Elizabeth School of London Reviews 

I have been working at ESL for the past two years, and it has been an incredibly rewarding journey. I started in Reception, where I loved welcoming students, making them feel comfortable, and helping them with anything they needed.

I am now working as an Employability and Careers Consultant, and I genuinely enjoy what I do. Being able to support students with their future careers and aspirations is very fulfilling. During my time at ESL, I have gained so much valuable experience and knowledge, both professionally and personally. Every day has given me opportunities to learn new skills, build my confidence, and develop my understanding of supporting students from a wide range of backgrounds.

I have also been fortunate to work with such kind, supportive, and hardworking colleagues. Over the past two years, we have built strong friendships and always work together as a team, supporting one another whenever needed.

Working at ESL has helped me become a more confident, adaptable, and well-rounded person. I am always willing to support different departments and contribute wherever I can to ensure both students and staff have the best possible experience. I am proud to be part of an organisation that values teamwork, kindness, and continuous learning. I look forward to continuing to grow, learn, and contribute to ESL for years to come.

1 star is too much. From an inept student support team, to a disastrous academic team and professors. The only good thing I have to say about this 'university' is that sometimes you can classes sooner.
Student support had no answers for student questions. Rejected GP signed sick notes saying 'they cannot verify', and for a while even rejected self certification to explain absence.
Northampton campus director is absolutely useless for Woodlands House campus , repeatedly promising things that will never get done, being rude and dismissive to students that pay to be there.
Lecturers are highly unskilled, or lack english knowledge and experience - they do not understand the things they teach, so mostly read from PowerPoint slides. Questions asked by students often go unanswered, or answered badly. One professor even used ChatGPT in class to resolve a question asked by a student. Inept, unprofessional, substandard are the most fitting words that come to mind. Avoid at all costs, not worth the ink the 'certificate' you get is written with.

Extremely unprofessional company to work with. An obvious scam is operating with the government as well as students. Collapsed system, broken education system, under qualified lecturers, favouritism on its peak, controlling environment, fragile working environment. Bypassing government and giving admissions to not eligible students.

What can you say, ink will finish, words will finish, hands will get tired, still i will not be able to finish the problems students are facing at this education providers.

SCAM ALERT! STAY AWAY FROM THIS!

My experience at the Elizabeth School of London has been extremely disappointing and frustrating.

I am studying the Foundation Year in Business and Law, and the overall quality of the institution has raised serious concerns for me. In my class there were multiple students who could barely speak English, which made me question how the admission process works and whether the entry tests are actually meaningful. It is difficult to follow lessons and complete group work when some students cannot communicate at a basic academic level.

The professionalism of some teachers was also very poor. There were classes where the organisation was unclear, the teaching quality felt unstructured, and the level of professionalism did not match what you would expect from a higher education institution.

I also had issues with how academic matters were handled. After failing one module (Individual Project), I was told that I cannot progress to Year 1 and must retake the module with attendance. While I understand that failing a module has consequences, the way this was communicated and managed showed a lack of support and guidance for students.

Overall, the experience has made me seriously question the quality, organisation, and standards of the institution. I would strongly recommend that prospective students research carefully before enrolling.

I have no words to express how bad this institute has been operating.

Student support at the Birmingham campus is shocking. Emails are ignored, phones never been answered, and the only way to get a response is to physically go to campus. When you do, staff casually say “ we just seen your email” — as if not checking daily or replying is normal for them.
This constant lack of communication causes serious problems, including Student Finance delays and unnecessary stress. Many students are leaving because they receive little to no help when they need it most.

Management urgently needs to investigate the ignorance and lack of accountability within the Birmingham student support team and recruit staff who actually want to support students.

Completely unacceptable for an educational institution.

From 2 weeks i try to report scam in this university but no one from them care !!! All lines is leave to Voice mail, no agents responds nothing, no matter do you call to support or reception!!! If someone from this shitUni contact with me i will be happy to explain them situation because this is "Money wash Machine" all proofs is in my phone by screenshots let see does someone will ask me for them

My recent experience at the Elizabeth School of London – Leeds Campus, specifically with the Student Finance Support department, was unfortunately very disappointing. I repeatedly encountered an unhelpful and rather dismissive attitude from the staff. Breaks appear to be taken at random times rather than according to any clear schedule, which creates unnecessary difficulties for students who need assistance.

During one particular visit, I knocked on the office door shortly before 1:00 PM and was told they were on break. When I returned exactly at 1:00 PM, according to their stated opening hours, a staff member opened the door but immediately left for another break without offering any communication or guidance. As a student seeking support, I expected at least a basic level of courtesy and willingness to help.

This type of behavior creates an unwelcoming atmosphere and makes it challenging for students to resolve important academic and financial matters. I believe the Elizabeth School of London – Leeds Campus should pay closer attention to the professionalism and accessibility of its student services.

Very poor education institution, AVOID AT ALL COSTS. No support, poor management, toxic teachers. Study anywhere else.

