At Courses.ie, we believe reviews should be genuine, original, relevant and useful to others. Reviews should not be malicious, offensive or deliberately harmful.
Over 150,000 people use the Courses.ie website network every month to find and courses in Ireland. The reviews people share are really important to others who are trying to choose a course.
How does it work?
- Write your review and post it on our website. (You must be registered)
- Your review will be passed for moderation, which can take 1-2 working days. Until your review is reviewed, it will not be published on our website.
- All reviews are moderated. Your review will only be considered for publication if it meets review guidelines.
These are the guidelines for our reviews:
If your review does not meet the following review policy guidelines, it will not be published on Nightcourses.com. Further, we reserve the right to remove, without notification, any review at any time for any reason.
Genuine
- We spot check reviews to make sure they are not being left by clinic staff or by the staff of other colleges.
- Only genuine students can leave a review for colleges or courses listed on our site. If you were not a genuine student, and there is no record of you contacting a college through our site, your review may be deleted.
- You cannot write a review on behalf of someone else, but if you feel there is special circumstances you can email our reviews team and ask for assistance.
Original
- We’re all fans of recycling at Courses.ie, but not when it comes to reviews! If your review has been published somewhere else, we don’t want it.
Relevant
- There are a few basic things that are relevant to most people reading reviews. What course did you study at that college? Why were you looking to enrol on this course? Other relevant information includes price.
Useful
The best reviews tell people the story behind your course. They share things that you can’t learn from a brochure or an ad.
- How was your experience?
- Overall were you happy with the course?
Review & feedback guidelines:
