  • "They showed me support and kindness when my Dad passed away on the first week of the course. When I was able to start again in January there was a good range of tutors with different knowledgebases for duration of the 3 week classes. I had some extra support with the assessments and that was greatly received. The admin team were efficient and friendly especially Leanne. Online courses and self study juggled around home life is always challenging."
