The course has been great - I have children so I wasn't sure how it was going to be balancing family life with studying, but thanks to my tutors being so supportive, it was fine - the overall experience has been totally worth it and I'm so excited to be celebrating my hard work!

I absolutely love the course. It's so interesting and I learn something new every day. Not only that, the teachers are so supportive and you can tell that they genuinely care which is nice. They always make sure they see you 1-1 and cover any areas you need to focus on to improve.
