still waiting for results
I am student of London School of Business and Finance (LSBF), i started my MBA in 2009 October, it supposed to be finished in October 2010. i got through all the subjects at first time, but unfortunately still i am waiting for my final results. now college saying that they were offering postgraduate diploma not a postgraduate degree. (MBA) we enrolled for a MBA programme which is awarded by University of wales. CAS letter and every documents issued on that basis, every details are included in the letters provided by the college and the university.
the worst thing would be the university don't issue our postgraduate diploma certificate either. i got the exemption for some subjects as i am qualified chartered accountant (CIMA). that is the only result confirmation i got from the university of wales so far. if i suppose to register with another university i need my past results to get exemption, otherwise i have to start from the beginning and have to follow all the subjects again. it is waste of time and money as well.
i have already spent huge amount of money for my studies, i spent more than two year of my life for this, but college and university are silent in this regarding. i no need to spend another one year and huge amount of money for a another MBA any more. therefore at lest now i need result confirmation for the subjects that i have completed with UoW. i have requested my result confirmation from several times, but i didn't get even any reply from the university yet. this would be my last and final request. it is my right to get result for the subjects i have completed. i know that the UoW has faced critical issue as the awarding body of some Bogus colleges. but we are genuine students, we paid huge amount of pounds to college, LSBF is a highly trusted college according to the UKBA. therefore i will never ever give up this case until i get satisfactory response from the university. i don't want to lose my money and time as well spent for this course. therefore i am fighting until get my final result from the UoW. further as i got to know from my friends, universities and colleges are dragging the students issues without giving any clear response until students' visa is expired, but it is not applicable to me because i am no longer international student. there is no any visa problem any more.i talked with my solicitor regarding this matter. now i am left with no choice other than take legal action against university and college.
Hi, folks!
I am facing a similar problem by the studyinteractive.org / LSBF. I delivered my dissertation on 01 March 2016 and am still waiting for results and certificate (status quo of 2016-09-09). The institution is unable to give any clear feedback about max. deadline for delivering end results and concluding this whole process.
Have you finally got results and certificate? How long did it take?
I would greatly appreciate if I could get reply from you, since this level of disrespect towards students is absolutely incomprehensible and unacceptable.
Thank you.
Wishing you all the best.
My name is Julieth Garzon Vargas, my student Id is A4076331. I was student at LSBF doing the hnd management course that "ended" september 2015. I submitted all my assignments then and have received all of my results, late, but I have them. However I have yet to receive any communication regarding my graduation from the course or the certificate which proves that I have completed it.
Five months have already passed and no communication has been made. When will I receive my certificate? What the hell is going on? at this point I am just wondering if I should contact a lawyer and try to get a refund for the course, but then who will refund me two years of my life wasted for nothing?
ANYONE LOOKING TO STUDY AT LSBF, , , , DONT!
I am also still waiting for my MBA (UOW) results and it has been more than 7 months now! nobody is giving me a tentative date as to when the result will be given. All they say is that we will contact you as soon as we receive it!
Lsbf Worst school ever, I have enrolled for Acca .Luckly for 6 papers not for all of them but still more than £3500 .That time I have been told first time pass guarantee, If students can't pass free reseat guarantee etc but when you Ayten the class everything below average, poor materials I deceid to leave in first month and applied for refund therefore I dint clarify and even I couldn get £1 back instead they offer some other useless course :(
Actually, I can not believe that this is an educational organization. They kept sending me emails and threats during continuous THREE months asking me to pay my fees.Every time, I replied to them by sending my bank transfer confirmation and an email from THEIR PROGRAM ADVISER confirming the receipt of the entire tuition fees. Finally, they understood that there is no hope to abuse me, they stopped their emails even without apologizing.
LondonSchool of Business and Finance - Poor service and study material that is not up to standard
I am now at the stage where I want to cancel my course with LSBF. On the one hand, the service I have received has been shocking, the response time is slow and I have not been properly informed from day one. I don't feel that I have enough support. Even with regards to my C03 tutor. I emailed him weeks ago and have still not received a response. On the other side, I am not happy with the standard of LSBF study material. I initially applied to study CIMA+MBA at the London School of Business and Finance Manchester campus in February 2015. I was pushed to make the payment of £9744 and once I did then suddenly the course was not available for me anymore. I was deferred to the course in August. I was not happy to wait about 6 months and then was encouraged to start the online course at a cost of £4200 and I was assured I would get the rest of my money back. I was told to apply for a refund using the online refund portal to apply for the refund of £5544. I applied for the refund and proceeded to wait. Over a month later a refund of £3946 was approved. I queried the outstanding amount of £1598 and was told that it was for the MBA exam and dissertation fees. I was not informed of this prior to applying for my refund. I explained that I did not want to pay these fees now as I was not sure that I would even do the MBA anymore. I was told to apply for another refund of £1598 separately. This refund was refused as I did not do it within the necessary time frame. This was not my fault though as I was waiting for a response to the refund application in which I requested the full refund of £5544 and I was not informed of the fees in a timely matter. I have still not received my refund of £3946 and it has been 3 months since it was approved. I have phoned and e-mailed countless times and the only response I receive is that they are waiting for payment dates from the finance team. After studying the 18 chapters for C02 and watching all the online lectures with LSBF. I felt I was prepared for the C02 exam - I tried some mock exams and there was a lot I did not know. I complained to my LSBF C02 tutor and was told it was impossible to cover the whole syllabus, which I think is ridiculous. I was then advised to buy the study text from BPP - which was another 400 and something pages and that meant I had to lay out more money. I went through the study text from BPP and found that it had all the information that I needed. I have now moved onto C03 with LSBF and once again I am very disappointed with the information in the LSBF study guide and on the lectures. I feel it is not up to standard. I again bought the C03 study text from BPP and there is no doubt about it that this study text will equip me for the exams and I do not feel that LSBF study material will. I cannot afford to continue to buy extra study text over the next few years after I have already laid out £5544. I have paid so much money to study with LSBF and yet I have to spend more money to buy separate study text to learn everything needed – that does not make sense to me. I therefore have decided that I would not like to complete the CIMA+MBA through LSBF. I would like to cancel the course. I explained this an employee of LSBF and he said it shouldn’t be a problem – I would simply have to pay for the 2 modules I have used and an administration fee but the rest of my money should be able to be refunded. He told me that I would again need to apply for a refund using the refund portal and that is where I can apply to cancel my course. I did so and that refund has been refused because again it was not done within the necessary time frame and that my opinion that the material is not up to standard is not a valid one. The have not kept me up to date on any of my refunds. They have not given me any other options and I feel like I am in the dark here. I want to make everyone aware of how one can be trapped by LSBF.
I want to apply for the advanced certificate in strategic maketing management ( executive education online) is there any issue about that coz all the claims are about MBA only, thx
Hi,
All students who have been waiting for their degree results please contact me on businexuk@gmail.com. I have started a legal claim process against LSBF and any of you with similar 'pending results' issue can help a lot by providing your details.
I suspect that LSBF has never forwarded any dissertations to University of Wales.
Good luck.
Dear all.e
I am also one of victim of LSBF. I have paid almost 6000 pound back in 2009, ones I asked for refund and they started playing with me and I was asking from one person to another. Last week they told me that I wan't get my refund due to I have attained 1 month class,
surprisingly now they dont have any accreditation with government body, even they are not authorised. so if you guys have any problem related refund with LSBF please contact me as I have already applied for legal action.
also please find regional office or Agent in your country inform them not to send any student in LSBF.

So, LSBF team how are we doing. I'm still waiting for the reply from your colleagues. It seems they really want me to take this matter with an external body.
