"I would highly recommend Watson Martin. I completed my CIPD Level 7 Certificate in Human Resources and Amanda was brilliant, as were the tutors for each course day. I opted for the course workshop route, which I really enjoyed because of the opportunity to meet with other students (we're still in contact now and I've found this invaluable). Amanda marked things very quickly, gave helpful feedback and when it comes to completing my full diploma in future, I will certainly return to Watson Martin to do so." Emma King
