The course is straight forward

The course is straight forward, well presented, well structured. The knowledge gained helps me to fulfill my role with confidence.
The members of the Open College team are highly professional and lovely to deal with. They assisted me every time I required help and they understood the challenges that a full time working student may encounter.
The tutors are there to answer all your questions and give you the guidance and feedback that you need.
I would highly recommend the Open College.
Thank you for your support.

Train the Trainer Course (QQI Level 6)

I've just completed The Open College, Train the Trainer Course (QQI Level 6) Online and cannot recommend it highly enough. I learnt a lot over the course of eight weeks. I'd highly recommend the course to anyone who is looking to become a Certified Trainer or who wants to learn more about Training Delivery and Evaluation. The tutor Lorraine is extremely knowledgeable in her field. Lorraine's weekly sessions were extremely beneficial and enjoyable. I would recommend this course and The Open College to anyone.

Hello and thank you for the feedback. You have left this review on the wrong page. We do not offer courses in Singapore where your review came from nor have ever had a student named Martin Law nor have any cancellation requests or refund request from a Martin Law.

We have sent you a request for further information which you have not replied too so you have either selected the wrong business or this is a fake review.

We have brought this to the attention of Trustpilot.

With Kind Regards. The Open College - Ireland.

Useless Money Racket

Poor Tutor , Irrelevant material , Assignments must be a minimum of 500 words from a one sentence Requirement . Feedback Absolutely awful from tutors . Take to long to respond to emails . Basically a money racket unless your doing really low level stuff . Better off paying the money to an established Educator & Not money grabbers looking for an extra few euro in resubmission fees.

Dear Aaron, We have repeatidly reqested additional information on your review and details of your student account as we do not have a record of you as a student with us. Due to the failure to reply to our requests and the fact your review pin is in the UK we deem that this is not a review for The Open College and could be for UK Open College network to which are nothing to do with us at The Open College in Ireland or it is a malious fake review. If you feel it is neither then please supply additional information to us or Trustpilot. With Kiind Regards, The Open College Team.

Edit 12/04/2024: Since you altered your review on 10/04/2024 with your last line but still provided no additional details of who you actually are, we are still unable to assist. The review in our eyes is a "spoof" and again not factual or real nor student related for The Open College Ireland.

Life Changing.

In 2009 I was made redundant after spending ten year's in a team leader role in a major manufacturing company where on a daily basis I worked with different team sizes of between six and forty two people and loved every minute of it. I had departed school at fifteen year's of age after my Mother Died with very little education other than the knowledge and experience that I had gained from minding my Mam from the age of nine.I began volunteering with the Special Olympics and also joined a local Fas scheme.I enjoyed these so much that I decided to register for a course in Intellectual Disabilities with The Open College in 2010. This was a very frightening experience for me considering that I was fifty year's old and returning to education which was also now computerised and online.The Open College could not have been more helpful or understanding the online tutors and mentors were amazing and helped me every step of the way.
Our Internet is poor because we live in the middle of nowhere and when I asked if they could post me the exam material in hardback format aswell as email, they had no problem with this.
I personally found this very helpful as I could put it in a folder, study it, highlight the main points and then handwrite my assignments which could be typed up at a later stage.
After completing the Intellectual Disability module I was over the Moon not realising that I needed a Major Award to regain employment.I now had a decision to make I could sit back and complain that I tried or I could convince myself to drive on and to try harder. Thankfully I chose the latter.
After a significant time lapse I contacted the Open College again and explained my mistake they fully understood and they also stood over the fact that I had previously paid a registration fee and that if I decided to continue that the registration fee would not be applied a second time which I was very grateful for.
Since I completed my Health Care Major Award with The Open College in 2013 I have had the Amazing opportunity of working with children with severe and profound health issues, children and adults with special needs, elderly people and also over thirty cases of palliative care. The Open College and it's online mentor's ,tutors and administration staff gave me the opportunity to change my life and the live's of those that I care for on a daily basis. I cannot recommend The Open College highly enough.
Do I have any regret's ? The only regret that I have is that I did not continue and complete a Degree which would have allowed me to convince, coach and train other's into achieving what I did. Thank You.

Hello Shane,

We're truly sorry to hear about the challenges you faced with our platform and the dissatisfaction you experienced with our service. It is not a common complaint and opposite of other reviews in most cases but your feedback is invaluable to us and we're committed to investigating this issue to enhance our service where we can.

Regarding your concerns about the service and the feedback you provided, we would like to mention that our Results Department received your email on Friday, January 12th, the same day you posted your review, and responded to you first thing on Monday morning, January 15th, with a promise to follow up on your query. By Tuesday, January 16th, they had processed and issued your results.

