“Having not studied for a reasonable length of time, I was looking for a course that could be work based but also a challenge, and probably an opportunity to do something away from the office. I really was not sure what to expect or if I could achieve the qualification. I found each module within the course interesting, and really enjoyed the independent study after the lectures. I would have no hesitation in recommending the course. Certainly employers are looking for staff with recent qualifications, and those that can work, learn and live with a good work life balance. I believe I have gained new skills, which will benefit my employer, and I have been putting these into practise over the last six months.”
