The award winning StudentCare is a scam. Don't believe their lies. They have been really unhelpful, don't address the concerns I brought up, and generally show a lack of empathy towards my situation. From the outset the StudentCare has not been as advertised. My initial advisor couldn't even give me access to the Full Stack Developer course, so I had to start with the ISTQB qualification instead. They were supposed to check in with me regularly, and I even provided my availability, but I was never called at those times. When I completed the ISTQB material, I requested my exam to be scheduled—this was back in May 2024. Several advisors later, I had to follow up myself to get it actioned, as it was clearly forgotten. Now that they've updated the ISTQB course I can no longer see the hours of material that I completed previously. There has been no communication about this, and there has been no discussion about extending my course period due to all the time that has been wasted. I have also had advisors give me generic 'copy and paste' responses such as: "I would recommend that you utilise the AI Learning Assistant, as this is a great tool that may support you. If this continues to be something that doesn't work for you, it may pay to book in with one of the coding tutors for some further support." They rarely addressed my actual questions, which was frustrating. I've also found some of the material is outdated. For example, one of my portfolio projects was to build a Reddit client using their API and create-react-app, but that command is no longer the recommended way to set up a React project. I had to take the initiative and figure out a better approach, eventually using Vite instead. While this problem-solving was a good learning experience, it highlighted that the course materials aren't always up to date. Given the price I paid for this course, I expected better follow-through and more reliable assistance.
