Emily Zivtins – Cambridgeshire
This course means I can take my career in a new direction
Thanks to this course I can take my career in a new and improved direction. After sustaining injuries where I have to be wheelchair bound I thought career prospects were slim. But now I have qualified I have hope again.
This course is amazingly well structured in such a way that it enabled me to memorise everything and in my own time, and explained in terms everyone could understand, the modules were short and to the point with very little unneeded information and at a great price too!
Online support staff were amazing, they couldn’t help enough. Messages were sent within 20 minutes and were extremely accurate. The final exam was easy and gave me plenty of time to complete with 30 questions and 30 minutes to answer (although only 10 minutes were needed), after ordering my certificate it was delivered within 48 hours. It looks amazing and the quality is great too.
