The course was well-structured with plenty of interaction. The teacher was happy to provide additional support with specific questions and understood how different exam boards had different approaches. I would like the PowerPoint slides and practice questions from the teacher to be provided, as these are much easier and faster to go through than scrolling through hours of recordings, but the recordings themselves were provided so it's valuable to be able to refer back to them.
The course was very well structured and I have learned allot from the webinar. Overall I can’t praise simply academy enough for their help not just during the course but afterwords as well.
David knew his stuff and made it interesting plus interactive
