I started their Level 3 teaching assistant course, and it was really good. Easy to access and covered everything well. I want to give a special thanks to the tutor who was super supportive and communicated really well the whole time. She also let me pause my course when I was sick, and her communication about it was really understanding, which I really appreciate.
