Shaw Academy Reviews 

SCAM!!
I literally fell for this company a few years ago but I have received a gift card for Xmas and whilst looking through where I can use it, I came across Shaw Academy still operating!! They will probably delete this review as you can do this on trust pilot. Complete scam, DO NOT BE FOOLED !!! They will take money out your account without you knowing whilst spamming you with texts and refusing to let u leave. I had to cancel all my cards :(

Do not sign up. As others have stated, these courses are a scam. I had experiences wirh this company a few years ago, rather than recently, but I saw an ad for it recently and realised it was still in operation.
Underhanded tactics, such as calls that are deliberately vague and difficult to understand, are used to deduct money from your account when you sign up for free introduction courses. Pop ups that offer 'tools' appear constantly in emails and during course time. It's difficult to avoid them and if you accidently click one, money is deducted from your account. No confirmation of the transaction, you likely won't realise it happened.
You will also have to deal with a barrage of texts, calls and emails starting immediately after you sign up. Even if you tell the person calling that you are at work, they will try to keep you on the phone.
Money was taken from my account in the first week of the month-long trial period I signed up for. I had taken just one class.

Still trading???!!! Hahahahahaha! Jokers.

Although, I haven't used their products or attended their programs myself but those who have, testified that it feels good.Until I do so myself, I cannot be categorical.

I don't have access to my account after an error in payment and I was assured a lifetime membership

Scum. Charged me when i cancel before my free trial. They wouldn't give my money back no matter how many times i asked. It was some years ago. Maybe 5 years ago. Don't remember exactly

Shaw academy is very useful for me. I can study any time, anywhere very easily.
I am grateful to be one of academy's students.
Wish you all the very best in the future.

MY MONEY WAS TAKEN TWICE AND THEY DID NOT WANT PAY ME BACK NOW I CAN NO LONGER LOG TO MY ACCOUNT TO CONTINUE MY STUDIES

how to get back the money from shaw academy

Shaw Academy is a quality, affordable learning platform. I don’t know if they still have the promotion, but I began the Master’s program about 5 years ago.

The course selection is diverse. The self-paced program can add new material before completing a course. It is not a complaint as we get more valuable content because they keep up-to-date. Just know you may not complete the course by the time you anticipate.

The professors are very knowledgeable, yet a few of them have been quite casual and sarcastic towards students, and it can be hurtful at times. On the other hand they and customer service answer questions in a speedy manner, and sometimes even during class. The most difficult parts about working with the Academy for me is understanding what they say and building an educational relationshipa, because the staff changes frequently.

Overall, Shaw Academy has been changing for the better and is a great value for the degrees and certifications earned. It pays to grow with them.

This review is based on my genuine experience. Happy learning!

Great learning too i would recommend the new platform as there's new changes to the entire system as compared to the time when it was under old Shaw academy management. I have faced an issue of courses being slightly different due to account migration from Shaw academy to Upskillit, however the overall experience its tip top im doing my financial market diploma and its so informative.

Changed name from Shaw Academy to Upskillist and once again cheated people out of their hard earned money. Wake up people, all positive reviews on here are totally fake, this is a SCAM company and for some reason Trust Pilot are still allowing them a platform to cheat people to this day. Do not use this company! You have been warned. Based on my own personal experience..

I completed a psychology course on Shaw academy and paid for the certificate but never received it and now I can't sign back in so I'm not sure what is happening.

I have written down the text for you. Here it is:

"It's a genuine review. I don't usually give negative reviews. Shaw Academy changed the platform without notifying customers and also transferring the account wasn't easy. It kept redirecting me to free sign-up and minimal content instead of the purchased course. It took 2 weeks of communication to get it resolved.

The issue was finally resolved, but it took a lot of back-and-forth emails and wasted time, so I'm giving it 3 stars."

Absolutely Scam. Just look for their unclean famous name on scam alert websites. Before saying how they stole money from me let me, I'll tell you how to notice and avoid scam websites like this. Look for contact or support page on their website. If there's none, as Shaw academy, Walk away as fast as possible. Before giving them your bank card info. They are scam artists. I was charged 15 dollars for so to say recorded courses. Unfortunately they had my banking info so they withdraw money out of my card each two weeks. despite me trying hard to reach out to them. an impossible thing to do. they're unreachable. No trace of a contact number or email on their website. I wanted to cancel my sub but it took more than 10 pages of new offers and bull crap to get me to the canceling page. but it was far from over. They never canceled. They even called me. A woman asking me if I want to buy a new course. As soon as she notices i dont want it to she went agressive and hung up on me. Just walk away if you dont want your money to get rubbed online. I wonder how they are still working and advertising. 4 stars!!! it is fake. it their own reviews.
Edit:
Now they have replied and have asked me for my personal information again. imagine me falling for that again. This is their last strategy.
.
Hey, You stole my money how dare you ask for my personal information again. It's ‌even mentioned on shaw academy's Wikipedia page, how you force students to write positive reviews on trustpilot and remove their negative reviews.
I don't need your reply here and don't need the poems and nice words you're writing here. Who believes that! You stole the money of tens of thousands of people in pandemic and isolation era and made them lose hope in learning programing. There are big petitions against you. You'll be held Accountable. We will get to you.

