A Star Equivalency Reviews 

I had an excellent experience with A Star Equivalency. Everything was very clear and well organised from the beginning. I was given all the information I needed in advance, so when I had my initial online call and document checks, I had everything prepared and the whole process took about a minute.

The teacher who invigilated my English exam was absolutely lovely. She was friendly, reassuring and very professional, and helped whenever she was able to within the exam rules. That made what could have been quite a stressful experience feel much more comfortable.

Communication throughout was clear, the process was straightforward, and I received my result quickly. I passed with the grade I needed and my university accepted the equivalency for my PGCE. I would definitely recommend A Star Equivalency to anyone who needs to complete an equivalency qualification.

Easy to book the exam. Used the free learning resources to help support me. Exam was carried out with no issues. Passed with a 7 first time. Highly recommend.

Great service. Very responsive to queries and clear guidance provided prior to the exam.
Paid for fast track results and rec'd results 2 working days after exam. Electronic certificate rec'd the same day.
4* due to cost. Very limited free resources and course +exam is expensive. Only one past paper to practice when you don't buy the full course.

My experience with A star has been excellent. The course subject are very educational, they break down information perfectly. The team have always been very helpful and professional. I cannot fault A star at all. Thank you for your exceptional courses! They have educated in many different areas if English, Maths and Science. I can now enrol on to teacher training.

I am particularly happy with the customer service because I am able to communicate with someone willing to help me and be there for me, someone who has supported me through my decisions and helped me choose the best route for me, this person is Poppy.
Poppy thank you very much for everything!

Poppy and Jack were super friendly and helpful. They made the whole booking experience comfortable and were there to answer any questions if i needed. Thanks for a great experience

Very patient guy, thanks for your help.

Jacob was brilliant. thank you very much. Very excited for the course

If you can, AVOID getting any bundles on here. Book an exam and get an account on cognito (more videos, more material, that is actually detailed and helped me pass second time).

They are trying to make money on anything. I paid £500 and had limited resources, BUT 'full access for extra £99', seriously? The first time I took the exam I only used the resources from this and failed - it wasn't detailed enough to prepare me for the exam. Yet, they claim that cognito and other websites teach you things you don't need for the exam. False! It wasn't until I sourced other materials from different websites that I knew what I was doing and passed. Cognito/YouTube is your best friend.

AStar charge extra for quicker results, they charge extra for a physical certificate, they charge extra if you want to take your exam on the weekend. If I was able to avoid this all together - I would have. Even two separate exams and material from cognito would have been cheaper than what I paid - genuinely feel ripped off, but I needed this to progress in my career, panicked and bought a bundle.

Comment to the reply:
As mentioned in my review, I bought your COMPLETE bundle for Combined Science course and did NOT have access to ALL of the relevant material. My access was limited (e.g. 1 slideshow out of 4 within one topic) Therefore, the bundle you sell is NOT complete; does NOT cover the topics thoroughly and does NOT prepare you for the exam. Hence why I failed the first time. Additional payment to access all of it, is indeed optional however after paying £488 - another £99 is a joke. Your prices are extortionate. Complete bundle suggest there will be no additional costs, like the physical certificate (not available to be purchased at booking and not included in the price.) Cognito is £9.99 per month and allows access to all resources that you may need for the exam. I still stand by my review - buy the exam and seek resources elsewhere.

Thank you for your kind words.

I was very nervous and unsure of my options at this late stage of my life. Having to do English and maths 30 years after leaving high school. The whole process was made clear and constructive by ASTAR. I would highly recommend as the agents always took their time in making sure you revised core topics. Im now going on to becoming a teacher all thanks to ASTAR.

It was nice experience and fantastic service

I would strongly advise anyone who has already purchased and successfully completed a course with A Star Equivalency to carefully review the Terms and Conditions before purchasing another course.
I initially purchased an English course and successfully passed my test after three weeks. I then needed to study for a Maths equivalency test and contacted A Star Equivalency for assistance. I clearly informed the agent who helped me that I had already purchased an English course from them. However, despite being aware of this, the agent did not mention or suggest the option of swapping courses. Instead, I was immediately sent a payment link to purchase the Maths course at the full price.

After purchasing the Maths course, I reread the Terms and Conditions and discovered that it is possible to swap from one course to another for a relatively small fee, rather than having to purchase an entirely new course at full price. I was extremely disappointed to discover this information only after I had already made a second purchase.

Considering the high cost of the courses in comparison with the amount of content provided, I contacted the company to request a refund for the Maths course and to use the course-swapping option instead. Unfortunately, my request was refused.

I find this decision unreasonable and very disappointing. As an existing customer who had already completed one course with the company, I believe the agent should have informed me of the course-swapping option when I explained that I had previously purchased an English course. A more transparent and customer-focused approach would have been greatly appreciated.

I would strongly recommend that other customers carefully check the course-swapping policy before purchasing an additional course, as you may be eligible to swap courses for a small fee rather than unnecessarily paying the full price for a second course.

I had very less time to complete English higher paper, my Uni had given a conditional offer. From my first contact to A star until I received my certificate everything was flawless. Swift response and support from Harry helped me receive genuine advice to get on with course itself and what package would be most suitable.
Thank you for everything again.

The online course platform has solid exercises based content that is optimal for exam practice. It was a game changer and truly helped me pass my exams. Had the chance to exchange with customer service who were also excellent. Strongly recommend A Star equivalency.

I had a great experience with A Star Equivalency. The whole process was quick and professional from start to finish. I especially want to thank Elisha, who was incredibly helpful throughout the process. She gave me great support when choosing the right exam and helped me with the booking process, making everything much easier and smoother. I really appreciate all her help and would definitely recommend A Star Equivalency!☺️🌸

I did my combined science equivalency and independently struggled. There is some of the science specification that they don’t add onto their course like food tests and more even though they make you pay extra for the course. I would have expected everything to be in the course. I would also expect the paper certificate to come with the price of the whole exam. Overall it was very good though, and I ended up passing on my 3rd try in August.

Very good system and clean quality

The platform is easy to navigate, useful practice exercises but i find the cost high like rearranging a different date for exam and most especially the fast track cost.
Generally, the service was good, supportive staff

Really pleased with my experience with Star Equivalency. Jack was absolute class, super friendly, patient, and cleared up every doubt I had. Outstanding customer support!

I passed my Maths with the first attempt after 3 months of preparation. Online course was very helpful. Customer service also very helpful. I can fully recommend it.
