so I've only heard the background so far

Hi Mary, Thanks for your review. I'm sorry to hear you're having issues accessing a lesson! I'd like to get this fixed for you. So that I can help, can you let me know what device you're watching the course on and the browser you are using? Best, Rebecca

The content quality is highly polished and very useful. Lessons are clear with a clear pensum. So far, the authors I've watched talked clearly and at a good pace.

A really good way to learn a new skill. East to use and affordable.

My subscription to BBC Maestro is one I cherish and value. I do have several subscriptions that I occasionally watch/listen to, but BBC is the one I spend the most time with. This is my 3rd year learning from them. The instructors are knowledgeable, engaging, and leaders in their field. My latest favorite is Mark Ronson on music production, and I'm just starting graphic design by Paula Scher. Browse BBC's topics and instructors, and I know you'll find the exact class you need.

Not as informative as I had hoped and the annual membership doesnโ€™t have that many courses to choose from - although the price wasnโ€™t too bad with a discount applied. Had I paid full price I would have been disappointed

I was quite disappointed as I thought I would get more information on technique, the hows, and instruction rather than just a history of graphic design. While looking at the works and the process was interesting, I feel like I could have found some of this on YouTube for free.

I was excited to buy the Delicious Vegetarian Cooking with Marco Pierre White. I tried the mushroom risotto recipe. Unfortunately the cooking instructions on the PDF leave a lot to be desired. The ingredients ask for 3 knobs of butter, whereby only one knob of butter is asked for in the recipe. Perhaps it is expected to follow the PDF and video simultaneously, but as this was not possible I depended upon the PDF. The recipe also requires 50g of grated cheese, but we are not told at any stage where to use this cheese. Do we mix it in or sprinkle on the top at the end? I was also surprised that no seasoning is required. Mine definitely needed added salt and some black pepper.

In fact, I am fan of many learning platform and I am encourage people out there to learn as much as they can, for BBC Maestro in particular I got impressed with the platform itself, how itโ€™s organized and the massive count of learning courses, sharing pros experiences in different areas, benefit others from their experiences and supporting people to step in different areas learn something new, I start joining BBC Maestro to craft professional writing and to know more about this industry techniques and skills, I am sure BBC Maestro will provide the required tools to do that.

I bought two courses: Mark Ronson's music production and more recently, Paula Scher's graphic design one Naturally, one can immediately tell that these two artists are true maestros of their respective crafts, because of the wealth of information they provide and how clearly they explain how to do what they do. This is also helped by the superb BBC's production and post-production, i.e. the way the videos are shot and edited, the super easy-to-navigate website itself, down to the interluding music/video clips. This is only the kind of quality and overall sheer class that the BBC can provide. And let us not forget the unbeatable value for money! Having access to all these great artists at THIS price is the kind of privilege nobody would have had, say 20 years ago. I am only thinking about which course to buy next!

SO far, BBC Maestro has delivered content that is very valuable to me. Brian Cox is an amazing Actor and, an amazing instructor as well. I've started some of the other non-acting courses and I find them to be interesting and entertaining as well.

BBC Maestro has a collection of lessons from the best in their prospective fields. I love the variety, the backdrops, and the downloadable notes so that I don't have to pause the video to jot down the important takeaways. Just love this learning vehicle. Now, back to Simon Lycett...

Engaging content, well presented by people experts in their field. Also the fact that content has actual captions for the Deaf - not automatic captions/ This makes it easier to follow and understnad.
