What our students say...

I really appreciate tutor's patience in relationship with the students. I have noticed his outstanding ability to organise his time in regards with the student's demands ( for example if there are three students having different levels of understanding, the tutor can split his time to pay attention and teach the study material for each individual without delaying study pace for the rest of the classroom). That's really amazing the way the tutor manages his resources regard student's each individual needs!!! Thank you!

Tutor was very helpful and answered every question I could ask in great detail. It was very useful the way the sessions were conducted and focused on the most important and difficult areas of the course. Some equipment was faulty but replaced in quick time when flagged.

Although COVID has forced the centres to take in less students, and having to compress the weeks of the course together the staff managed to give a high quality of instructing and mentoring to help us get up to standard for out practical and theory exams.
