London School of Business and Finance- Professional Qualifications

FA lecturer Reg should realise she is teaching adults not the kids as she often acts like a teacher in a Primary School.

Did my PG in Business Management here. I can highly recommend the school. This gave me a much clearer insights on how to run my business.

Poor service and poor tutors.. service provided for ACCA obu is really bad..

FRAUDSTER DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM WORST EDUCATION PROVIDER OF ACCA EVER NONE OF THE TUTORS REPLIES, REFUND QUERRY TOOK 4 WEEKS

STAY AWAY ! I was robbed Do not give your money to these people! They do not care about students only spend money on advertising Quality of study material is garbage and even copied from BPP texts You cannot use it to study They add zero value I simply cannot believe CIMA ever associated with these cunning phoneys Stay well clear of them as I lost thousands of pounds to them and have nothing to show for it and no recourse

Did my MBA & PG in Business Management here. I can highly recommend the school. This gave me a much clearer insights on how to run my business...

Came here years back great AAT tutor ! Amazing guy

Those two years was great ....Job and Study both in same time ,lots of help by professors .

MBA Candidate Class 2015 - If you want to experience the worst time of your life, LSBF is the great place to go. You will be able to learn how management should NOT work and how to be scammed and and lose your money. I can not believe that LSBF still exists. #lsbf #thieves #scammers

Had a chance or shall I say an opportunity to attend a class here and the class was very informative. Their lecturers were very intelligent and brilliant

This place is a scam. The Indian lady at customer service is very rude. I’ve applied for a refund 3 months ago, still no money in my account. This is not a real school. SCAM

I am really enjoying the faculty, the environment and studying here. I have made a lot of friends. The course is of course hard but the teachers are really very good. I would recommend this course to other people from Pakistan. I also very much enjoy London!

This is the worst college . I'm trying to worn all future students to AVOID this college. Few reasons: MANAGEMENT its so poor( they wont get in touch with you unless you email them 100 times, another hundreds of phone calls then after they playing around just to makes you to start your issue from the beginning ), very RUDE - INCOMPETENCE staff, administration basically doesn't exist and teachers......most of them......speechless...and many more.

Great place. Locations are very interesting and simple to understand, qualification of lecturers is very high, many good examples and group work. I sure that knowledge that I get here would make enormous impact on mu future.

The worst experience in my whole life!!! this is not a real school, the tutors are random people, very low competence! They are providing you with some ridiculous slides and talking common things. The level is really very low. For this huge amount of money I would expect more. At the end they ask you to write an academic paper on topics that you have never covered in the class. The learning materials do not match with the assignments. The organization, structure of the whole process is horrible. Pls do not waste time and money!!!! It is not worth at all! I really regret!!!

I chose LSBF after hearing such great things from a close friend who graduated with a fantastic job after he graduated from the school. I am glad that I followed his advice! I found the course to be extremely industry relevant. The lecturers were able to share tons of real life experience, which really made the topics come to life. The staff were fantastic and the school provided the opportunity to network with future business leaders from around the world!

overall experience at LSBF is good. well experienced and helpful tutor is the best thing over here. As being situated at heart of London , even if you don't like the campus the places nearby are happening. flexible timetable give you enough room to study and prepare for Ur exams. thumps up .

Lsbf is an interesting institute I must say and its got a first class student to lecturer communication and holds students from different places all over the world which makes it a great place in terms of student social life. And I wouldn't think twice recommending it to friends and family because its a wonderful place to build a career.

Absolutely horrible, Don't come here. Otherwise, you will loose your valuable time. Threse is no support for students. They think only about money. But some teachers are nice and experienced.

I'm studying the post graduate certificate with LSBF and so far I've been especially impressed with the lecturers real world experience and how the theory applies to business goals from any angle that need be considered. The campus and facilities are in a central location located a few minutes away from kings cross and all core facilities are provided such as a library and online course management.

Absolutely horrendous! The worst experience I have ever had! They treat international students like trash. A single day's absence is responded to with strong worded email with threat to report the student to Home Office and close their account. Appalling study environment in my opinion because you are so scared of what they can do that it is difficult to concentrate, besides the staff are so rude and treat international students as if they are doing them a big favour! Lecture materials for ACCA are outdated e.g 2014 is simply changed to 2013 with a piece of paper to mention but a few! Only interested in students money! Makes a clear distinction between international and home students(home students are treated differently). I promise you will regret. Very nice to you before you pay fees in full once they get your money, it's a HELL HOLE. Run don't look back forget their marketing campaigns, read reviews on them, my candid advice in summary is:NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE! ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD! TO BE FOREWARNED IS TO BE FOREARMED

After reading the comments on here, I am a bit surprised and didn't have this experience. Judging from the reviews, I'd say that the University isn't a good choice for MBA's, post graduate's and short courses. Maybe my experience wasn't as bad because I was a part time evening student. I studied a professional paper. The lectures and tutors are amazing but the administration is terrible. In regards to the actual course, ie course materials, online classes, tutors being easily contactable, it is great. The admin is lacking. This is the only reason they did not get 5 star's.

Living the experience so far as an MBA student. Great support from tutors and student support officers. Well structured course. The learnings are really adding value as an employee in the banking sector.

One of the worst experience, I ever had. I have a lot of gabs because most of the teachers don't know how to teach and I had to do my own research from the internet so i could learn and pass my exams. Book materials are not good sometimes information from questions are missing or the answers in the back of the book don't much with the questions , class notes the same think . They only care about the attention and not for the students. Comparing the answers in the books with the answers they give you in the class , they are not the same and during the revision you are getting confused instead of learning. I am very dissatisfied with the college i wouldn't recommend it to no one. If you actually want to learn anything, you should not go, I am really really disappointed!!!!!

Completely avoid this place. I applied for £3000 refund which they accept as this was due to completely their own incompetency.(they changed their requirements for English language after they offered me the place.)Now three months I still didn't get the refund.(which supposed to happen after 21 days!) They don't reply to emails, update on tickets, and if you leave message for Fee commitee team they simply ignore you. I think I already call them 20 times as I desperately need my money to clear my debt. Still no chance. I am wondering if this place really locate in England!!!.

it's okay if you are strong enough to fight with the situation they will put you in otherwise PLEASE better find other way AND ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO GIVE FIVE STAR TO THIS COLLEGE HAVE NO IDEA IN OVERALL WHAT ARE THE QUALITY OF FIVE STAR.

I’ve completed few short executive courses with LSBF since 2015, including a Postgraduate Certificate in Finance, and they were all impactful in my career. Tutors are truly experts in their field of teaching; courses are very well designed, and up-to-date, mode of delivery also involves class discussion, role-plays, and case studies. Class size is small and we have the chance to interact with students from all over the world, which is an excellent opportunity to network, share ideas, and understand their business perspectives. Excellent value for money, especially after you become part of their Alumni, as you can claim a 20% Alumni discount. Furthermore, they are BAC accredited and you can earn CPD points from their courses. LSBF - By far, the best choice.

I studied Business English at LSBF in Toronto and I had one of the most wonderful experiences in my life! The teachers are just great and they really put an effort to make the classes interesting and updated according to the industry trends. I feel like I really improved my skills in the language, especially in the business environment. Also I made very nice friends and I miss Toronto sooo much!! It’s such a great city!!

I agree with all negative comments. I had a quite confusing experience at lsbf, for of all the the lectures are good, but their management is horrible. They wont get in touch with you unless you email them 100 times. Also, they are rude. I had a friend who did a degree there, she was so disappointed.

It took them 6 months to mark my dissertation. And the whole page will not be enough to list all inconveniences i had to face in the year of studies. I went to study digital marketing but most tutors are only familiar with traditional marketing. Overall it was a waste of time. The only good thing about the school was Andrew Walker who taught us Web Metrics for 2 months. He gave us a leading edge knowledge. Thanks to that I got an internship in one of the UK top expert companies on search engine optimisation.

一家骗钱的野鸡学校，当年被坑过。。。The worst experience in my whole life!!! this is not a real school, the tutors are random people, Pls do not waste time and money!

A great community to help You pursue your dreams. Miss Agata is very representative and helpful <3

I am studying PG certificate in LSBF, and I am getting the most positive Feelings every class, like it so much. Teachers are very useful and positive that gives me confidence in my future plans

LSBF is the right place in London to continue my ACCA studies. Getting a world class education from the highly professional and experienced tutors is something I was looking for. The quality of study materials and the entire learning environment is absolutely fantastic. I am enjoying studying here.

Avoid going there. The worst place to study ever. They treat international students as a trash. No respect at all from reception team. There are 200 students in some rooms. DO NOT GO THERE!!!!!!!!!!

Great place to study. Excellent tutors to help you in your profession. Studied ACCA and on the verge of completing with LSBF's help.

One of the worst private colleges in the UK. The owner doesn't even care if anyone shows up to classes or not, this is exactly why their student visa status was withdrawn from UKBA. The staff members are rude although some of the lecturers are all right. Definitely NOT recommend it unless you are here to work not study.

A sham of an organization. Student facing employees are racist, management is racist with staff as well. Have been exposed for fraud with students on UK TV investigative shows, lost the right to sponsor students yet they continue to retain ACCA ALP status which is completely undeserved and a miscarriage of justice. They destroy students and employee's lifes. Even the professional complaints dept, is a sham run by a person who doesn't even know what a Completion of Procedures certificate is, yet they are not stripped of their ALP status despite claiming to have entire internal complaints process. I personally know students whose life was destroyed by this sham of an organization.

