I have recently completed the Autism Awareness course. Not only was it great value for money but the level of support from my tutor was great. I found her comments very helpful and enabled me to improve my next module. I chose the paper version rather than the online version so had to mail my modules and wait for my tutor to reply. I always recieved my modules back within 7-10 days by which time i had completed the next module and could send it straight off so got through the course quickly.... (read more)

The Teaching Assistant and Higher Level Teaching Assistant Diplomas have both helped not only boost my CV and career prospects, but have given... (read more)

Thank you for your comments. Just to clarify, we always recommend QCF qualifications to potential customers who ask for advice on employment in specific fields. We would not recommend a course that would not meet these requirements as we endeavour to maintain a customers happiness from the point of order through to completion. I must also highlight that the charges you received after returning your materials were due to the fact that you had written in the course materials and these could not be resold. The cancellation was provided as a gesture of goodwill as the cancellation period had expired and the materials had been used.

I have been reading the subject (non vocational) for some time, having already purchased a variety of technical books. I found them hard going at times, but almost immediately after starting the course, it all began to fall into place.

He put me in my place with a couple of homework instalments for which I was a bit lax, and after that I really enjoyed the course. I am... (read more)
