They were quick and efficient with great customer service. The online resources and tools are best I’ve come across as, an educational professional within FE. I would recommend anyone who is wanting to up skill their career professional development. The pricing isn’t too expensive either for the amount of time for the course.

I completed my first course and am already looking for what to do next. The support that I received throughout was amazing. Anything that I didn't fully understand was explained thoroughly and clearly. It was a very involved course and so beneficial. I am amazed at how much I was able to learn through a fully online course. Definitely recommend!
