The True Story Behind Exemplar Education
This Website is a complete trap. Regardless of what your child is struggling with, I would HIGHLY recommend that they do not use this platform, considering the vast variety of other platforms which are: Trusted, Safe, Secure and Reliable, in addition to the state school system, where children can receive as much help as is required for your child to learn and understand any difficult topics. Although this is not a scam, this company plays very carefully with its choice of words concerning its terms of use policy and seems entirely harmless through the way it's played out. THIS IS NOT A SUBSCRIPTION, where the user may stop paying monthly fees when they feel they have finished using the interface, yet the entire upfront fee (about £5000 or more dependant on what plan you choose) must be payed as Exemplar Loan out this money for themselves and force you to pay it out in order for them to make a profit over a terribly outdated interface which even a sixth-form computer science student could create with the help of a form group, yet it seems even more scammy once you open the homepage. COMPLETELY scattered with stock images of happy families of terrible resolution, and sometimes very buggy. If a customer is interested in this scheme, they will send over a person to assess your child in order to recommend the "best" plan for your family. This is an opportunity for the company to entice the consumer into spending more and more money compared to what they actually should by convincing the family that this programme is entirely unique due to it's features. What are these features? Let's look over them: You get to contact a teacher who can give advice on any topic your child is stuck on but it has to be during an extremely obscure timeframe which most likely doesn't resonate with your child's timetable (unless the child revises 24/7) - Your child receives access to every topic in the GCSE course, yet to access a specific topic, you need to use a buggy interface and even more obscure topic names without any system to tell you which ones you've done, unless you create an assessment programme, in which your child has to answer over 150+ questions on an extremely (I repeat) BUGGY interface, with no way of editing previous answers and afterwards, the system determines which topics your child needs to learn dependant on the assessment. Let's say that your son/daughter decides not to use exemplar for a short break (maybe 3-4 months) and the child has changed year group and requires to learn new topics that they have not yet reached on exemplar. This happened to my son, and he tried to contact the live support, yet they claimed that they could not move him up a year group and that he would have to complete all of his required tasks (which he may have already mastered at school) and waste a whole lot of time trying to progress the system to a point where the child can find the work actually useful. I completely understand that this programme has helped a multitude of families across the UK, yet the reality is, is that it is a complete waste of money and schools already probably have programmes such as Seneca Learning, Hegarty/Sparxmaths and any other programmes necessary for the child to help its learning progress. If I were you, I would stay far away from this moronic application and save lots and lots of money otherwise. Unless you are completely sure that your financial circumstances won't change, It's probably not the best way forwards. And anyhow, 400,000 pupils for 32 years is terrible numbers compared to Hegarty Maths' critically acclaimed status in the span of 10 years.
