[**My experience in taking a course at futurelearn**](/reviews/66d9981252eed4cb9c5a0a84)

It was a great opportunity taking a course at futurelearn. I'm so happy I had a chance and I recommend everyone to take a course at futurelearn. What made it a great one was the videos attached to the course to broaden the understanding, quizzes, in all everything was on point

The only problem was to pay for my certificate after I was done learning which was not started initially

Futurelearn is an amazing educational provider. The experts and intellectual presenters are brilliant. The contents are well structured and meticulous. Learners with any learning style could follow sessions with ease. The rapport futurelearn maintains is highly qualititative. I learnt about the unknown journey of a Practice based Phd in Fine Art,design and Film.It was a life changing turning point for me. The staff too is wonderfully supportive and responds in a prompt and friendly manner. Also, the discussions ,sharing knowledge and ideas are interactive and insightful. My gratitude to futurelearn and I am in continuous anticipation with futurelearn. I invite and encourage learners to join futurelearn and ignite the unknown territories of your innate talents. I am indeed delighted to learn under your esteemed patronage. May futurelearn thrive with extended fruition.Explore your horizons with futurelearn.

It was a really good course I did I liked how most of the short courses were free up to a certain point

I don't like how the course I did made me pay to do the test at the end to get the certificate but that if I didn't get over a certain percentage I wouldn't get the certificate . I would have preferred it if I got to do the test for free and if I was happy with the result then I pay the £40 for the certificate

Although I understand that you need to charge people I think it would be important that you clarify that if we do not pay we do not get a certificate. Maybe there could an option where you get some sort of confirmation that you completed more than 90% of the tasks or something like that.

[**Revisiting Future Learn after a break.**](/reviews/66b6ae81de9c2723323ad05a)

At about the second week I thougt that too much time had to be spent on the course and it was outside the recommended timespan.

I liked the discussion forums but I noticed the 4 or 5 names that constantly appeared so I guess many persons don't bother to participate.

The weekly summaries were spot on and I appreciated them, even going back on the lesson and readings when I felt a point was not clear enough.

The course was well designed, impressive and well maintained. it was a comprehensive education that took me longer than eight hours.

The resources, videos, the app and the links were amazingly done.

I would like to suggest to run the future course for a couple of months to give the opportunity for students to study and interact with teachers more often.