Hi, you recently upgraded to upskillist and I transferred my shaw academy account as instructed..now I got disrupted at the verge of finishing my course because of pending payment..i have an active lifetime membership from shaw academy since 2021 and since i transferred successfully i don't understand why this bit of information was not transferred. Please check on this and update me as soon as possible..the chat bot at upskill couldn't help much. So far the learning has been good but please assist as this course is time sensitive for a career growth.
Thank you

For some reason after I paid I cannot get access to the account I sent an email to support and they return the email with a block I don't understand so it's a scam

I originally joined Shaw Academy in 2019 to undertake a Foundation Trading course. The course supposedly consisted of live online tutorials and practical sessions, mainly via PowerPoint presentations. However, the live sessions were recordings viewable online only. The PowerPoint presentation and supplementary notes were available to download.

The Foundation Trading course content was structured to promote the more expensive advanced premium Ultimate Traders Programme (UTP) and sold as a special offer for lifetime membership to Shaw Academy courses and the UTP; which included access to regular trading seminars and trading tools, plus exclusive use of the UTP MT4 Indicator and Trade Sizer products, and ongoing technical support.

I purchased the lifetime membership & UTP course offer, the content of which also heavily promoted a partnership link with Let's Trade Brokers.
As my interest is in trading, I subsequently did additional courses:
• The Foundation Diploma in Financial Trading and Investment
• Diploma in Gold Investment
• Diploma in Cryptocurrency

Overall, all the courses and video content were good and informative, and I’ve valued the ability to continue to access the courses online and revise the content regularly.

However, with no notice over recent years, Shaw Academy has withdrawn access to the Foundation Trading course and support for the UTP MT4 Indicator and Trade Sizer, which no longer work.

Weeks of emailing their support desk and getting mostly automated unhelpful replies can be summarised as they no longer support these courses or products. No similar alternatives were offered.

This was further compounded when earlier this month (March 24), I received an email from Shaw Academy stating:
… We hope this email finds you well. As a cherished student of Shaw Academy, we're thrilled to unveil some exciting news. In line with our rebranding efforts, we're delighted to introduce you to Upskillist – our new identity that encompasses everything you've come to love about Shaw Academy and more.
With a user-friendly interface and enriched educational resources, we're confident that Upskillist will revolutionize your learning journey.
To facilitate a smooth transition, we kindly request you to take a moment to register on the Upskillist platform using the same email address you utilised for Shaw Academy. This will enable us to seamlessly migrate your course progress and account particulars, ensuring the uninterrupted continuation of your learning endeavours.

As requested, I registered on the Upskillist platform using my Shaw Academy site details, expecting all my existing courses and the content to be seamlessly migrated to the new platform; however, only the Cryptocurrency course was transferred.

Again, I engaged in a very frustrating series of emails with their support dept to try to regain access to the courses; however, the responses from Upskillist (AKA Shaw Academy) support have morphed from:
… to clarify that we maintain separate databases for each website to ensure data integrity and prevent any mixing of information. All data related to Shaw Academy courses, including progress and resources, are stored securely in our database.
If you have already completed any courses or are in the midst of studying, rest assured that your progress and results are recorded accurately. However, if you encounter any discrepancies or issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to us for further assistance.
We recommend restarting your courses on our Upskillist platform to ensure a seamless learning experience and access to all relevant resources.
To:
… the following courses, "Foundation Diploma in Financial Trading and Investment", "Ultimate Trading Program" and "Diploma in Gold Investment" have been removed from our repository. As a result, you will not find them on Upskillist as they have become obsolete…

Upskillist/Shaw Academy has not delivered on its promise to seamlessly migrate my legacy courses or ensure the uninterrupted continuation of my learning endeavours on their new site. At the very least, they should maintain access to the paid-for legacy courses, especially for existing clients who had access to the Shaw Academy courses before registering and being transferred to the Upskillist platform.

Only one of my five original courses survives. Upskillist’s offered solution was that I could sign up for other available courses; however, the issue is that they are not currently offering other equivalent trading courses.

To date, I’m very frustrated and disappointed with the customer care and service received from Upskillist and feel compelled to share my experience on Trust Pilot, as I expect I’m not the only person that this has happened to.
