I would highly recommend this company above others because they have been so kind to me. I had such a huge issue middle of my course and they extended it for me because of this issue which meant I was able to complete it in time. I wouldn’t go anywhere else now.
Kamila Ventura
This course has been so amazing to be able to complete it at home and in my own time. My tutor did give me deadlines but it wasn't set in stone and I wouldn't get reminders to do the work if I missed a deadline that she set for me. This was so relaxing and I am so glad I chose to do i...t at my own pace because it has been an absolute joy to complete.
Eden Wickens
This course was PERFECT for me = being able to study at home, in my own time and complete units whenever I wished. My tutor responded to me promptly and with lots of positive feedback and suggestions on how to improve to better myself. Very pleased I chose this course and I am glad to... have pushed myself for the higher level.
Sydney Anderson
Happy to have chosen this course – didn’t need any previous knowledge which was a bonus! Completed within 8 months and got my certificate within 2 weeks after finishing = perfect course!
Jill Forbes
Enjoyed this course thoroughly due to each unit being different from one another and asking different questions. Some units were quicker to complete than others and this just showed me where I excelled and where I needed to focus on. I would highly recommend this course to anyone – ...with or without previous knowledge.
Natasha Perdiki
Excellent course, informative information provided on each unit and tutor feedback promptly replied with lots of suggestions. Enjoyed the course very much considering I didn't do any previous learning.
Erika
What I loved most about this course was that I was able to do it within my own time. It is not easy balancing a life with 2 children however 8 months later and I have managed to do it. I am so proud of myself for not giving up. My tutor especially helped by motivating me when I wasn't... handing assignments in, he boosted my confidence and was able to give me the courage to get it done quicker and to my maximum ability!
Kimberly Fernandez
What a great place to learn! The team are very friendly and my personal tutor was also very helpful and provided in-depth feedback. Although I had to wait between a few days and up to a week for the feedback, I didn't mind as I knew it would be instructive and would help me achieve my... fullest potential. I'm going to recommend this learning company to all my family and friends as I have not had a problem with it.
Samirah
Having completed my teaching assistant level 2 and 3, I wont be hesitating in enrolling on to another course. The whole home learning scheme was great to fit in around my busy schedule. The support from my learning tutor was most useful, always giving detailed feedback within a few da...ys of my request. When I received my certificate through the post I was overwhelmed with a sense of achievement!
Natasha Giblin
Fantastic course with great content, great tutor and easy to understand.

I have completed a couple of courses now with this company and love their structure and the tutor support. The difficulty of the course is just the right for the levels.
