Julia P.
If you want someone to hold your hand and give you a pat on the back when you get a good grade, this is not the school for you. If you want to take it upon yourself to make an impact and contribute to your company or society at a higher level… LSBR is fine. I learned a ton about education and training… and everything I learned will most definitely help me with my career aspirations.
Margaret Chirwa
I attended London School of Business and Research because my work schedule and home life were altered in such a way that online was the only option. I can tell you that LSBR has prepared me for my now masters school at University of Chichester. They are a good school, and if there are people out there that think you can’t be challenged and educated via distance learning, I encourage you to give it a try.
Sean
London School of Business and Research is a great school that has a lot of options. In my opinion, it is very organized and they also challenge you and provide a curriculum that will assist in advancing your career. I rarely had any problems and I do recommend this school.
Jenifer Mc Canna
The classes and instructions were exactly what I wanted with the exception of one class. I believe that in most situations we have the one bad apple in the basket. This learning experience was much more than I ever expected from an online experience. I truly believes that the education and instructions from LSBR are exactly what a person should expect when they pay good money for your education. I will recommend this online experience to any person that wants to work hard to get good grades and can manage the work and still work a full time job and be on call once a month.
Ashley
I have nothing to say but good things about London School of Business and Research. The Instructors and the Academic/Financial Advisers work diligently to ensure my success. The materials are also excellent!
Dev
If anyone is thinking of attending this college, rest assured, you are making the right decision.
Paul
Great staff and awesome experience and I am better because of London School of Business and Research. I was having a difficult time pursuing a degree but the academic advisor team was friendly and cordial. Furthermore, the classes were applicable and engaging. I am currently working on finishing masters and thanks to LSBR I am able to do well in my program.
Allison
I have been a student at London School of Business and Research for over a year. Overall, I have had a great experience.
Jessica
Overall a wonderful experience. My 100% recommendations for LSBR