We understand there is an expected timeframe for the issuance of provisional results. However, your case coincided with the Christmas and New Year holiday period, leading to an unavoidable delay due to the college closure and our tutors' absence during the Christmas and New Year break. We sincerely apologise for this additional wait, although it was beyond our control.

We are pleased to inform you that, having received your results, you are now progressing towards your final QQI certification. While we value your feedback, we do feel the feedback might be overly critical especially considering you were replied to promptly and have successfully completed the programme with us and are on your way to receiving your QQI award.

Should you need any further assistance, please feel free to reach out to us at any time.

Warm regards,
The Open College Team

Applied for a course but after 5 days I couldn't find work placement so due to the cancellation policy, I decided to cancel my application and requested a refund in guidelines within the cancellation policy. I've been waiting nearly 3 weeks for a refund and the refund will not be in full as they charge you €150 for registration fee. Also when I was applying and cancelling my application I had to fill out questions such as provide summary of my education, skills, previous work exp etc along with proof of qualifications and when I was cancelling my application they needed to know why I was cancelling my application. Felt like I was applying for a job and not a course with all the questions they wanted answered and proof provided. Would not recommend this college to anyone. Very disappointed

Dear Megan,

Thank you for your feedback. We strive for fairness and transparency in all we do so we would like to ensure that what you have noted is factually correct. In reply to your points:

1. You enrolled on the course and accepted the Terms and Conditions when you completed your final enrolment. This includes and clearly notes the refund policies of the College.

2. The application process requires next steps where students have to complete what is called a Personal Learning Profile form. This is to ensure that the person enrolling can satisfy the entry requirements that are clearly noted on the Course description page from where you enrolled. You were not applying for a job rather notifying us that you had in place what was needed to complete the course successfully.

It would be unethical and unfair of us to allow anyone and everyone on courses that may not be able to complete them and in doing so would be setting people up to fail. If those requirements requested offended you then this was something that is out of our control.

3. You were set up as a student and administrative tasks took place from the moment you enrolled.

4. The cancellation process does not ask for your qualifications again for which you noted above it did. Reasons are requested for the cancellation which is normal practice.

5. Your reasoning for the cancellation was that you wished to consider a Healthcare Assistant role instead of a Medical Secretary.

6. We offered you the option to transfer to our QQI Healthcare Assistant programmes with no loss of fees or any additional administrative charges. You rejected this.

The option to transfer is still available to you, so if you change your mind, please let us know.

I have recently finished my level 6 early childhood care and education qualification online. My experience with this college over the last period of time has been nothing but amazing, they are so understanding and supportive towards you no matter what the situation may be. I also would like to thank joe for been so understanding and helpful when I fell behind on my course due to personal circumstances, he was always reassuring me and helped me reach my goal of completing the course. I could not recommend this college more to do online courses as I completed my level 5&6 with them online, and they have been nothing but amazing. I look forward to going onto further my studies with this college in the future.
Thanks again to joe and everyone in the open college for your help and support

I just completed a course with the open college. It was very easy and enjoyable. I had a dedicated tutor that I could email for support, and a helpline that I could phone. It was very professional, easy to follow, and I felt fully supported. I would highly recommend to anyone who needs flexible study options.

Business management module

The latest module I completed was business management. Although I have done several others, this particular module and tutor were excellent. The content was very well laid out, clear and concise, and very informative. Communication with the tutor was a breeze, and feedback from my draft assignments came back to me far quicker than I expected. Overall, this was a very positive experience for me and has given me the confidence to continue with my studies.

Train the trainer 5 stars …

I recently completed the train the trainer award and found it to be Exactly as described , distance learning. This means you have to be self motivated and be able to set aside time within those 8 weeks to complete the assignments .
Be accountable to yourself.

I purposely looked for a course like this as I have two jobs and a small child I did not have time to attend a course in person.
If you feel you need the added learning experience of a classroom then look for that, as I’ve read some of the past reviews and I can’t help but wonder what they expected !
I completed the course in 4 weeks regardless of my other commitments and experience was made all the better for meeting the outstanding tutor Lorraine Walsh . Lorraine is so knowledgeable and passionate and really cares about her students . She runs drop ins so students can ask for guidance and this was invaluable.
I thoroughly enjoyed the course and don’t mind waiting on certification ( as I see it can be an issue ) as my employer was happy enough to see my provisional results !

I wound absolutely recommend the open college and Lorraine Walsh’s courses in particular !
