Hear from our students

"While searching for course providers I was very happy to come across StaySharp as I loved that it was affordable on a pay-monthly scheme, unlike other providers who have you pay the full amount regardless of how long it takes you to complete- I am lucky that I have lots of spare time and managed to complete the course in 9 months, so I only paid for 9! ”

Jillian Neathey CIPD Student

“The course itself has been incredibly insightful and well-structured. The modules are designed to build on each other, which ensures that I fully understand each concept before moving on to the next. The real-life case studies and practical assignments have been particularly helpful in applying what I’ve learned to my current role.”

Billy Bellion CIPD Student

"I went with StaySharp because it stands out for its monthly subscription option, giving me the flexibility I need. With this setup, I found myself more motivated to stay on track and finish my qualification faster. In fact, I completed it in just 5 months thanks to this approach! ”

Bertha Dewi CIPD Student

"I’ve found stay sharp well organised and easy to follow. Great for diving into when I’ve got a chance and easy to pick back up when I’ve been too busy to look at it for a while. The teams always been there if I’ve needed help. "

Charlie Sheppard CIMA Student

"I've been using StaySharp to study for the Level 2 AAT qualification for around 6 months and I think it's such a great tool for anyone who wants to self-study. I have done 3 exams so far with just one more to go and scored over 90% in each of them. "