I studied at LSBF and it is very strange for me to read all those negative words about it. I studied MBA full-time, graduated last year. The only drawback I can think of is the timetable which is not always convenient but this is subjective, of course. The tuition they provide is good and all in all they gave me a good start.

i am doing BA( HON). MY STUDYING IS GOING GOOD IN LSBF

Amazing experience during the time I spent there. the quality of the lecturers is really good.

i have had a very good experience at LSBF - teaching and resources available have been very helpful. i hope to continue on this journey of learning and discovery

Teachers are great but student service staffs are so rude. They treat you like you are begging them something. Horrible!

I am an Msc. Finance student and i am so delighted i attended LSBF as the lecturers are so attentive to student needs. i must acknowledge to the fact that i have really seen valued added to my knowledge base and i would not hesitate to recommend this institution to prospective students.

I HATE THIS COLLEGE AND THE STAFF. DONT GO TO THIS COLLEGE. THEY WILL SPEAK NICE UNTIL U PAY IN FULL!!! (HOME OFFICE WITHDRAWN ITS SPONSORSHIP LAST WEEK BECAUSE OF SOME FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY BY ITS MANAGEMENT) BE AWARE!!!!!!!!!!

It is a fantastic school! I study ACCA and MSC here. And very enjoy the study and services!

Avoid this institute at all cost. I joined for an online msc program, to see incredible delays like 10 months to release a module result. Lack of communication and zero transparency.

I have been with LSBF Since the beginning of 2011 until now .Initially I studied ACCA and Now I am continuing with my MBA .Most of The teachers have been real experts in their own subjects and the way they teach is really interesting and makes the subject really easy and brings it to life.Location is really good as it is situated in the city of London where you come across all the financial institutions and their workers. It gives you a feel of being in the real financial world. I met students from around the world during my studies and made some good friends . I have been happy with choice to study with LSBF.

Studying for CIMA at LSBF has bee n a good experience. The Tutors are quite knowledgeable and create a great learning atmosphere. The staff are also very helpful and on hand to help with any issues. I would definitely recommend.

My unresponded to feedback. Falsely advertised, badly taught course. A waste of money. Hi I wanted to lodge a complaint for the course I completed yesterday. The course structure was quite different to what I expected and was advertised in the attached syllabus. I was looking for a short management course that would ready me for a management position, and chose LSBF as a reputable college which would provide an academically focussed course. This was reinforced by the syllabus which structures the course as below. A key missing aspect is assessment, feedback and independent study, and the resources to do this. There was no coursework and no access to learning resources on the online platform. This is something that I think would be important to reinforce learning outcomes. The academic rigour of the course was also missing on the course as I felt that the core theories were glossed over and represented on a single slide which was briefly mentioned in almost all cases. One might say that the two day course time limited the depth we could go in. I agree with this, but I have attended professional education courses in the past with a bigger scope where much more content was covered in less time. A lot of time was spent generally discussing management related and psychological issues, but not much time in the ‘meat and potatoes’ of management theory, its implications and recommendations. We also spent a long time on exercises which had very little actual value to the study of management, but were more like games to pass the time, or were more similar to team building exercises. Case studies were provided, but only to be read as homework between the two days. I found these useful, and felt they really would have improved the course if they had been implemented into the classroom study part of the course. Only one of the case studies was mentioned in the course as we spent a small amount of time discussing the questions. Applying the theory to real life situations would have helped to increase the effectiveness of the course, and I would expect most of the learning to be case study based with a business school like LSBF. In terms of content, the course content outline points to management environment, organisation culture and the nature of managerial work; but these were missing from the course. A key takeaway I wanted was managerial work activities with some detail into how to approach each of these activities. I don’t feel we went further than discussing managerial traits. Failing to cover these has made me feel ill prepared for my prospective role. In light of the course cost, I also expected to be provided with materials which significantly cover the course learning outcomes. The main material provided was a print of the presentation slides, and I did not receive a copy of these. There was one copy too little and this was not rectified. Irrespective, I felt this was another failing of the course. I have also checked the online learning platform for additional content but there was no content uploaded. Overall I was left quite disappointed with the course and don’t feel I got value for money or that the learning outcomes were met to a significant degree. Notably, the course lacked tangible content and if the course is to be judged by the reading material pointed to, then it failed to deliver. My notes for the course were around one side of A4 for the main theory covered and I really believe this could have been covered in an hour or two. The assessment was also missing from the course and is clearly noted on the course structure. I don’t feel I would have been well prepared for an assessment without a lot of additional private study. Through all these points, I feel that the academic focus of this course was lacking and I did not take away as much as I could have by a large margin. I expected more from LSBF from the way the course was marketed beforehand and the price of the course. To be honest, I do not believe I received what I paid for.
