I thought the content and delivery of the course were informative and relevant and definitely helped with the practical sessions and for onward use. The online coursework also helped consolidate the learning.
My tutor provided me great support throughout the course, she was brilliant and I’m very grateful for her support.
JL and the team were absolutely brilliant and were able to help me complete this course in my own time. I will be looking to book further training with this provider in the future.
Cannot thank JL enough, she is brilliant at delivering the course. Fantastic in replying quickly, and getting the work sent back if needed. Cannot rate JL high enough. Thank you so much!!! You are a superstar!!
Very approachable tutor who was always ready to help with great advice and guidance. Team was always friendly when called to make enquiries. Would definitely recommend to others.
As this course was delivered online due to the pandemic, I was apprehensive about the online course sessions however they were enjoyable, well organised and engaging. The tutor offered help and advice whenever we needed it and checked in with us to see how we were getting on as we were assessed through remote learning.
