Thanks for pointing that out. The real link works but when I add it to here it changes for some reason. If someone could help me that would be great.
thanks - have signed up. wonder if it will be any good...

Give a fake phone number, or use a spare sim. Otherwise they'll hound you for weeks trying to you to sign up for the next level course.
Courses are half decent, would recommend the photography one.

Don't suppose you can use these to get an NUS card?

I did the photography one a few months ago, worth doing.
Note you need to pay €5 if you want a certificate at the end.

Be wary - paying for a month which is £29, my month expires in 7 days and have been trying to cancel for a few days now. Tried calling on several occassions, no one picks up, emailed them asking them to contact me. It's like they are intentionally avoiding me. Anyone know If I could contact my bank and ask them to stop payment?

If you used direct debit you can pull it back and or cancel it, but if you gave the long number on the front of your card, you may have trouble.
This may help. I Hope So.
Let's just repeat that for emphasis: the card provider must cancel or decline further payments when you withdraw consent for them.
The Financial Conduct Authority is pretty clear about this. They say:
"...you do have the right to cancel directly with your card issuer. Once you have done this, it must stop payments immediately - it cannot insist that you agree this with the company taking the payment first."
And, elsewhere:
"If you have ever had one of these payments set up and then struggled to cancel it, you should be aware that you have the right to cancel through your card issuer and to complain if it does not do so."
But still, try to cancel the payment through the company first. There are two good reasons for doing so.

No clue how true any of these are, so take with a pinch of salt.
