Recent reviews
The tutor was very supportive and always available to provide guidance. Her feedback on assignments was clear, constructive, and helpful. The course content was well-structured and the learning materials were interesting and easy to understand. Overall, it was a positive and valuable learning experience and I appreciated the quality of support and resources provided for the course.
Having returned to learning I found that learning on-line was initially quite difficult. Personally in the early stages when it took me some time to get into my stride a telephone call from the institute to inquire how things were going would have been supportive. My tutor was very supportive and encouraging.
The course really helped me get myself together. I registered for a course soon after losing my brother and I was going through a hard time. The tutor was really helpful in guiding and giving me some direction throughout the course
