Mentioned recently in a few NUS threads in the comments....but this really deserves its own deal!

For its happy meal price....you get around 10 lessons/modules in your chosen field delivered as individual bytesize 1hr live virtual classes, access to recorded sessions for any you miss...an exam to win yourself a NCFE Diploma level 4 qualification...the right to call yourself a student and eat beans on toast

Most will obv take advantage of the fact its a NUS approved edu centre to claim your deserved student cards for £13 posted

Others will relive that feeling of sleeping during lectures, being late to class.....yet somehow its amazingly good value for money and worth achieving the qualification which sounds better then it actually is!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Shaw Academy is not listed under a place of study for NUS extra card scheme. If it is still possible please can kindly advise otherwise the description is incorrect. Thank you.

I just bought a Card and it has The Shaw Academy on it so I don't know what you're chatting on.
- garyobargains

Awesome, someone answered my question. You sir are correct and it is in fact listed. I was going by someone else's comment and the fact I couldn't find it since I didn't type "The". Cheers!

I'm more interested in where you get your happy meals for £1.99 as that is a deal in itself. They are about £2.49 now.

Should get 200,000 ppl who think like you and start a pyramid scheme and every week pick one person who gets all the money then we have a few home owners on the market and only out of pocket just under £8 a month, only downside is some ppl waiting along time to get their payout but better than lottery eh :stuck_out_tongue:

I'd also check Quora and Reddit, for information on courses, there's so many free courses you can do. The real heavyweight free ones I'm about to show you, if you've never seen these before then you'll be amazed! Covers a wide variety of subjects >

https://www.edx.org/

https://www.coursera.org/

https://www.udacity.com/

Please note the above links in this post cover many topics not just computing. Here's an example how to find free courses using Reddit (the search I looked for in Google was 'Reddit free full stack web development')

https://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/comments/3vmhby/where_to_learn_full_stack_web_dev_for_free/

Free Web Development course from Microsoft! >

https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-dev-essentials-vs.aspx

Don't pay for anything, there's amazingly good quality courses out there for free! You just need to make the time to do them.

Last one (more computing sorry yes I know lol) >

Thanks for the reply just got my photography diploma with them wanted to take it further seems to be properly accredited also well worth doing hopefully I get similar offers.

SillyFencer

10 Jun 16 1 #206

After finishing the photography course, they have a bit of a sales pitch asking you to take out the membership (£29 per month). I didn't take that out, so they offered me a month trial free. I used the month trial to do a couple of other courses, but unfortunately the Advanced photog started at the end of my trial.

I had too many other things on to do it, so plan to take out a membership soon and do advanced photog and also photoshop or lightroom at the same time.

AP takes 2 months, so in theory it costs £60 (but during this time you can do other courses) too.

How much did you pay for advanced Photography I didnt see it on this offer ?

quick question on this, what dates do you put in and course details for the NUS extra card? Diploma doesn't seem to be listed, and is the card only valid for a month if the course lasts a month?

Nomnomchoons

Thanks, I've registered for free for photography starting May 2nd.

Is there any way to view the last course instead of waiting until May? I'd like to cram this into a weekend instead.

Does the "Final Month / Year of study:" date affect when the NUS card expires?

I can login without any problems, but I signed with Digital Marketing course which starts @ 2nd May.
Maybe try using password recovery function on their website? I had similar problem with some sites and sometimes I was able to log-in using newly generated password.

Thanks for that!

I've signed up for a Trading Programme, but I can't seem to log in? Is this an issue everyone else has, or is it just me?
They've sent me an email, so I'm definitely sure that I didn't misspell anything but when I try it just says that 'this email is not registered with the Shaw Academy'.

You'll actually enjoy theses courses... the main foundation diploma in photography is indeed run by shawacademy and its face value is about £379 ..or £349. the courses are via live webinar at certain times during the week, mainly from mo, wed, fri from 7pm-8pm (sometimes go over time as they have q and a , posted from students participation...and if you are not a member then the certificate is 5 euro... sometimes they offer membership at 60% off... I managed to do march 2016 course and received the diploma.- They also have a dedicated facebook page too, so you have to post assignments at the end of each module and there is a test at the end of the module and then there is final exam comprising of 100 questions too.

'Shawacademy' do other course too and if you pay membership per month then it will allow you to add, friends family members onto your account , and they can study and have access to courses of their own choosing, whilst membership is paid and current. (so you could divide the cost between everyone, that you add). For those that are interested, they offer an affiliate program too. So, no doubt some of the links posted here are from affiliate members and hence, receive a commission.

I know this might not be completely relevant but in case it may help anyone- many universities offer NUS cards to staff members as part of their benefits. I've just recently purchased a 3 year NUS extra card for £32 so its worth checking.

I have just completed the photography course. 10 x 1 hour lessens. They could be done in 1 hour lesson. The tutor repeats everything 3 or 4 times. You can log in live or watch videos. If you know nothing about manual mode maybe worth a punt. I got a nus card for £13 delivered.

I really enjoyed the photography course. The tutor was thorough (and yes,did repeat stuff a bit, but that's just a good way to drum it home). I went in knowing nothing about photography, but now know everything I need to know to get started. Thought about getting the membership at the end, but I've got other courses to do online and at evening classes at college so gonna give it a miss just now though.

Many thanks... I subsequently noticed that some of the other links you posted related to Ruby and Python.... either are useful for my line of work.... not essential but having Python and Ruby is definitely a bonus, so really appreciate these!

fishmaster

5 Apr 16 #153

Hmm I messed with Python, but I decided Rudy is where I wanted to go, I suggest looking on The HitchHiker's Guide to Python, probably will be the info you require there, I would guess there's more than enough info in this link >

http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/intro/learning/

It may help to look for scripting in the subject area, so for example if you're Python scripting for Maya or FreeCAD then you can find specific tutorials for those for example.

Some of these are very useful to me so many thanks..... are you aware of any good online Python scripting tutorials?

I did the diet and weight loss but to get the diploma you had to pay 5 euros tried to pay with paypal but would not go through, and stated you had to agree to using paypal for other payments, so not very happy, and really a waste of my time

Anybody else having trouble redeeming their code? I'm trying to register for the Excel course but the Shaw website at first kept trying to register me to the Photography course, now keeps asking for a voucher code, without giving me a box to write it in.

Can't get in contact with GoGroupie or Shaw by phone or email :/

cb-uk

26 Feb 16 #126

The NUS don't even bother checking any more - they are more concerned about trousering the card fee (which is basically around 90% clear profit for them)

So, if you want a little more kudos than Shaw Academy, just select Oxford University :wink:

I've done a course on the Shaw Academy before. You can catch up via on demand recordings (this was for the digital marketing course and I imagine will be similar for the other courses).

20 Feb 16 #97

Nothing in life is free. The course with Shaw Academy might be free to join but after taking the exam at the end and receiving the certificate, it costs £20 + p&p. It's a great find but it's certainly not free!

busterdan to brychris

20 Feb 16 3 #99

I think it stated £5... but to be honest... it's a bit fun, if the certificate is recognised then great, if not then no great shakes I'll maybe know a bit extra about photography.

Plus I can legitimately register for the NUS Extra card which offers wo pretty good discounts (half price Amazon Prime for example).

I was considering getting a NUS card after signing up for one of these courses but on the NUS site is asks for the course level. NCFE isn't listed so what are people putting?

Photography isn't listed under Course discipline either.

Is it really as simple as selecting 'other' for both?

When using the direct link to the Shaw Academy, when you click Enrol now, it asks you for a voucher code if using Google Chrome. Swapped to using Firefox and it worked - just in case anyone else is having issues.

Signed up for photography course, but haven't received email, as yet. How long did it take for others to receive confirmation email?

Does any one know if once you signed up for this NUS card whether it could be used for AMAZON STUDENT ACCOUNT - Cheers :smiley:

Yes am sure. For a different course I just sent a photo of my NUS card. They refunded the difference as I was on Prime and gave me 6 months free. Then £40 annual. Excellent service.

What did you put as your end date for the course when signing up for the NUS? My course is only for a month, March to April.

I don't care, for £1.99 I could get an NUS card.

20 Feb 16 #65

Hi, so have signed up and going for a NUS but am stuck already. I start in March and Nutrition course is just one month. Registration is asking for end date of course, so would my NUS card be invalid after just a month?

hummybee to Polar1

20 Feb 16 2 #72

I put March 16 to Feb 17. I don't think they will question it bearing in mind it's a 12 month card

If you look on your order email for the webinars there is an ID number. I just copied and pasted this and it accepted it, including the dashes.

People who signed up for the NUS card - what did you put in the field : Please enter your Shaw Academy student number ?

Thanks in advance.

Great when they where £1.99 and instead of a coke you ask "Can I have a coffee but can you leave the toy & box as dont want them". I am sure they hear what you ask but still give you the toy and box on purpose because you are a cheap skate and want to embarrass you in front of all the kids. Then you feel weird looking for a suitable child to give the toy too without looking like some kind of pedo.
Now that it is £2.49 you arent bothered about the toy as you want your monies worth and they now charge extra for the coffee. To be honest since the last price hike I avoid the place, too expensive now.

I'm more interested in where you get your happy meals for £1.99 as that is a deal in itself. They are about £2.49 now.

deany76 to caverncity

20 Feb 16 #56

just thinking that on Wednesday, McDonalds 'Happy Meals' prices should be the UK's retail price index. bring back £1.99

I would be very interested to find out more info about this course too. Also I assume that I wouldn't be able to apply for a NUS card if I took this course?

Any useful information would be appreciated.

On my reading you only have access for 1 month. There is no way I'd have time to do 10 modules in 1 month.

Digital marketing or psychology of sales would sound slightly better on the ol' LinkedIn but photography is probably a bit more interesting. Hmmm.

19 Feb 16 3 #13

brilliant deal , other half been looking into it but must be noted that there seems to be an admin fee at the end of the course and then a £15 charge for a hard copy of the certification

Just signed on for photography - will see how it goes - thanks OP :smiley:

can't go wrong at that price - two-thirds of a happy meal (approx) :smiley:

What are NCFE qualifications equivalent too? Last thing I want to do be doing is adding a made up qualification to my CV!

GamingDevil to Opheliac

19 Feb 16 #10

Level 2 would be equivalent to GCSEs and level 3 to A-level. Level 4 would be high diploma (or something like that).

NCFE is a recognised qualification.

I know the site says "We are accredited by the NCFE Diploma level 4" but are all courses at level 4 or various levels up to level 4 because I can't see anywhere that actually states the level?

GamingDevil

19 Feb 16 #3

The FAQ says this:

Does anyone know what it means by members? Members of what?

It also says
I assume the £1.99 doesn't include the cost of the Diploma being sent to you?

Has anyone done one of these courses before? Are they any good?
