My uncle died and had 10 new courses still in their wrapping and boxed. The company say that they offer a lifetime guarantee or a one year refund for no reason. I returned them but they refused to accept the returns and would not give a refund. they said the guarantee was personal to my late uncle only. They were worth £500. Disgraceful.

Best entertainment value anywhere. As an added channel on to Amazon Prime you can learn about many interests. Not exactly PhD level courses, but better than standard television (discovery channel etc). The complete courses are rather comprehensive.

Do not touch. They fraudulently steal money from your account. I was on 3 monthly plan. I cancelled my membership over a week ago. There was no payment due, as one had been taken in October. I changed my credit card number to ensure they could not take money from me again. I removed the credit card number I had initially given them. They had clearly stored the number. Have then stolen money from my account for a yearly subscription of $178.18. Don't go near them.

I have been enjoying courses from this company for the last ten years, in the fields of history, linguistics, science, literature, music, economics, theology and photography. With one exception [The World Was Never the Same by Rufus Fears] they have all been excellent. I have listened to some of them more than once. These courses have broadened my outlook on life, educated me, and entertained me [especially anything by Profs Robert Greenberg and John McWhorter]. They give you your money back without question if you don't like a course. What's not to like?

Amazing. Top class Professors numerous courses to listen to some have 24 lectures. Like going to University ( I did in the 70's) but at £18 a month! But why almost all American lecturers?
