GBGuidelines are vague/wrong Guidelines are vague/wrong, no credit given for completed modules which then prevents the exam from launching. It's so unclear that it doesn't tell you that you missed the exam deadline - rather, the way it's written, made it seem the exam wasn't open yet to be able to write it. No help available. Terrible.

GBThis company is Satan incarnate This company, edX/2U, is performing a money grab. They advertise about this great opportunity, a way to improve your living situation by learning a skill that is in need. I was sold by their salespeople on a great opportunity. When I finished, received my paper, paid my money, and couldn't find work... I was told there was no guarantee to find employment. Every response seemed as thought it was scripted. not to mention, my mom passed away in the middle of the bootcamp I was enrolled in. I was grieving, I wasn't able to learn anything or retain any info. my mind was on mourning the passing of my mom. edx/2U counselors offered me one excused absence of the two days I missed when my mom passed. They didn't offer anything outside of that excused absence. No postponed class, maybe restart in a new class, a refund..Nothing. they are a greedy corporation that wants your money. I'm sure they've rebranded and are probably running this same scam under a new name. Just be careful.

GBThieves they will take your money Thieves they will take your money and put you in debt with a student loan. The course itself is very lacking the tutor is disorganised and they shouldn't be providing these higher level courses using UOB, Colombia and Harvard lol. Abysmal I cancelled my whole funding and course. They make constant excuses but never apologise really a joke. Please don't sign up to the tech courses they are 10k clown courses but will leave you in debt.

SEActual trash. Actual trash. They claim their concept is free education, with an added option to pay in case you want a diploma, but some of the courses straight up only offer you a THIRD of the course before asking you to pay to see the rest. Its a disgusting bait and switch one wouldn't expect from an enterprise touting about its ties to actual universities. Avoid at all costs. Also, the customer service is - as many have said - garbage.

GBEDX can be used in different ways EDX can be used in different ways. I personally have used EDX since its inception. I am a huge fan of e-learning and wrote to the UK government 40 years ago when the internet started with the massive opportunity it presented to improve UK education - deaf ears of course (read Rory Stewart's book on how government does not work). But EDX and FutureLearn have provided significant resources for everyone in the world online and if you 'audit' the course (as I do) then they are completely free. Yes some vary in quality, but some of the courses I have reviewed are simply the best courses I have ever taken in my life - and I have a UK Hons Degree done way back when. So, I suggest people stop & think before paying - Audit the course FIRST - then, if it is good quality and is what you expect, only then pay if you really need a certificate.
