Still Waiting for Certification

I have completed a Level 7 Occupational Health and Safety Course in July 2025 and it is now the 12th December and I still have not received my certification. Emails do not get responded to, I have called the office and have been told they will pass a message on to the team at 9am - no one to actually speak to. My employer is concerned and I am concerned this certification will not arrive. Its a really poor service. The portal is very poor and basic, you cant talk to other people on the course, when you ask for help you have to speak to someone in another country days after your initial request. My over all experience has not been a good one- compared to a NEBOSH course I wouldnt recommend. All I want is my certification to arrive and confirmation I am going to get it.

Dear Nicola,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the delay in receiving confirmation caused you concern and appreciate the opportunity to clarify this.

We would like to confirm that your Level 7 Occupational Health and Safety Diploma certificate was successfully issued and emailed to you on 19 December. If you are unable to locate this email, we would be more than happy to resend the certificate or provide additional confirmation for your employer.

We acknowledge that communication during this period did not meet your expectations, and for that, we sincerely apologise. December coincided with a high volume of certification processing and internal system updates, which regrettably led to delays in responses for some learners. This has since been addressed to ensure improved response times going forward.

Regarding the learning platform, LSBR programmes are designed as self-paced professional qualifications, focusing on structured materials, assessments, and academic guidance rather than cohort-based interaction. We understand that learners may compare this to other providers such as NEBOSH, and we respect that different formats suit different learning preferences.

We truly regret that your experience caused unnecessary stress, particularly given your employer’s expectations. Please be assured that your qualification has been awarded, and we remain available to support you should you require any further documentation or verification.

With warm personal regards,

Roger Smith,

Excellent opportunity to study Neuroaesthetics

It was fantastic to find a Certificate in Neuroaesthetics, showing just how on the pulse LSBR is. As soon as I purchased the course, I was contacted directly via my phone, with instructions and support. It was smooth and efficient setting up online and accessing help if I needed it. I am thoroughly enjoying the course and was also given the opportunity to extend my time. I am most grateful for this flexibility and am excited to finish the certificate.

BRAVO LSBR !!!

I researched many online schools before enrolling in a program at LSBR, and as a university professor in Benin, Africa, I am very satisfied with LSBR. It's a leading online school that I find excellent and ideal for achieving the dreams of anyone who aspires to boost their career through professional certifications or top-level degrees. I'm African from Benin and have held engineering and doctoral degrees since 1995 (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland, but I have now successfully obtained about ten certifications at LSBR. This convinced me so much that I enrolled and have almost completed an MBA + L7 in IT and a Doctorate (L8 + L7) in Cybersecurity.
I would also like to mention that Dr. Kumar is always available and promptly helps me address all my concerns.
I also want to give a shout-out to Reena.
Well done, LSBR!

Dear Ivy,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand your frustration and sincerely apologise for any inconvenience you experienced.

After reviewing your case, we can confirm that full access to the Advanced Certificate in Legal Research Methods course — including study material, reference resources, and the assessment quiz — was successfully granted shortly after your enrollment. You were also able to access the LMS, participate in the assessment, and download your award certificate.

However, we truly regret that you felt unsupported during the process. As discussed with Dr. Arun Kumar during your recent WhatsApp conversation, we are committed to helping you restart the course afresh. We have already agreed to reset your course progress and reactivate full access, so that you may complete the program again at your own pace with continued support.

We are currently awaiting confirmation of the chargeback withdrawal from your bank, which is required for us to proceed with reactivating your LMS access. As soon as this is received, we will immediately restore your account and provide dedicated assistance throughout your learning journey.

Your satisfaction and academic success remain very important to us, and we look forward to supporting you positively moving forward.

Dear Keith,

We are genuinely concerned to hear about your experience, as this is not reflective of the standards we strive to maintain at LSBR. Our courses use academically curated materials, assessor-reviewed content, and globally accredited qualifications. The assessment system is periodically audited by the awarding bodies, and any marking concerns are always reviewed when reported.

However, we couldn't locate your learner record based on your review profile. To help us address your concerns properly, could you please email your full name, registered email address, and enrolment details to Admissions@LSBR.UK or contact us via WhatsApp at +44 7360 275888?

We are committed to resolving any issue constructively and ensuring that all our learners receive the support, clarity, and academic value they signed up for.

We look forward to assisting you further.

A waste of money and time

THIS IS A SCAM. And a waste of money and time. The “course” is just a series of summary PDFs, with a couple of videos (that don’t work) thrown in at random intervals (i.e never coinciding with what you are learning about). The course dashboard is really frustrating to use. It never remembers where I am in the course, but instead takes me all the way to the quiz at the end. I have to scroll back through 40 pages just to get to where I was. I have contacted admissions about this twice over the past week, but no one replies. Don’t waste your time and money.

Dear Elena,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your learning experience did not meet your expectations.

At LSBR, we strive to provide structured study materials, reference resources, and tutor support to ensure a meaningful and engaging learning experience for all our learners. We apologise if the course navigation and video resources did not function as intended in your case — this was certainly not the standard we aim to deliver.

We also regret that our response was delayed due to an internal ticket routing issue, which has now been resolved. As a gesture of goodwill and to ensure your satisfaction, your course fee has been fully refunded, and your enrollment was cancelled as per your request.

We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continuously improve our learning platform and support services. We remain committed to offering quality online education to all our learners.

We are pleased to confirm that your Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care certificate was successfully issued by the awarding body on 13 June 2025, following the completion of the external quality assurance and verification process. As awarding bodies conduct mandatory academic checks to preserve the integrity and worldwide recognition of the qualification, these external reviews can sometimes take longer than anticipated.

We understand how important timely certification is for our learners, especially when it relates to employment or further studies, and we truly regret the inconvenience this delay may have caused. Please be assured that our team consistently followed up with the awarding body on your behalf and kept your case active until the certificate was released.

I passed but would never use LSBR again

Having now completed the OTHM Level 5 Diploma in Business Management, I feel able to leave an honest review without fear of it negatively impacting on my course.

I enrolled on the course in November 2023. On 13 November 2023 I attempted to begin the course, but found I was unable to access the materials and emailed LSBR, having been unable to reach them by phone. I never received a response to my email. Fortunately, the issue appeared to resolve itself, and in January 2024 I was able to begin my course. At this point I was surprised to find that, despite being described as a LMS, I was merely provided with a list of links to read (many of which did not work, or led to sites that required additional payment) and there was to be no contact with a tutor. In fact when I requested course materials that, according to the assignment submission guidelines, was to be supplied by a tutor, I was told “The learner can select any organisation based on UK for the same”.

Nonetheless, I managed to pass 5 out of the 6 units without issue. However, my assignment for the unit The Management of Human Resources was rejected twice, the second time with the additional feedback that I should use “proper numbering”! After requesting more descriptive feedback from the assessor without success I requested a phone call. I was contacted via WhatsApp with the message “Hi. ur assessor from london school. if u r free we can talk” - which obviously did not fill me with confidence. After confirming I was free, I then received a WhatsApp phone call by someone who gave their name as Natasha. Communication with Natahsa was not easy as she had a very strong Indian accent, the line was bad, and her child was screaming and shouting in the background throughout the entire duration of the call. Despite this I managed to establish that this assessor had requirements that went beyond those set out in the assignment submission guidelines provided, and on the third attempt I was able to pass the unit.

Whilst I am pleased to have achieved the qualification, my experience with LSBR has been disappointing due to poor communication and a lack of professionalism and if I had been aware from the outset that (despite the name) LSBR was not a UK based organisation, I may have chosen an alternative training provider.

Regarding the course materials and tutor support, our Learning Management System (LMS) is designed to provide learners with comprehensive self-study resources, including reading materials, reference links, and assignment guidelines. However, we acknowledge that some links may have been outdated or inaccessible, and we regret any inconvenience caused. We will ensure that our academic team reviews all materials to prevent such issues in the future.

With respect to your concerns about assessor feedback, we understand the importance of clear and constructive guidance. While our assessors follow standardised evaluation criteria, we recognise that communication plays a key role in a learner’s success. We sincerely regret if the feedback provided to you lacked clarity and are taking steps to improve the consistency and professionalism of our assessment support.

Furthermore, we acknowledge your concerns regarding the call with our assessor. We strive to provide a professional and supportive environment for all learners, and we apologise if the experience did not reflect our usual standards. We will be reviewing our assessor engagement process to ensure better communication and professionalism moving forward.

Lastly, while LSBR is a UK-registered institution delivering Ofqual-regulated qualifications, we operate as an online learning provider with a diverse and global academic team. We regret any misunderstanding regarding our operational structure and will work towards making this clearer in our communications.

Despite your concerns, we are delighted that you successfully completed your OTHM Level 5 Diploma in Business Management and appreciate your perseverance. We truly value you as a learner and would love the opportunity to regain your trust.