The school's location is the only good thing for the students. The academic team (3 out of 5) members are so incompetent with their own subject knowledge and English Language communication (so many grammar mistakes - basics). The fault is within Bath SPA university, who partnered with this college for the sake of students (numbers only, no quality at all). I am not sure how the academic team was selected and as a student, i would like to know the interview or screening process for some of the academic team members. As for the students, we have to go for English language test, knowledge and speaking skills etc. I wish the University looked into this for the academic team who taught the foundation year for the Business Management programme. Most students can barely speak a sentence without making grammar mistake. Thank to chat GPT. If not, almost every student will fail.

I am a student at this university. I finished the Foundation Year, but I had so much stress because of their unprofessionalism. We use the Blackboard and MyRecord platforms, here the results always do not match. For example, on Blackboard I have a good score on an exam but in MyRecord I have a Fail. No one answers calls and emails. So, I do not recommend it. Only stress.

They are all about milking out the public funds. They have no intention of supporting or teaching students.

I enrolled at Elizabeth School of London (ESL) in January 2024. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing from the very beginning. The classes were dull and unstructured — I genuinely learned nothing during the Foundation Year.

We had a different teacher almost every day, and on several occasions, there were no teachers at all. We were left sitting in the classroom with nothing to do. I failed the Law module and, to this day — seven months after the end of the course — I have still not been given the opportunity to retake it. I am currently not allowed to attend any classes, nor have I received any proper academic guidance or updates.

Honestly, these were some of the worst months of my life. A complete waste of time, money, and, most of all, my mental health. Both the Canterbury support team and ESL continuously pass blame between each other and have offered me no real help or accountability.

I would strongly advise any prospective student to avoid enrolling at ESL. My experience was one of chaos, mismanagement, and disregard for student welbeing.

Avoid Elizabeth School of London (ESL) – Serious Neglect and Zero Academic Support

I am a Business Management student who enrolled through Elizabeth School of London – Manchester campus, and I need to warn others:

Despite submitting medical evidence, PIP documentation, and an Impaired Performance form on time, I was falsely marked as “Fail – Attempt 2” without being invited to any second exam. This was a clear violation of procedure and caused severe distress.

The Wellbeing Office confirmed my mental health struggles and that my documents were received, yet the school ignored them. I was left with 3 failed modules, not due to academic weakness, but because of institutional negligence and miscommunication.

I submitted my Stage 2 complaint, and instead of helping, they kept blaming each other (CCCU blames ESL, ESL blames CCCU). No one took responsibility. No fair appeal process, no accountability, no humanity.

I was treated more like a number than a person, and even with strong grades in other modules, I was academically penalized due to their own administrative failure.

If you care about your mental health, academic success, and basic respect as a student, avoid this school.

If there is option to give Zero stars I would . This is worst university you could be in . Students support department not helpful students success department are not helpful. I’m in ridiculous situation because of all the unhelpful people.

If you're thinking about attending Elizabeth School of London—don't. It's basically the Wish version of a college. The lecturers? Half of them look like they just stumbled in from a YouTube tutorial and the other half are busy Googling basic terms mid-lecture. How are you teaching a course if you don’t even know what “methodology” means?

Let’s not even talk about the vetting process—because clearly there isn’t one. They’re hiring people who can barely string a sentence together in English, and we’re meant to pay £9k a year for that? It’s giving “scam with a certificate.”

Speaking of scams—some agents are out here putting their own bank details on SFE applications and pocketing the money. That’s not just shady, that’s criminal.

And if you thought you’d at least get a clean place to study? Think again. There’s been two separate mice infestations and the rooms are so cold, it feels like you’re revising in a walk-in freezer. Don’t expect help either—management ghosts harder than your ex on weekends. place is a joke, and not the funny kind. There’s no management on weekends, so if something goes wrong (spoiler alert: it will), you’re on your own. Promises about course days? Pure fiction. They’ll say whatever it takes to get you in, and then conveniently “forget” everything they told you.

Need answers? Good luck with that! You’ll be bounced around like a ping-pong ball because apparently, nobody here knows how to do their job. Coordinators? Campus managers? Honestly, I’m not even sure what they’re being paid for because it certainly isn’t solving problems or doing anything remotely useful.

And here’s the cherry on top: they’re breaking DOFE rules left, right, and center, and guess what? They’re not even accredited. Yes, you read that right. They’re running this unregulated mess, and we’re supposed to trust them with our education? Please.

ESL is a hot mess, and unless you enjoy being scammed and ignored, do yourself a favor and stay far, far away

Unsafe. Unhygienic. Unqualified. Just avoid.

It was a big mistake choosing this "educational" institution for my university studying. There is nothing about the "education" and "studying". The teachers has poor English, very low management, during the online lessons and in campus face-to-face lesson - it is a constant break.

its Fraud. they accepting students without any education or knowledge of English.

students taking money from Gov but they not even speaking English.

its pure Scam. why its still operational! where gov looking
