Great course
Great course, super tution from Micheal Freeman and great office support from Jack. The foundation course in photography is very well designed and delivered. I found it very informative and thought provoking which has positively changed my approach to photography.

Could not have been more helpful
Bought for a Christmas present and had a slight problem gifting the access code. The Christmas break meant it was some time before the problem could be remedied so have not started the course yet but it looks great.
The support team were really helpful sorting out my glitches and I will certainly be using the site for further learning.

I bought the Garden Design DiplomaâŚ
I bought the Garden Design Diploma (Expert support) version as I needed to study remotely. I have had nothing but issues for several months now. There has been no feedback from my tutor since November and no resolution to the problem she and I are experiencing. I have sent countless emails to support with no replies. There is no interaction with fellow students either. The Garden Design Diploma has no coherent plan of lessons and is just stitched together mini courses that you can buy separately. I have asked for a refund back in December 2025 but have not heard anything back. Reading other reviews, I will also report to the RHS, and pursue a refund through the courts. Disgraceful.

"All the dirt" on Garden Design
I think the description of the "interact and discuss with other students" is a little misleading, when there are no other students in the class!
Also, I received a "message from your tutor", but there are no messages on the learning site.
The course content could be a little more self-contained, rather than require independent research. Although, there is nothing wrong with educating ones self, the course description may have been a bit "generous" in that regard.

Hi R,
Thank you for your feedback, and I'm very sorry to hear about the difficulties you've experienced following our extension of your time on the courses.
We're genuinely disappointed that this hasn't met your expectations, as this remains one of our most popular course series.
Technical issues like the message not being visible are particularly frustrating, especially when you're keen to get started, and not being in a busy classroom is really disappointing.
I'd really appreciate the chance to put this right for you. Could you please reply to our email from @learningwithexperts.com? I'd like to understand exactly what's happened and work out the best solution for you.
We're truly sorry for the inconvenience, and we hope to hear from you soon.
Best wishes,
Jack

They need to respond to any forms of contact
They need to respond to emails. I have requested assistance, advice, and various forms of support, but have not received any response. They are suitable for an online course, but when it comes to getting help or feedback, there is often no support available. There is no phone number providedâonly a form that relies on someone eventually responding.

There should be no stars as they donâtâŚ
There should be no stars as they donât even deserve 1 star! I realised this course was not fit for purpose within days of enrolling. The links donât work, the course is badly cut & pasted together & not RHS Horticulture standard. The platform is glitchy in so many ways it makes it difficult to navigate & it kept logging me out & then when logging back in kept throwing up error messages⌠I have tried to contact learning with experts about 11 times since - through all forms & no one has bothered getting back to me. I requested a refund within 3 days & again since many times. Not one responseâŚ.Yet they can send me endless sales emails & even an email from a person to push more onboarding of students but there is literally zero support - no phone number to call & all requests for help totally ignored⌠I am in the process of having to put an official complaint in to RHS as this provider is so unprofessional. RHS know about Leaning with Experts being a problem - the person I spoke to said there have been many similar complaints so I write this review to save others being ÂŁ1000 out of pocket so far & having the rig morale of potentially having to take them to court to get my money back - so utterly disappointing

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to leave this review.
We're very sorry that your experience with us hasn't met your expectations. As we've discussed via email, we have processed a refund in full for you. We have investigated the issues you had raised and are pleased to say all have been resolved.
We completely understand your frustration, and we're committed to putting this right for you.
Please do not hesitate to reply to our previous email or create a new thread at info@learningwithexperts.com if we can support you further.
We were not able to accurately assign urgency to the huge number of tickets we received throughout the festive period, and if we had reviewed your communications sooner, we would have seen how pressing getting this sorted was.
We genuinely value your feedback and are sorry we didn't get this right the first time.

Very bad experience for RHS L2
I would not recommend Learning With Experts.
I have been attempting to register for my RHS exams since September 2025. Despite repeated emails, LWE failed to respond for extended periods, leaving me without confirmation that I was even registered for the exams I am paying to sit. As of January 2026, this issue remains unresolved.
This has caused extreme and entirely avoidable stress and loss of valuable revision time. RHS is aware that this problem is affecting multiple learners, yet the situation has not been resolved.
Academic support has also been very poor. It was impossible to obtain feedback for three units because the named tutor, Noel Kingsbury, was non-responsive. For a paid qualification course, the lack of tutor engagement is unacceptable.
The course materials are low quality and contain numerous errors, especially when compared with other online horticulture providers such as the Horticultural Correspondence College.
The online learning platform raises serious privacy concerns. Assignments are expected to be shared publicly with all learners. This feels inappropriate and privacy-invasive.
The video content is poorly edited which further detracts from the learning experience.
Overall, this has been a deeply disappointing experience. Between the lack of tutor feedback, poor materials, privacy issues, and serious administrative failures around exam registration, Learning With Experts has caused far more stress than learning should ever involve.

ILearning with Experts save your money.
I have so far writen three reviews about Learning with Experts, The learning centre stated that I would get a full refund of the course fees, I have now wirten four times reminding them of this with both no responce and no refund. Please save your money and read all the responses before committing to this course. Personally I would no longer trust them for both their courses or promises of refunds.

We're pleased to have another place to express our apologies for the unacceptable wait over the festive period.
Whilst I am very pleased the refund was actioned back to you in the end, like we have discussed, it would have been fantastic for everything to run smoothly the first time, in preparation for your competition entry.
I have appreciated your replies since, and wish you all the very best in your photography work in the future.

A great fulfilling course!
A well structured and professionally fulfilling course. The blend of online videos, supplied course notes and tutor marked assessments was perfect for me, at my pace. This enabled me to successfully pass the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Principals of Horticulture course.
The tutor was always willing and able to provide invaluable insight and guidance.

Iâve had a weird experience with themâŚ
Iâve had a weird experience with them but I wouldnât recommend. I purchased a course and had issues with the subtitles. I emailed them and this did get sorted. On the last part of the course half the video then had no sound so I couldnât watch it . I emailed them and they apologised and told me to choose another course which they would give me free as an apology. I chose a course, 6 weeks, multiple emails, Facebook messenger messages later neither Jack or any other member of staff is responding and the course hasnât been provided. There is no telephone number or live chat as others have stated and itâs disappointing and not an acceptable service so I would never use again.
