How have other people found this course?

“I found myself unemployed last year, and had lots of spare time, so I decided to invest in this course. I am aged 53 and I am not very computer literate, however, I found the website easy to use. The tutor availability was fantastic, and the information that was available was invaluable. I completed the course with ease, and I have since gone on to get a job as a support worker, working with victims of domestic abuse. I highly recommend home learning for any ages.”
