“I liked the fact that it was online so I could study in my own time, for someone who has not been in education for a while the site was simple to use and the learning timetable extremely reasonable and well timed. My personal tutor kept me well informed and on target. ”
Sonja Sinclair, payroll officer, Hereford & Worcester FRS
“The course was extremely beneficial and I would recommend to anyone even considering a degree course next year. It gave me the freedom to study at a time that was convenient to me; the group forum was brilliant and gave me the confidence to ask questions, I had the ability to contact my tutor at any time and I really enjoyed the course. ”
I found the course brilliant and easy to follow each subject, the course fit round my other commitments and didn‘t feel under to much pressure to complete each module. My tutor responded quickly to any questions I had in a timely manner.
